Summary

Redshirt freshman defensive back Shaun Wade is now practicing exclusively with the safeties for Ohio State.

We like this development a lot, we just wonder what took so long.

Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit to discuss Wade, plus:

* What are thoughts on safeties Isaiah Pryor and Amir Riep?

* How is the Buckeyes' running game looking through five games?

* K.J. Hill stepping up as perhaps the go-to receiver on OSU's team.

* Should the Buckeyes consider resting Dre'Mont Jones against Indiana?

* What are predictions for tomorrow’s OSU-IU game?

All of that and more on the Friday extravaganza.

Good morning, Bucknowes, welcome to the Bucknuts Morning.

0:29.9

I'm Dave Vittel, very happy to join by Jonah Booker for his usual Friday visit.

0:36.9

Jay Buck, Sean Wade is now practicing exclusively with the safeties.

0:40.9

He's always with Coach Alex Grinch when they do meetings, at least this week.

0:44.9

They even said it's permanent, but this does tell me, in my opinion, that the Bucknuts have found their answer

I don't know what took so long.

I mean, everyone pretty much since the start of the season has been asking for Sean Wade to move over there,

1:10.9

at least give him a look because that position opposite of Jordan Fuller has been a major red flag all season long.

1:18.9

So thank goodness he's actually moving there full time.

1:22.9

I'm still kind of in the mode. I believe it when I see it.

1:26.9

I know they've been talking about it for the last couple of weeks,

1:30.9

but I need to see him actually starting back there.

1:34.9

And I know we've talked about it on the Bucknuts message board in regards to

Jordan Fuller is essentially not playing the centerfield role that he did last year,

1:46.9

which he thrived in, which was the Malink Hooker role, playing that centerfield,

1:51.9

being able to detract the ball, Fuller led the team in tackles last year in that centerfield role.

1:58.9

And they switched him to more of the cover safety and move as they are prior and went to the centerfield safety

2:08.9

and it's just not getting the done.

2:10.9

I think the natural progression needs to be moving Fuller back to his original home

2:17.9
