Summary
We hope you packed a lunch for today's show. You're gonna need it.
Yes, it's Thursday so 247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong is here to spread wisdom on the following topics:
* Jalen Berger, Michael Drennen, E.J. Smith ... who will be Ohio State's running back recruits in 2020?
* Which Ohio State freshmen has Wiltfong heard are thriving in camp? Is there a freshman who is the best player at his position ... already?
* Real football starts this weekend. Who does Wiltfong thinks emerges in the Florida-Miami tussle and will we be treated to a Tate Martell sighting?
That would be enough for your standard Thursday show. But like we said: It's a MEGA POD Thursday.
We are also joined by Dane Brugler, NFL Draft Expert for The Athletic. He offers the most complete breakdowns you can get on the possible NFL futures of several Buckeyes:
*Chase Young
*Jeffrey Okudah
*Thayer Munford
*K.J. Hill
*Austin Mack
*Ben Victor
*Jordan Fuller
*Jonathan Cooper
*BB Landers
*Malik Harrison
*Damon Arnette
How many first rounders are in that group? Who would Dane take if Chase Young, Nick Bosa and Joey Bosa were available in the same draft?
Spend a lot more than 5ish with us today, 'Nutters!
