Summary

The Front Row has questions.

247Sports Director of Recruiting Steve Wiltfong has answers.

Boom ... that's a show.

Bucknutters submitted excellent queries for Wiltfong and we got to most of them. Among them:

* Kyle McCord vs. JJ McCarthy

* With Bijan Robinson out, where could Buckeyes turn?

* How much does character figure into 247Sports prospect evaluations?

* Have you ever seen a site meltdown similar to the one we just experienced?

* Can you name a prospect that has surprised you in a camp setting?

All that and more is ready for consumption.

Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!
