The NCAA-mandated dead period in recruiting has lasted half a year, with no obvious end in sight.

With Early Signing Day now just four months away, it has thrown the traditional recruiting cycle into total chaos.

Buckeye Scoop recruiting analyst Bill Greene joins host Tom Orr to break down the impact that dead period could have on both the national level, and also Ohio State's 2021 class in particular.

Which 5-star prospect are the Buckeyes still in good shape with, even if they can't get him back on campus before Signing Day? And which 5-star is as good as gone without another visit?

Bill breaks that down, plus a preview of some Week 1 action in Ohio High School football that the guys are clearly very excited to see.
