Summary

The sports world is on hiatus for now, but nothing is slowing down Ohio State's football recruiting momentum. Bill "Bank" Greene joins Dave Biddle for today's show to discuss the Buckeyes landing high 4-star cornerback Jakailin Johnson on Sunday. That gives OSU 11 commitments in its 2021 class, which is ranked as the No. 1 class in the nation according to the 247Sports Composite. Also on the docket: * Is today going to be another big recruiting day for the Buckeyes? Perhaps even bigger than Sunday? * What is the latest with corner recruit Devonta Smith and running back recruit Evan Pryor? * Running back Trey Sermon is transferring from Oklahoma and will be eligible immediately as a senior in 2021. Bank has put in a Crystal Ball pick for the Buckeyes to land Serman. Even coming off a torn ACL, is Sermon-to-Ohio State a perfect fit for both sides? All of that and more is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.
