The And the Good morning bucknoters.

Welcome to the bucknotes morning five here on Wednesday.

January 31st, 2024.

I am Dave Biddle Flying Solo on today's show.

Final day of January, I don't want to see January end.

This has been a fantastic month for Ohio State.

I mean, we would have drawn up the script like this they would have ripped it up and said

this is the most ridiculous thing we've ever seen there's no way that all of this good stuff is going to happen

but it happened and then yesterday we got a chance the local media did the Ohio State beat got a chance to meet this very impressive five man transfer class. They don't consider Julian saying a transfer even though the recruiting sites consider him a transfer consider

a transfer even though the recruiting sites consider him a transfer because he technically is because he enrolled at Bama was there for a couple weeks and then

transferred to Ohio State Ohio State. Ohio State considers him just a part of their 2024 class so they brought out the five transfers and what an impressive group of guys

We're gonna talk individually about all of them what to expect and all that good stuff so welcome into the show it's going to be a fun one because that was something that came up kind of at the last minute I'm sure that they had been planning on doing something like that Ohio State was but as far as us in the media we got notification the day

before that this is happening tomorrow 9 a.m. You might want to clear your

schedules, you know a little bit look behind the curtain that's how Ohio State operates.

I don't give you a with stuff like this a lot of heads up.

It's like you have the opportunity to come down here and interview the interview these guys if you

want if you don't want to we don't care.. But I also think in all seriousness, I think that's yesterday was really good PR for Ohio State. You know, I mean just, and again, I'm gonna get I'm gonna talk about each of these guys individually just the quality of players that they got with these five and then the type of young men that they are I mean this is I could not be more impressed.

Could not be more impressed.

All right, so what are expectations for each of these guys in 2024?

Let's start right at the top, I guess you can say right, Caleb Downs Downs or Will Howard one of those two is the most

important one because Caleb Downs is certainly by any metric you know the higher rated

player there's no doubt about it and I absolutely love him
