Summary

There is a tremendous amount of Ohio State football chatter to get into on today's show as Jonah Booker joins Dave Biddle for his usual Friday visit. We start off talking about the transfer portal, specifically who the Buckeyes might lose and who they might bring in. There is a very good chance OSU lands multiple players via the portal on defense. Also on the docket:

* Thoughts on the Buckeyes landing high 4-star quarterback recruit Devin Brown in the 2022 class. (Hint: JBook loves this development.)

* But the No. 1 QB in the country is right here in Ohio: Drew Allar. Will Ohio State regret not landing him one day and losing him to Penn State?

* Which direction will the Buckeyes turn to find their new defensive coordinator?

* Who else is big Iowa fans Saturday night?

All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

0:00.0	Good morning, Buck Nudder's welcome to to the
0:29.8	Bucky Nuts morning five here on Friday, December 3rd, 2021. I am Dave Bittel. I am joined by
0:35.0	Jonah Booker for his usual Friday visit. A lot to get into. Let's start off with a transfer
0:39.7	portal. I think there's going to be a lot of action in the near future in the portal from what
0:45.4	I've been told. Who do you think Ohio State might lose? They've already lost Jack Miller? Who else do
0:49.7	you think they might lose? And what position groups do you think they're going to be focused on as
0:54.4	far as bringing guys into the program here at Ohio State? Yeah. If Ohio State is poised to
0:59.7	lose quite a bit of people here, I would not be surprised. I mean, if you look at the transfer
1:03.9	portal over the last several weeks since pretty much since the season ended, it has been a slew of
1:09.4	kids right now with the free pass with the transfer role is basically free agency on steroids. So
1:17.3	you have a lot of guys who are going to be looking for opportunities to get their chance to shine.
1:22.8	And I think Ohio State, you know, as far as the offensive line, that's going to be a
1:28.9	position to keep an eye on because they have some guys kind of buried down there on that
1:32.9	on that depth chart that may not see the field. So it's going to be interesting to see where those
1:38.9	guys actually had because even though you're going to be losing their month or probably
1:44.2	Nicholas Petit for air, you still have a slew of guys that may not be of how state quality
1:50.9	offense alignment. I think Greg Stodradra, the offensive line coach missed on a lot of his
1:58.5	high-end offensive line targets. So he ended up backfilling that position with some guys that
2:04.3	may not ever see the field here. So I wouldn't be surprised if you see some guys hit the portal there.
2:10.5	But as far as Ohio State looking for guys in the portal, I think it's absolutely critical that
2:17.6	they go into the portal, try to find at least two linebackers because the fact that we didn't
2:22.9	have enough healthy linebackers to run a defense to stack the box against Michigan is awful.
