Summary
Ohio State has a roster basically every other college football team covets. But that doesn't mean it's a finished product. Not at all.
So should the Buckeyes pursue a transfer at ... say ... cornerback? Should they pursue an elite tight end now available?
Duane Long is here to let you know when it's right to take a transfer ... and when it's time to pass. Several high-profile exits prompted this chat.
We also do a deep dive on Mater Dei wide receiver C.J. Williams, the California star with an offer list that halts traffic.
Spend 5ish with us this a.m, 'Nutters!

| 0:00.0 | Good morning buck nutters, it is Tuesday, March 2nd 2021, I am Dan Rubin, this is the |
| 0:27.0 | buck nutters morning 5 and change, if it is Tuesday that can be the only one thing. We are joined by the one and only |
| 0:32.4 | Dwayne Long Dwayne, it is a beautiful day out. The sun, I think we finally broke through, |
| 0:43.1 | you know, when it was pretty good for a while, they were in it to tail in, man, snow, cold, |
| 0:48.8 | but I think we're headed for an early spring here and I couldn't be happy about it and you're |
| 0:53.1 | right, it is absolutely blue and clear sky and sun this part in this part of the country. |
| 0:59.2 | Clear skies or whatever one wants, when you transfer, that's what you're looking for, there are very |
| 1:05.2 | high profile names on the transfer market, not to say that Ohio State is going to go after them, |
| 1:09.8 | but we want to discuss this thing, kind of get a vibe from Dwayne and what he sees as a good |
| 1:14.4 | transfer and what he sees as a questionable transfer. The two names everyone is banding about |
| 1:20.4 | Darian Kendrick starting corner for Clemson, who is, I'm not even sure if he's in the portal yet, |
| 1:25.1 | but he has left the program, then the most high profile transfer will be Eric Gilbert, the all-world |
| 1:31.0 | tight end from LSU who's apparently at Florida for a minute and will be choosing another destination. |
| 1:37.6 | First, would you like to make a play for either of these players? Obviously Gilbert is not at a |
| 1:44.0 | position of need in tight end. Kendrick, however, is, at corner, regardless of what's really going |
| 1:49.9 | on individually, would you like to see Ohio stay and make a play for either, both or neither? |
| 1:56.1 | Gilbert, he's just, you got to look at his film and think, what planet was this guy born on? |
| 2:04.2 | As humans don't move like that at that size, he is an incredible true freak of nature. |
| 2:12.9 | He's young. I mean, we got to think about where our tight end situation is right now. |
| 2:18.8 | We're going to lose Jeremy Rucker and do we have another kid that can bring that? I don't know if |
| 2:26.8 | we've got that in the program right now. I don't know if we've got anything like that and certainly |
| 2:32.0 | we don't have anything like what Gilbert would bring to the to the table. There just seems to be |
