Summary
The Dean is back!
We welcome Bill Kurelic home after a brief sojourn and he hits the recruiting trail running with our Mark Porter on today's show.
Both fulfill their legal obligation to comment on Julian Sayin being named Ohio State's starting quarterback before deep dives on:
* Bralan Womack, Blaine Bradford and our expectations for what comes next.
* Where in Ohio our guys will be focused on when high school games kick off (see: watching future Buckeyes).
* Video of elite Ohio offensive linemen Sam Greer (Ohio State commitment) and Mason Wilt, who the Buckeyes are chasing on the trail.
Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

| 0:07.0 | The Good morning Bucknutters. It is Tuesday, August 19th, 2025. I am Dan Rubin. This is the Bucknoughts morning 5 in Change, whose podcast covers the national champions. |
| 0:40.3 | We're going to welcome back to Dean today. |
| 0:43.3 | Bill Curlic, a much needed sojourn, but he is back and ready as the season beckons. |
| 0:49.3 | And of course, we also have the grand pooh-bob, Mark Porter, here today. |
| 0:53.3 | Very important announcement, |
| 0:55.0 | though, starting today and going forever, Mark Porter will be hosting a live chat for our VIP |
| 1:02.8 | subscribers right after this podcast at 10 a.m. sharp on the site. This is for VIP users only. It is a very, very great opportunity to get up close |
| 1:15.4 | and personal with Mark. He's going to be doing like this every week. Like I said, you'll be able |
| 1:20.8 | to submit questions ahead of time on the front row if you're a VIP subscriber and can't make |
| 1:26.0 | it there today. And then the chat will go on live at 10 a.m. |
| 1:29.9 | Mark will answer all the questions and then we'll post a transcript of that at some point. |
| 1:34.5 | But the goal is to get you as much Mark Porter as we can as the season gets going. |
| 1:39.3 | And one programming note on Thursday's show, we will of course have the Dean and the Grand Poobaugh, |
| 1:46.4 | but at 9.30 a.m. I'll be joined by Gain Bruegler from the Athletic, who is the premier NFL |
| 1:52.6 | draft guru going these days, and he will preview all of your Buckeyes for the season ahead. |
| 1:59.2 | We did this a year ago, and he was pretty |
| 2:02.0 | much on point with who went where, and we will talk about that. But like I said, Mark Porter |
| 2:06.9 | checked directly after the show, Dame Bruegler at 930, and that's really important. For those |
| 2:14.7 | of you who were here yesterday, you saw Dave and I wearing Bengals and |
| 2:19.7 | Cowboys gear, and you thought to yourself, man, those are some ugly shirts. They're pretty loud. |
| 2:25.3 | I'm not going to lie, but they were sweet and they felt great and they were comfortable. |
