Summary

On this big Wednesday Buckeye Talk, Doug Lesmerises, Nathan Baird and Stephen Means once again take 20 rapid fire questions from text subscribers. But there's some deep discussion off the top. The first texter asked which state, other than Ohio, is the most important for the Buckeyes to recruit. Looking at the number of players Ohio State has pulled from different states since Urban Meyer's first full class in 2013, the guys found many different ways this answer could go. Later, they got into comparing Ohio State receiver recruiting to Alabama receiver recruiting; they answered why there may be a dip in top-shelf OSU linebacker play; they discussed whether there will be another defensive Heisman Trophy winner in their lifetimes; and they debated whether Brian Hartline or Larry Johnson would be more difficult for Ohio State to replace. It's another round of 20 great questions and 20 fun answers. Thanks for listening to Buckeye Talk. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices.

Sometimes we dig in heavy on one thing, sometimes we dance around on many things. And I am going to have to stop watch today for the five minute discussions, but I do think this first topic will

1:07.2

take longer than five minutes and it deserves for more than five minutes because it is a I just think absolutely fascinating

1:14.7

question and it led me into a mountain of research and I did not know what my

answer to this question would be which means it's a good question. So here we go from

now in recruiting? Whether that be where they've had the
