Summary

We all knew coming into the 2022 season that Ohio State's 2021 recruiting class was special. But with the emergence of Michael Hall Jr. and others, could it be even better than we anticipated? That would be a scary thought for OSU's opponents. JBook and Dave Biddle discuss that, give predictions on the OSU-Toledo game tomorrow night, talk about whether Caden Curry should have a bigger role on the defense, give thoughts on Chip Trayanum stepping up as the No. 1 kickoff returner and much more.

All of that and more is coming your way on the Friday 5ish.

0:00.0	Good morning, Buck Nudders. Welcome to the Buck Nuts Morning.
0:29.9	We're on Friday, September 16th, 2022. I am Dave Biddle, very happy to join by
0:34.6	Jonah Booker for his usual Friday visit. Love talking to you the day before a
0:38.0	game, Ohio State Toledo. Tomorrow night at the horseshoe we'll get into that.
0:41.5	A little bit later, Toledo was a solid team out of the Mac. I want to get in, I
0:45.1	want to start the show talking about Ohio State's 2021 recruiting class.
0:47.8	Jay Book, we knew coming in the season, it was a lead. Traveey on Henderson, JT-2
0:52.6	Mille-O-L, Jack Sawyer, I mean on and on and on. It might be better than what we
0:56.9	thought. Guys like Michael Hall Jr. stepping up. I didn't see. I thought one of
1:00.9	the second year defensive lineman needed to step up as a star. I was thinking
1:04.0	either JT-2 Mille-O-L, Jack Sawyer, Ty League Williams, and I'm high on all those
1:08.4	guys still. But with Michael Hall Jr. stepping up, I mean it was a bunch of
1:12.4	other guys. So we haven't seen Jordan Hancock play this year. I know Denzel
1:15.5	Burt's taken a little step back, but I'm still high on him. Good this 2021 class,
1:20.4	but even better than we thought, which is a scary proposition. I think they
1:24.8	can, Dave. I mean, you look at this class right now and I was probably, you have
1:29.2	to obviously point out the defensive line. They have exceeded my expectations
1:33.8	out the gates right now. They're playing some high level football. And as you
1:37.9	mentioned, the emergence of Michael Hall, that's been the big one there because I
1:41.9	think he has the potential to be a star. I didn't see this type of play coming
1:47.3	from him after he reds her. They were always confident that Mike could play
1:52.9	here and thought that he was a heck of a guy when it came to working out, doing
