Summary
Ohio State has had a lot of great centers in recent memory. Is third-year sophomore Josh Myers about ready to join that group?
The People's Champ, Matt Baxendell, certainly believes so. Bax joins Dave Biddle to talk about Myers, plus:
* Thoughts on quarterbacks Justin Fields and Matthew Baldwin.
* What exactly was Fields told when he transferred to OSU? Was he promised the starting job behind closed doors, or no?
* What stands out the most about what is happening on the defensive side of the ball for the Buckeyes?
All of that and more is coming at you on the Wednesday extravaganza.

| 0:28.0 | Bucknut is welcome to the Bucknuts Morning 5 here on Wednesday, April 3rd, 2019. |
| 0:34.2 | I am Dave Middle very aptly joined by the People's Chimp Matt Baxendale. |
| 0:39.7 | Bax, as you look at the quarterback situation for Ohio State, you know, Ryan Day is keeping it very close to the vest. |
| 0:46.0 | I'm just curious to get your take on this. I mean, do you feel like it's definitely Justin Fields's job? I mean, do you feel like Matthew Baldwin has a shot to win this thing? |
| 0:54.2 | Just as you break it down how do you view this quarterback situation for the buck guys? |
| 1:00.0 | Well from the start I have believed this is a legitimate competition. |
| 1:04.4 | I don't think there's a worse way to start a tenure for a head coach |
| 1:08.2 | than to say I've already decided on who's starting, |
| 1:10.8 | especially to the place like Ohio State where in theory you can recruit the best kid in a class and that kid doesn't believe, the number one kid in the country in any position doesn't believe they have a chance to play right away because the |
| 1:23.6 | coaches made his mind up already at its most high-profile starting spot before a |
| 1:27.5 | game's played, that hurts. That makes Ryan Day have problems. |
| 1:33.0 | So I genuinely believe this is an open competition. |
| 1:36.7 | I believe that from the start. |
| 1:38.8 | I also believe Ryan Day really likes Matthew Baldwin. |
| 1:42.0 | I think Matthew Baldwin's a recruit that didn't |
| 1:44.4 | necessarily get the hype that he would have had he been at a different school. |
| 1:47.8 | Number he didn't start until he was a senior in high school and he played a really nice |
| 1:51.6 | senior year came on really strong OSU picked him up late, and then he got hurt again. |
| 1:56.0 | So this is a kid that may be one of those fly under the radar kind of players. |
| 2:00.0 | I don't think this is a shoe-in for Justin Fields. And while I would bet on Fields to |
| 2:06.2 | win, I certainly think Baldwin is going to get a fair shot. If you're Justin Fields and you transfer to Ohio State after you go to Georgia thinking |
