All that, video from this past weekend of Ohio linebackers C.J. Sanna (Ohio State commitment) and Ja'Dyn Williams (Indiana commitment ... for now). Not enough?

Ohio State is stable. The defending national champions are ranked No. 1. Quite attractive as a destination, wouldn't you say? There are other, less stable programs garnering interest, among them Penn State, LSU and Florida. By that we mean, many prospects committed to those headless operations have prospects attracting another wave of interest. That interest is coming from stable programs like Ohio State. Defensive backs coach Tim Walton was on the road seeing a committed Gator on Friday night. Garrick Hodge and Mark Porter are here and we dive deep on that. Speaking of Penn State, the Nits come to Columbus this weekend and there are on-field and recruiting implications to discuss.  Considering we also spent quality time answering questions from our LIVE chatters, this is one of those shows you don't want to miss.

When Ohio State hosted Ja'Dyn Williams for the Ohio game 10 days ago, many felt the Indiana commitment would receive the coveted Ohio State offer shortly thereafter. Maybe it depends on your definition of 'shortly thereafter' but that offer came yesterday. Our Garrick Hodge had the story you can read HERE. Now what? Will Williams flip? Where would he be utilized as a Buckeye? There's no better source on this than Mark Porter and The Grand Poobah hogs the spotlight all show long ... thankfully. We also dive deep on new commitment Angelo Smith. Accepted because of his older brother (see: Jeremiah)?  No. Angelo Smith earned his spot. We have the video to prove it.

Ohio State is theoretically in the mix for all three.

We peek at the burgeoning guest list while acknowledging some challenges in building attendance. * There is 300-plus pound prospect from Texas the Buckeyes have offered that boasts Ohio ties.

Could we interest you in the nation's top linebacker? How about the nation's second-ranked linebacker? Would you be OK if both became Buckeyes? Start getting OK ... maybe. Georgia native Xavier Griffin (No. 1 LB per 247Sports) de-committed from USC and will visit Ohio State. Georgia native Tyler Atkinson (No. 2 LB) is also a hot Buckeyes target. Feel free to dream about adding the top two linebackers and top two defensive backs (Blaine Bradford and Braylon Womack). Dreaming is free. The prospects won't be.  Bill Kurelic is here to get you completely caught up on recruiting targets, who is visiting and who Ohio State coaches are on the road checking out. That would be enough for a regular show. NOT THIS ONE! Mark Porter reports from the road - literally - after spending quality time at Akron Hoban with future Ohio State OL Sam Greer, the Feister brothers and more. Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

Ohio State is getting it done in New Jersey. The Garden State used to be Penn State's recruiting playground. No longer.  The Buckeyes will have Jersey natives Davison Igbinosun, Jaylen McClain, De'Zie Jones, Quincy Porter, Deshawn Stewart and Tyrone Malone on the roster.  Another Jersey guy - Class of 2026 defensive back Jordan Thomas - verbally committed to Ohio State on Monday. We break it all down with Bill Kurelic and Mark Porter. We also delve into the offer for Jett Washington, Ohioans that could earn an offer and how QB is looking for the Class of 2026.

The Dean. The Grand Poobah. On the road. Same destination.

We also dive deep on two Glenville possibilities as Mark travels to spend his day at Pipeline High. All that plus a huge (possible) commitment coming on Monday.
