| 0:00.0 | Good morning Buccnitters, it is Thursday, February 18th, 2021, I am Dan Rubin, this is |
| 0:29.6 | the Buccnitters morning five and change. Yes, Dave Biddle is still on vacation, but we're back into our routine for a Thursday. |
| 0:37.4 | That means 24, 7 sports director of recruiting Steve Wolfong is back from his vacation. Steve, are you |
| 0:45.9 | tanned, rested, and relaxed? |
| 0:48.8 | It was a staycation here in Zion, Zillianna, snow was falling, had fun outside, drank some bourbon, but back at work on Sunday for the |
| 0:59.9 | best of the Midwest Combine, if that downhill ever since. |
| 1:03.1 | We will start with that then, the best of the Midwest Combine, at least they sent you back to work in your back yard, and once again the story was |
| 1:10.7 | Keonte Goodwin, he is continuing on one of the more impressive body reformations anyone's ever seen. |
| 1:17.7 | Wasn't supposed to work out through his gear on and went up against Popeye Williams and was impressive. |

| 2:03.8 | The Keonte Goodwin, but it's still Ohio State. They're still the bar. |
| 2:07.2 | Quinn Ewer, CJ Hicks, hitting him hard from a recruit front, and then you have Ryan Day and Coach |
| 2:12.4 | Stud hitting him hard on the coaching staff front, and I like where the fuck I stand. He's got family and |
| 2:17.8 | Columbus, and they're still the one to beat. Were you surprised that he opted on playing at the end when he was |
| 2:26.0 | really just supposed to chill the whole time? No, he loves competing. He was in the building. He got the |
| 2:31.2 | H to go. He's one of those guys. If a football's in the air, he's not going to be comfortable just |
| 2:37.4 | watching. He likes to compete. He likes to play. All he does is really work out. At first, |
