'How ya like me now' (defensive recruiting on fire for Buckeyes)

We are not sure if Larry Johnson is a big Kool Moe Dee fan, but regardless, he must be rhetorically asking all of his doubters "How ya like me now?" On Sunday, Ohio State landed 5-star defensive tackle Justin Scott from Chicago. The 6-foot-4, 310-pound Scott is ranked as the No. 4 defensive lineman and the No. 21 overall recruit in the country in the 2024 class, per the 247Sports Composite. It was a great get for Johnson and the Buckeyes. (And to be clear, several staff members assisted in the recruitment.) But the good news likely will not stop there for the Buckeyes in terms of defensive line recruiting. 5-star edge rusher Dylan Stewart was Crystal Balled to OSU by Steve Wiltfong and Brian Dohn on Sunday. The 6-foot-5, 235-pound Stewart is the No. 3 edge and No. 13 overall prospect in the 2024 class according to the Composite. And we of course cannot forget that 5-star defensive lineman Eddrick Houston has been Crystal Balled to the Buckeyes by Wiltfong and Bill Kurelic for a few weeks. If a recruit has a Fong Bomb and a Dean Bomb, you know what time it is. The Buckeyes still have the No. 2 class in the country for 2024, but now they have the highest average player rating in the country at 93.7. Georgia has the No. 1 class in terms of overall points, but the Bulldogs' average player rating is a bit lower than OSU's at 93.2. Dave Biddle flies solo on today's show to discuss all of that and more. That is coming your way on the Monday 5ish.
