Summary

Ohio State’s spring game is in the rearview mirror, and Buckeye Talk is here to talk about what’s next as the offseason hits full swing. But this year has a change from previous seasons. The spring portal window is now gone, as only one window exists going forward. That means OSU's roster has been set since January. But what if that second window still existed? How would Ohio State need to use it coming out of 15 spring practices? Stephen Means, Stefan Krajisnik and Andrew Gillis explore that on this episode of Buckeye Talk.
