Summary
It was not as big of a recruiting weekend as initially anticipated for Ohio State due to the weather, but it was still rather large. Both literally and figuratively.
Offensive line prospects Doug Nester and Dawand Jones were at OSU for official visits over the weekend. How did they go? Will both of them sign with Ohio State exactly two weeks and two days from now when the now "late" signing period commences (Feb. 6)?
As for the team itself, will new linebackers coach Al Washington make any personnel changes as far as the Buckeyes' starting LBs? Or will the three returning starters once again be starters this fall?
What's the latest on Keandre Jones? He's in the transfer portal, but might he end up returning to OSU for his senior year?
Is quarterback depth a concern for Ohio State this year? Or is too much made of that?
And what is up with the Buckeyes' basketball team, who have lost four straight games?
Patrick Murphy joins Dave Biddle on the MLK Day edition of the show to discuss all of that and more.
