Summary
Mark Porter has seen more Ohio prospects than anyone this offseason. It's true. Has it been easy? If you like being away from your family, fast food and motels ... sure.
It's certainly been productive. Nobody has the knowledge our guy does.
Today's show not only has video from his latest stop but also praise and insight on Tim Hinton, the Ohio State assistant coach out on the road almost as much as Mark.
We also pick up where we left off on the recent commitment of Wyatt Smith and soak up the buzz on coveted defensive lineman Marcus Fakatou.
Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

| 1:49.0 | And it seems like people are torn. |
| 1:50.7 | They can't decide whether he projects as a defensive end |
| 1:54.1 | or kind of a stand-up outside linebacker. |
