Summary

Ohio State football has only offered eight running backs in the 2023 recruiting class with hopes of landing two. Mark Fletcher was the first to come on board doing so in April but others on the list have committed elsewhere or cut down their options with the Buckeyes on the outside looking in. As the cycle heads into May, Stephen Means and Nathan Baird take a look at OSU's top remaining options, its chances of landing each and whether it should widen the field to reach its goals.

0:00.0	Hey, hey, where you been? But God talk is about to begin. Hey, hey, hey, come on in.
0:30.0	Welcome back to Buckeye Talk. I'm Nathan Baird, joined by Steven Means. We're both of Cleveland.com,
0:38.5	and we're here to talk recruiting. It's Tuesday on the pod. A lot of NFL draft stuff kind of later
0:45.0	this week, obviously, because the NFL draft is coming up later this week. But this is a conversation
0:50.0	about future Buckeyes who hope to go in the NFL draft. Steven, you are newly back from vacation.
0:55.6	Where'd you go? What's going on? I didn't go anywhere. I was at home entire time sleeping.
1:00.1	Oh, staycation. I believe the kids call it or actually their parents probably call it that.
1:06.0	Just sleeping, just sleeping for seven days. Yeah, sleeping, being very lazy. It was amazing.
1:12.0	I recommend everybody should like have a week in their life where they're just lazy.
1:17.0	I, uh, I think there's probably some merit to that. I'm about to take a couple of months off
1:22.9	where I'm told I'm not going to sleep at all. So I may need to then follow that up somehow. I
1:27.3	don't know. I think maybe I've slept my last night of sleep. Maybe it was like whatever night

1:36.2	been told. People, people are are kind of telling these horror stories of, oh, you're going to sleep
1:41.5	like two hours a night and say goodbye to ever feeling rested again. We'll see. I hate that for you,
1:48.4	but I love it for you at the same time for this life, you know. Yeah. Yeah. We'll see. I think
1:52.8	I think it's one of those things where it won't be as bad as a few. One of those things where you,
1:57.5	you, you, you hear the worst of it. People tell you to expect the worst of it. And then if you
2:02.3	just have a picture of it being that terrible, then when you finally experience it, it won't seem
2:08.2	still bad. That's what I'm hoping for going into it. Fair point. Fair point. Well, not a lot of
