The Good morning Bucknotters. Welcome to the Bucknuts Morning 5 here on Tuesday, November 11th, 2025.

I am Dave Biddle. I'm joined by Garrick Hodge and the Grand Poo-Baw, Mark Porter.

So much good stuff to get into. Garik, it's been a crazy run for the Buckeyes starting last Thursday, as you were saying, as soon as you guys got off the air with Dan Rubin, the avalanche started, began with J. Timmons flipping from Florida State to Ohio State the four-star corner. Very next day, Mason Wilhelm, Matt Wilhelm's son, offensive lineman. He commits to the Buckeyes. Sunday, I love this one. I mean, I love them all, but Emmanuel Ruff in the D-Tackle, he commits to the Buckeyes. And then yesterday they flipped Legend Bay from the University of Tennessee. What a crazy run. Let's start with Jay Tim, is your thoughts on the Buckeyes getting him. Yeah, just taking a 30,000-foot view for a second. When we ended the show on Thursday, I kind of sat in my chair and just had a reflection of myself. I was like, I felt like I was a little too much of a sunshine pumper, even though that's where all the vibes were headed. We talked about countless flip targets that Ohio State was pursuing, and I'm like, I just said nothing but flower things about Ohio State's chances of landing all of them. And I mean, in fair, it's not like I was blowing smoke up here, guys, but that's how the vibes truly were at the time. But I was like, oh, man, when everything's always positive, something ends up happening that doesn't usually reflect that, right?

Well, not in this scenario.

Since we got off the show last time, Ohio State has landed three flips.

And the first one, a couple hours after we were done recording, Jay Timmons, Florida State legacy, doesn't matter.

He's coming to Ohio State, son of Florida State, great, and NFL standout, Lawrence Timmons.

I really liked him a lot. He is a 5'11, 185-pound corner from Pennsylvania.

There's some questions, whether he'll play outside or kind of be that nickel corner or in the slot. I think he's more of a nickel myself,

but this is a really locked down corner with great coverage abilities. Ohio State really needed

to add to their 2026 class at corner. They only had Jordan Thomas committed

before Jay Timmons entered the poll. And Ohio State knew that they had to be aggressive. They

certainly were. And give Jay a lot of credit. I mean, things aren't going very well at Florida

State right now. And Jay is a very competitive person. He wants to be around a winning culture.

He wants to be a place where he's going to be developed and honed to the best of his ability.

And I think he found the perfect match in Ohio State.

And honestly, after that visit, he spoke glowingly about them.

And I'm not surprised that this clip ultimately got done.

It is special season.

That is exactly right.

And Mason Wilhelm, Mark, obviously, the son of Matt Wilhelm, who had a tremendous year in 2002,
