Summary

Ohio State is stable. The defending national champions are ranked No. 1. Quite attractive as a destination, wouldn't you say? There are other, less stable programs garnering interest, among them Penn State, LSU and Florida. By that we mean, many prospects committed to those headless operations have prospects attracting another wave of interest. That interest is coming from stable programs like Ohio State. Defensive backs coach Tim Walton was on the road seeing a committed Gator on Friday night. Garrick Hodge and Mark Porter are here and we dive deep on that. Speaking of Penn State, the Nits come to Columbus this weekend and there are on-field and recruiting implications to discuss. Considering we also spent quality time answering questions from our LIVE chatters, this is one of those shows you don't want to miss.
