The

The Good morning Bucknutter.

It is Thursday, April 16th, 2026.

I am Dan Rubin.

This is the Bucknuts Morning 5 and Change.

Got the gang back together now hitting our stride,

Garrick Hodge, Mark Porter. Big weekend for your Buckeyes. The spring game. We can have a

discussion at some point as to how valuable the spring game is for evaluation, but it is a fun experience

for all involved. You're going to get to see

everybody in jerseys. You're not going to see anyone who makes a certain amount of money

get tackled, probably. But we will have a bunch of recruits here for this. You want to talk about

a big weekend on the recruiting scene. It's always the spring game.

So something we're definitely going to check out, and Garrett's going to get you completely ready for that.

And Mark, of course, has another great video for you later today. Wonderful champ Mons.

If for no other reason, his parents have earned him some coverage based on the name,

named him wonderful, nicknamed him champ. I cannot stop. Every time it comes up, I feel like

we talk about it. I'm still impressed. However, we do need to hit the events of the day.

And there's some Crouton to talk about, namely there's a couple Buckeyes,

Buckeye targets, heavy Buckeye recruiting targets that are going to make their college preferences known.

One is Jimmy Kales, offensive linemen.

One is Mackay Brown, a defensive end.

Garrick, can you please lead us into these two commitments, who they are,
