Summary
It's that time of year again. Mark Porter has let his family and those close to him know: "I'm busy."
That's because it is 'Showcase Season' in Ohio. High school football fields across the state are filled with college-hopeful prospects, college coaches who share the same hope ... and Mark.
We open the show with Mark - from the road in a car with a new right rear tire - letting you know the gauntlet he's attacking and who he's already seen. You will be impressed.
Then, Garrick Hodge and Dan Rubin try and put it all in perspective including deep dives on quarterback and defensive end recruiting.
Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!
