Summary

Running back Darvon Hubbard decommitted from Ohio State on Thursday -- largely because the Buckeyes had cooled on him.

Ohio State still wants to sign two running backs in its 2020 recruiting class. Who might those RBs be?

Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit, and JBook has plenty of suggestions and insights.

Also, spring practice begins for OSU a week from Monday. Yes, March 4 is when spring ball kicks off. What will JBook be looking for the most on each side of the ball?

All of that and more on the Friday extravaganza.

1:14.6	All indications were that this was an inevitable decommitment here.
1:20.2	Once news broke and I know Bill Kerlic on the board and his article said that when Ohio State was out to Scott Dale to visit Jack Miller for spring evaluations, they didn't even talk to Hubbard.
1:33.5	So that right there was a telltale sign
1:35.8	that they was hoping that he would look around.
