BIA is providing instant access based on the news that was just dropped by Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports as it appears that Ohio State class of 2022 commit Quinn Ewers is thinking about being a class of 2021 quarterback commit and enroll early and take advantage of Name, Image, Likeness, something that he could not do as a Texas high schooler. Check out Kevin Noon and Joseph Hastings as they drop their way too early thoughts on this, just minutes after the report dropped.

BIA Ep. 92 - Ewers To Enroll Early?

Ohio State Buckeyes Recruiting had a busy week over the past seven days with three major commits including the huge news with JT Tuimoloau, finally ending his recruitment well into overtime after pledging to Ohio State. Couple that with a pair of ’22 stars with Terrance Brooks and Kojo Antwi and it was a productive run for Ryan Day and staff, but July promises more fireworks and we are here to talk about them. What is Ohio State getting in its trio of talented players? Who could be on the cusp? And why should Kevin Noon take more vacations? We will explain that and a whole lot more on your one-stop for all things Buckeyes Recruiting here on the BIA Podcast. Joseph Hastings joins Kevin Noon here on the Wednesday edition for all the latest from the world of recruiting.

BIA Ep. 91 – Quite The Run; Stay Away Noon

It's been a long time in the making but Ohio State has its guy in JT Tuimoloau. We go to the breaking airwaves with our thoughts on this huge news.

BIA Extra- JTT To TOSU

Ohio State Buckeyes Recruiting is not just about football as the men’s basketball team has been very busy with a lot of official visits as well as spreading a good number of offers out there. What is Chris Holtmann’s team up to? We bring in Jake Spegal to join Kevin Noon on the BIA Podcast to talk about all of the latest. Plus, the Buckeyes have a new assistant coach in Tony Skinn, what does that mean on the trail? We talk about that. And will Ohio State get its elusive big-man in the class of 2022? We put special focus on that as well.

BIA Ep. 90 – Don’t Forget About Basketball

The Friday news dump is real as it was reported by Brandon Huffman that class of 2021 defensive line target JT Tuimoloau is ready to shut things down, not taking an official visit to Alabama and will consider a group of four schools that includes Ohio State. Tuimoloau, a five-star out of the state of Washington has not been one to do many interviews so the news of him coming out and changing his plans is a big deal and got us ready to jump out and do a podcast to put things into perspective. Now, we are not sure where JTT is going. We feel that JTT may not even be sure where he is going. Does this mean that Ohio State, the favorite going into the visits is still the favorite? Does Oregon, the school that received the last visit is the favorite? Or is it Washington? Or USC? We are not sure, but we talk about it at length as we try and sort things out with you on this recruitment. Plus, Ohio State is going into its final visit weekend of the month, we talk about that and more. Has this been a successful month on the recruiting trail? Are you underwhelmed? Did they overperform? There is still almost a week to go, but we talk about that as well.

BIA Ep. 89 – JTT Ready To Shut Things Down

It is a big week for Ohio State football recruiting with the Rivals Five-Star Challenge taking place in Atlanta while Ohio State had had a pair of football camps take place this week, a big official visit weekend is taking place for the class of 2022, and oh yeah, a big 2021 prospect is starting his official visit weekend as well, it’s JT Tuimoloau, for those who are not keeping track. So much going on, so much to talk about, and things are evolving by the second. That is why we have the BuckeyeGrove Instant Access podcast here, to try and wrap a few things up, at least for the moment as we just don’t know what is in store at the next twist and/or turn. Join Kevin Noon from Ohio and Joseph Hastings who is in Atlanta as we try and bring a little clarity as to what is going on with everything on the recruiting front. And if you are not a member, why not? Take advantage of our excellent free trial promo and don’t miss a thing.

BIA Ep. 88 – Visits, Multi - Front Recruiting & More

Could we be seeing the end of the four-team College Football Playoff in favor of a 12-team expanded playoff? That movement took a huge step forward on Thursday as a subcommittee of the CFP recommended a move from four to 12 teams, but there is a long way to go before we will see anything different in terms of how college football crowns a champion. We are breaking down the proposal with our immediate reactions to what we have seen, who would be in, who would be off, who would play four games and who would play three. Where would games be played? And when? We have some ideas on how that would be sorted out. And is this just too much football to ask these players to take part in? We go into that as well.

Breaking news as Ohio State announces that football tickets are going on sale, hope to have a full stadium, vaccinations still strongly encouraged. STORY: https://ohiostate.rivals.com/news/smith-hopeful-for-full-capacity-seating-as-ohio-state-releases-ticket-info

BIA Ep. 86 – BREAKING- Football Tickets On Sale; Hope For Full Stadium

If you are a regular listener to the BIA Podcast, you know that June is going to be a huge month in terms of determining the future of the Ohio State program. That is not to take anything away from what Ohio State has done thus far in recruiting for the class of 2022 or in any other class. But it we are being honest, there will not be another month on any recruiting calendar that will see more recruits on campus in an official capacity along with camps running concurrently. On Friday, Ohio State made Mark Pantoni and Erin Dunston both available to talk about what this month is going to look like, what it means and a whole lot more. They spoke to the local media for almost 40 minutes and we know you just want to high points here on the BIA Podcast. That is why we have four or five of our favorite quotes and we break down our thoughts on what they mean.

BIA Ep. 85 – The Ins - And - Out For June

A lot happening as we close out the month of May. Early football lines are coming out as the South Point Casino has dropped its games of the year and the Buckeyes are in four of those games and none of those lines are closer than 10 points. Ohio State is a 13-point favorite over Oregon, Indiana and Michigan and a 12-point favorite over Penn State. Is that right, too much, too little? We talk that and also talk about upcoming series OOC for years to come. Plus, NIL legislation is in the Ohio senate and it means a lot to schools like Ohio State and across the state. Join Kevin Noon and Griffin Strom as we talk about NIL, lines and a whole lot more.

BIA Ep. 84 – Big Lines, Big Goals; Ohio Enters NIL Realm

The biggest month of Ohio State recruiting for this cycle is almost here with the NCAA allowing things to open up come June 1st and Ohio State has some epic recruiting weekends set up for the following several weeks. Commits, targets and just about everybody in the recruiting world will either be on campus or paying attention to what is happening with the Ohio State recruiting front. That means it is time to do one of our recruiting-only shows to try and put some things into perspective and that means that Joseph Hastings is joining Kevin Noon on the big show to talk mostly about the class of 2022 but also touch upon what is going on with 2023, a class that cannot officially visit but will be just as much in focus for the next several weeks.

BIA Ep. 83 - June Crootin'

BuckeyeGrove Instant Access (BIA) puts the linebackers in focus with a show dedicated 100-percent to the position. We are not asked about any other position going into the 2021 season than the LBs, where Ohio State loses its top four statistical linebackers from 2020. What is the future of the position and does a promised move to a “bullet” position change what the Buckeyes need and have to accomplish their goals? Who steps up from the current room, a room that is long on talent if short on experience? Plus, we talk the transfer portal as the rumors have moved off of one name and firmly on to another one as players are moving from one team to another. All of that and a whole lot more in this episode of the BIA. Don’t miss an episode.

BIA Ep. 82 - Putting On The LBs

We have let the dust settle for a couple of weeks since the conclusion of the Ohio State spring practice window for football as Ryan Day’s squad had a chance to go through a full 15-practice regiment for the first time since 2019. With limited media access, a spring game that employed a ‘thud’ system of tackling and just the general nature of spring practice in general, it is not always easy to come out of March and April knowing what a team is going to be made of come September when the season starts but we have some good ideas and the overriding theme should be that the Buckeyes should be considered a heavy favorite in not only the Big Ten but also for making the four-team College Football Playoff field once again. Join Kevin Noon and Griffin Strom as they talk about the spring practice period that was, talk about several key positional groups and give their opinions on what we are not talking about enough now that we are in May.

BIA Ep. 81 – Spring Forward

The 2021 NFL Draft is in the books and double-digit Buckeyes heard their names called including first-rounder Justin Fields. But it was not without its own drama for each and every player as some players slid a little further than expected, some came off the board quicker than expected and the real debate now rages over who had the best draft and who made good and bad decisions. We are talking about the recently completed draft in this edition of the BIA (BuckeyeGrove Instant Access) podcast as Kevin Noon and Griffin Strom look back at the seven rounds of action that saw dreams come true for 10 former Buckeyes. Plus, we are talking about the 2022 draft, and while that is still 350-plus days away, never too soon to start up that hype machine.
