Summary

Kerry Coombs has been on the job for just a week-and-a-half. Yet, Ohio State's defensive coordinator is pounding the pavement on the recruiting trail and could wind up landing some of the top cornerbacks in the country in the 2021 class. Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit to discuss that, including: * What's the latest with the No. 1 corner in the country for 2021, Tony Grimes? How much of a difference is Coombs making with him? * Are the Buckeyes the clear front-runners to land the No. 5 cornerback in the nation, Jakailin Johnson? * What does JBook think about four-star corner Jordan Hancock? * What will Ohio State's 2020 offense look like from a run/pass balance? Are we going to be looking at an offense much more similar to 2018? * Which three-tech defensive tackle does JBook think will step up for OSU this fall? All of that and more is coming at you on the Friday 5ish. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

0:32.0	Five here on Friday, January 31st, 2020. I am Dave Biddle.
0:35.8	Very to be joined by Jonah Booker for his usual Friday visit. Jay Book and I are going to get into some corner recruiting discussion, looking at some of the top corners
0:44.0	that the buck guys are in on for the 20-21 class and Jaybook let's start right at the
0:49.5	top man the number one corner in the country Tony Tony Grimes, number 10 overall prospect, obviously a five-star kid at a Virginia Beach, Virginia.
0:57.0	Sounds like Carrie Combs is making a massive difference so far with the recruitment.
1:02.0	Early on in his recruitment, Ohio State was one of the
1:04.4	front runners and they went to an afterthought. It sounds like Jaybook and now they're back to being, quote,
1:09.4	one of the front runners, just what are you hearing about Tony Grimes and just how big would that be if Carrie Cobes can land him?
1:15.0	Yeah, credit to 11 warriors for posting the article that just came out this week
1:21.0	where they were interviewing Tony Grines' father.
1:25.1	And you have to feel really good about what the father had to say there.
1:30.0	As you mentioned, essentially Ohio State looked like they were out of it but with the
1:33.8	emergence of Carrie Combs back on the staff Ohio State is really in the thick of
1:38.4	things obviously cornerback is going to be a huge priority for this team.
1:43.6	The buck guys told Grimes that he's their top guy at the position on the board.
1:48.2	He's one of the top guys on 24-7 rankings and in the country, a top top 10 guy once they get their five
