WEBVTT - Construction Zone!

0:00:02.040 --> 0:00:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to the solid verbal.

0:00:04.880 --> 0:00:08.160
<v Speaker 2>I'm that for me. I'm a man, I'm forty.

0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:10.119
<v Speaker 1>I've heard so many players say, well, I want to

0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:10.680
<v Speaker 1>be happy.

0:00:10.800 --> 0:00:13.680
<v Speaker 2>You want to be happy for day Edith State is that?

0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:16.280
<v Speaker 2>Whoo whoom and Dan.

0:00:16.360 --> 0:00:21.880
<v Speaker 1>And tie welcome back to the solid verbe boys and girls.

0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:25.279
<v Speaker 1>My name is ty Hildebrant, joining me as always over

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:28.440
<v Speaker 1>there in beautiful New York City, the one, the only.

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:30.320
<v Speaker 1>To Andrew Rubinstein, sir, how are you?

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:34.559
<v Speaker 2>I'm outstanding, Ty, I am. I wouldn't go as far

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:39.880
<v Speaker 2>as saying reinvigorated. But today is not only National Signing Day,

0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.440
<v Speaker 2>maybe the late signing day. I don't think we should

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 2>be calling the first one the early one. Maybe that's

0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:48.640
<v Speaker 2>just signing day in today's straggler signing day. But I

0:00:48.680 --> 0:00:50.559
<v Speaker 2>feel pretty great. I mean, there's a lot in the

0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:54.080
<v Speaker 2>news to discuss. There's a lot of big picture recruiting

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:56.800
<v Speaker 2>stuff to discuss. How that relates to maybe some new hires,

0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 2>maybe what programs are looking like for spring, summer, fall,

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 2>or I don't know, I'm feeling a jolt. How about you?

0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I am feeling a little bit of a jolt as well.

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:07.440
<v Speaker 1>To be perfectly honest with you, as you know, if

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>you've been listening to The Solid Verbal for any period

0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 1>of time, we're going to be with you all off

0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:13.920
<v Speaker 1>season long. Just because there aren't games doesn't mean there's

0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 1>not going to be a podcast. As you said, there

0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:18.959
<v Speaker 1>is a lot to discuss today. We're going to talk

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:22.120
<v Speaker 1>through a bunch of Signing Day storylines and some other

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:25.040
<v Speaker 1>storylines that have popped up seemingly out of nowhere here

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.119
<v Speaker 1>in and around the world of college football. Don't forget though,

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:30.600

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:09.799
<v Speaker 1>the main purpose for that newsletter is to give our

<v Speaker 1>subscribers early as early as we can alerts on when

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.520
<v Speaker 1>we're going to be doing live shows and where, which,

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:21.079
<v Speaker 1>by the way, we have started planning out far, far

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>earlier than we did last year, so we will have

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>announcement sooner this season.

0:02:25.880 --> 0:02:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Can I throw a strong verballer ephis real quick?

0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Please?

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:33.000
<v Speaker 2>You say, if you're a strong forballer, subscribe to the newsletter.

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:35.040
<v Speaker 2>All of that is true. I'm gonna say, if you

0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 2>want to be the strongest verballer, go to your local mall,

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 2>find an Apple or a Windows store and subscribe all

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:42.919
<v Speaker 2>of those computers.

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Good call?

0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Do that? Good call? I think the algorithm loves that.

0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it may also be illegal, but who's keeping tracking it? Right,

0:02:52.880 --> 0:03:02.120
<v Speaker 1>Shani ignorance, ignorance, We do have some bread. How about

0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:07.520
<v Speaker 1>this news yesterday? Yeah, about the Michigan State coaching situation,

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:13.640
<v Speaker 1>Mark D'Antonio stepping down. Okay, that's a bit of a development.

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Somebody alerted us out there on the Twitter sphere that

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:20.560
<v Speaker 1>we had mentioned this maybe in the preseason, that it

0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 1>could end this way. I don't think we saw it

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.640
<v Speaker 1>ending quite this way, certainly not at this juncture in

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 1>early February, which is not at all the template. But

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:33.760
<v Speaker 1>now Michigan State very quickly trying to hunt down a

0:03:33.800 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>new head football coach. I saw some names mentioned, most

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 1>of them I thought were very bad ideas, and now

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 1>here we are where they're they're left having to pick

0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:44.680
<v Speaker 1>up the pieces and figure out their next move.

0:03:45.400 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 2>What you have one specific name? I think Pat Shermer,

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:49.640
<v Speaker 2>formerly of the New York Giants is the bad idea

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 2>because the other names I saw have been recently pretty

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 2>successful in Matt Campbell, Pat Nardouzi, Yeah, Okay, Luke Fickle.

0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>I think Luke Fikele and Matt Campbell would be terrific.

0:04:00.120 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't think either of them want the job. If

0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I saw correctly.

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 2>Matt Campbell allegedly was approached and was not interested. Luke

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:11.000
<v Speaker 2>Fickle it's less clear. It may take a lot of

0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.000
<v Speaker 2>cash to get Luke Fickle, but he's got a good

0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 2>situation Michigan states. It's at the same time a good

0:04:17.640 --> 0:04:20.760
<v Speaker 2>job with the absolute right dude, with the right timing,

0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 2>as I think Mark D'Antonio was good enough to take

0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:26.760
<v Speaker 2>advantage of, especially in that twenty thirteen fourteen to fifteen zone.

0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 2>But also that's a tough division with Penn State. As

0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 2>talented as they are, obviously, Michigan Ohio State are going

0:04:32.600 --> 0:04:36.560
<v Speaker 2>to be incredibly tough outs moving forward. That's a tough ask.

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 2>Still a good job, but yeah, yeah, interesting timing. I mean,

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 2>there's never really great timing. And you know, there's always

0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 2>speculation that sometimes coaches do this so that they have

0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.680
<v Speaker 2>to give the interim tag to their chosen coordinator or

0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:52.160
<v Speaker 2>favored assistant. In this case, I think it's the defensive

0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:56.799
<v Speaker 2>coordinator Tressel for Michigan State. He's the interim as of now,

0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:01.360
<v Speaker 2>and we'll see what happens moving forward. He collected a

0:05:01.400 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 2>four point three million dollar retention bonus based on a

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:07.840
<v Speaker 2>contract he signed a while ago. He collected that bonus

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:11.359
<v Speaker 2>January fifteenth. I want to say, can't blame him for

0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 2>waiting to take that bonus. It's never gonna look the best,

0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:17.360
<v Speaker 2>but nothing ever really does when you step down. And

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:23.279
<v Speaker 2>there's there's some smoke around this ongoing situation, a legal

0:05:23.320 --> 0:05:26.800
<v Speaker 2>situation with a former staffer, Curtis Blackwell at Michigan State,

0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:30.360
<v Speaker 2>and D'Antonio and his outgoing presser said it has nothing

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:34.719
<v Speaker 2>to do with you know, potential NCAA type accusations. Who knows,

0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:39.240
<v Speaker 2>but that's that's Stantonio's word, and so we'll see potentially

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.880
<v Speaker 2>a very good job. Michigan State reached very high heights,

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:46.760
<v Speaker 2>even low heights in the playoff appearance they made against Alabama,

0:05:47.320 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 2>but an interesting job, nonetheless, because that is a division

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 2>that plays a lot of huge games.

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:56.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't like the Nardoozi move. I know he was

0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:59.720
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a cult hero there because of his defenses,

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>but I haven't seen anything at Pitt that leads me

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:04.919
<v Speaker 1>to believe that Michigan State would get anything other than

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>what they just had. And I think they do need

0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:09.479
<v Speaker 1>to take a step in a different direction because the

0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 1>offense has been stagnant and Nardoozi doesn't inspire me in

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 1>that respect. The Pat Shermer one is the one that,

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:22.279
<v Speaker 1>as a recently aggrieved New York Giants fan, right, does

0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:23.880
<v Speaker 1>not make any sense to me. I know there's a

0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.360
<v Speaker 1>bit of a tie there, and maybe Pat Shermer has

0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.680
<v Speaker 1>played at the highest, most elite levels of the National

0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Football League, but dude, if you can't get the ball

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:36.359
<v Speaker 1>the Saquon Barkley, that does not inspire me either. So

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.040
<v Speaker 1>I hope for their sake they go in a different direction.

0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.359
<v Speaker 1>Because neither one of those guys, to me, stirs it.

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:41.920
<v Speaker 1>It just doesn't go.

0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:44.960
<v Speaker 2>I might be a little inspired by Jim McLaine in

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.520
<v Speaker 2>the turnaround job he did in year one right there,

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:48.080
<v Speaker 2>same state.

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 1>He's familiar with the area.

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I could deal with that Michigan the year before

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Central Michigan. Now let me Yeah.

0:06:54.880 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean the two that stuck in my crawl were

0:06:56.400 --> 0:07:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Nardoozi and to a much greater degree. But you can

0:07:01.520 --> 0:07:02.680
<v Speaker 1>have a case for Macklewaine.

0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.680
<v Speaker 2>You have an anti pat bias right now, I.

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:06.279
<v Speaker 1>Do I do.

0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 2>The other somewhat large bit of coaching news. I don't

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:12.920
<v Speaker 2>know how much we just did. We discuss this last

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:17.480
<v Speaker 2>week Bo Polini to LSU maybe in passing. In passing

0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:21.960
<v Speaker 2>so he joins uh the LSU coaching staff. There hasn't

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:26.240
<v Speaker 2>been too too much in the way of coaching carousel stuff.

0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:28.720
<v Speaker 2>I saw Joe moorehead was introduced into the media for

0:07:28.760 --> 0:07:32.680
<v Speaker 2>the first time today as Oregon's new offensive coordinator. I'm

0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:34.360
<v Speaker 2>pretty excited about that. TI. I don't know if we've

0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 2>had a chance to discuss that, because I talked coaching

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 2>carousel stuff with Andy Stables a couple weeks ago.

0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I think the last time we broached the subject, it

0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 1>was still kind of an outside possibility, but maybe he

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.840
<v Speaker 1>was playing foot Sea's a bit with Oregon as potentially

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:52.560
<v Speaker 1>his next stop. Are you excited about the move?

0:07:53.000 --> 0:07:56.800
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, one hundred percent, absolutely excited. It's a much needed

0:07:57.680 --> 0:08:00.800
<v Speaker 2>boost of creativity to me seeing what he was able

0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 2>to do as an offensive coordinator at Penn State, and

0:08:03.480 --> 0:08:05.840
<v Speaker 2>I understand some of the issues at Mississippi State. I

0:08:05.880 --> 0:08:10.640
<v Speaker 2>don't know if it was necessarily an offensive creativity issue,

0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.760
<v Speaker 2>and as much as it was, quarterbacks didn't seem great slashed,

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:16.720
<v Speaker 2>very green, and it seemed to be some interpersonal locker

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.520
<v Speaker 2>room issues there at the end. The defense certainly took

0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 2>a huge step back, especially against the past, and maybe

0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:24.520
<v Speaker 2>we'll get into that some more as we talk about

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 2>signing day. But I am very excited by that. And

0:08:26.960 --> 0:08:31.040
<v Speaker 2>you have formerly Tommy, then tom back to Tommy, now

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.600
<v Speaker 2>meet Thomas Reese calling the offense at Notre Dame.

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:37.200
<v Speaker 1>Well, we almost did an emerger pot to talk about

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.960
<v Speaker 1>the Tom to Tommy reconversion, which I'm very excited about.

0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:44.080
<v Speaker 1>And we will clearly get a lot of mileage out

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.960
<v Speaker 1>of whether we stick with Tommy or decide to go

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.160
<v Speaker 1>very very formal with the Thomas. I don't know if

0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:52.319
<v Speaker 1>we've settled on that internally yet.

0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:56.400
<v Speaker 2>Did you see who ASU now will have calling, or

0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 2>at least co calling their defense.

0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.400
<v Speaker 1>I did catch wind of Marvin Glue with Dan.

0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:06.280
<v Speaker 2>Yes, Syracuse hires away Tony White running the three three

0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 2>five for ASU, and it's Marvin Lewis Antonio Pierce co

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 2>defensive coordinators for Arizona State. And I know we're going

0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:16.520
<v Speaker 2>to talk some more ASU later, but man Herm Edwards,

0:09:16.520 --> 0:09:19.920
<v Speaker 2>Marvin lewis there, it is there, it is the Arizona

0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:23.679
<v Speaker 2>can make this stuff up, all right, let's good. I

0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:25.800
<v Speaker 2>like it. I like big names, recognizable faces.

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.320
<v Speaker 1>We can get into some other tidbits here as we

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:31.840
<v Speaker 1>go through, Yeah, and talk about what's going on on

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.880
<v Speaker 1>signing day, Dan and Tiger. You're up for National Signing

0:09:36.000 --> 0:09:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Day twenty twenty signing Dan, Yeah, Trs are out and about.

0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 1>They're trying to construct.

0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Hence what you're hearing underneath tie.

0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:54.680
<v Speaker 1>Yes, trying to construct their their next rendition. We have,

0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:57.599
<v Speaker 1>as per usual, try to put a little bit of

0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:01.800
<v Speaker 1>a creative spin on this, so it'd be very easy

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 1>and not that novel to go through the top ten

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:09.280
<v Speaker 1>classes the top twenty five classes and talk about some

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:13.840
<v Speaker 1>of the highlights, the low lights, surprises, late gainers, that

0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.440
<v Speaker 1>sort of thing. Instead, we're trying to look at it

0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:18.760
<v Speaker 1>from a little bit more of a holistic approach. Now,

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.800
<v Speaker 1>we already did an interview back in December, you did

0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 1>an interview with our friend Brandon Hoffman in which you

0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:28.720
<v Speaker 1>guys talk specifically about some of the tactics, some of

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.520
<v Speaker 1>the strategies, some of the names to watch now as

0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 1>we move forward. But recently, as you know if you

0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:38.040
<v Speaker 1>follow college football, they changed up the timing. This signing day,

0:10:38.280 --> 0:10:40.520
<v Speaker 1>the one that we're accustomed to making a big deal

0:10:40.559 --> 0:10:43.720
<v Speaker 1>about in February as of like two or three years ago,

0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:46.480
<v Speaker 1>is no longer quite what it used to be. This

0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:50.160
<v Speaker 1>is kind of like the second signing day period. Where

0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:51.760
<v Speaker 1>we're at now is most of the big names of

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:54.120
<v Speaker 1>sign There are a couple that we're going to talk

0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:57.760
<v Speaker 1>about here that have certainly influenced rankings, and congratulations to

0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.880
<v Speaker 1>the Georgia Bulldogs on getting that number one spot this year,

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:04.479
<v Speaker 1>But it just has taken on a much much different complexion,

0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:08.480
<v Speaker 1>and from our standpoint, it's really given us, i think,

0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.439
<v Speaker 1>a better chance to digest what has going on in

0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 1>the world of recruiting. We're not sitting here looking at

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 1>this all day throughout today trying to figure out where

0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.240
<v Speaker 1>things stack up and how they fall. We've sort of

0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.720
<v Speaker 1>known for a while. Today was really just the icing

0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:25.439
<v Speaker 1>and the cherry on top, and now we can provide

0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:28.839
<v Speaker 1>some analysis and look at it in terms of that construction.

0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Is that right?

0:11:30.559 --> 0:11:32.800
<v Speaker 2>That's all sounds correct, Although when you said icing cherry,

0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:35.400
<v Speaker 2>I thought it's the hot honey on top of sizzling

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:38.760
<v Speaker 2>pizza cheese. So I believe we have six categories and

0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.720
<v Speaker 2>we are vaguely connecting them to the idea of construction.

0:11:42.120 --> 0:11:44.920
<v Speaker 2>In past off seasons, we've done scheme theme Month, we

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:47.840
<v Speaker 2>did the Two's Crews. So I think we're gonna because

0:11:48.440 --> 0:11:52.079
<v Speaker 2>college football and recruiting is largely about construction and remodeling

0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:56.839
<v Speaker 2>and renovating, maybe demolishing your program and starting things anew,

0:11:56.880 --> 0:12:00.200
<v Speaker 2>whether you have you know, termites in the floorboards, whether

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 2>you're adding a wing to your mansion, whether you are,

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:05.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, really trying to maybe have an open floor plan,

0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:07.520
<v Speaker 2>open things up, look through the window.

0:12:07.679 --> 0:12:08.079
<v Speaker 1>Tie.

0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.440
<v Speaker 2>We are going to build a house out of the

0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.400
<v Speaker 2>class of twenty twenty, and we are going to try

0:12:14.440 --> 0:12:17.800
<v Speaker 2>and hit all elements or some elements of building said,

0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:21.920
<v Speaker 2>recruiting and program, construction, house, and we can start wherever

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:23.760
<v Speaker 2>you'd like, but we have this. We were trying to

0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 2>hit more teams than just you know. Okay, Tennessee jumped

0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:28.960
<v Speaker 2>into the top ten, which they did, by the way,

0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:32.160
<v Speaker 2>they did get to Malachi today they jumped up to

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:36.040
<v Speaker 2>number ten, and Oklahoma, normally a top five seven program

0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.120
<v Speaker 2>in recruiting rankings, I think fell out of the top ten.

0:12:38.160 --> 0:12:40.920
<v Speaker 2>Oregon had a nice day, Miami had a nice day, certainly,

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:42.600
<v Speaker 2>text A and M. I think Georgia finished with the

0:12:42.640 --> 0:12:47.480
<v Speaker 2>number one class officially. Clemson put together an unbelievable class.

0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:49.880
<v Speaker 2>But these are things that I sort of discussed with

0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:54.640
<v Speaker 2>Brandon before. So let's go let's zag and talk about

0:12:54.679 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 2>the construction elements we want to hit.

0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's zag, but just for important context, if you're picking

0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:01.720
<v Speaker 1>this up midstream and you want to know, well, where

0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:05.080
<v Speaker 1>how did the top ten shakeout? Okay, we don't have

0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.959
<v Speaker 1>to focus too much on this, but Georgia, Alabama, Clemson, LSU,

0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:12.400
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State, that's your top five, followed by Texas, A

0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:13.920
<v Speaker 1>and M. A class that I want to talk about

0:13:13.960 --> 0:13:17.680
<v Speaker 1>in a little bit. Auburn did very well, Florida at eight,

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:22.800
<v Speaker 1>Texas at nine, reeling in two big name quarterbacks, and

0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.680
<v Speaker 1>as you said, Tennessee bubbling up to number ten having

0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:26.679
<v Speaker 1>themselves a nice day.

0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes, and some teams who were able to translate some

0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:36.120
<v Speaker 2>on field success into perhaps an improved And we talked

0:13:36.120 --> 0:13:38.320
<v Speaker 2>about this. I talked about this with Brandon a little

0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 2>while ago. Utah jumped up to number thirty. I would

0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.600
<v Speaker 2>imagine Baylor would have had a better class had they

0:13:43.600 --> 0:13:47.400
<v Speaker 2>not had to go through a coaching change. Virginia, which

0:13:47.480 --> 0:13:50.560
<v Speaker 2>ended up in the ACC Championship game. Not a great class,

0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:56.080
<v Speaker 2>but they finished in the top ten of the a SEC. Otherwise,

0:13:56.760 --> 0:13:58.560
<v Speaker 2>it's a lot of I mean, Wisconsin, I think had

0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.120
<v Speaker 2>a nice class, finished I think fifth and the big ten,

0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.280
<v Speaker 2>which they never really get it done in February. They

0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.640
<v Speaker 2>seem to get it done in the fall. So good

0:14:06.640 --> 0:14:09.360
<v Speaker 2>for Wisconsin stringing together some more blue chips in this class,

0:14:09.400 --> 0:14:12.520
<v Speaker 2>perhaps than usual. And I think I'm ready to get

0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:15.560
<v Speaker 2>into this construction. So why don't we start here.

0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's let's focus on the teams that are already coming

0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:26.080
<v Speaker 1>to town with an embarrassment of riches. The teams that

0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.840
<v Speaker 1>you know they've already got the mansion. They're adding on

0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:37.400
<v Speaker 1>a selarium or some sort of luxurious doomsday bunker home theater.

0:14:37.960 --> 0:14:41.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, doomsday bunker. Yeah. These are the billionaires of college football.

0:14:41.120 --> 0:14:42.760
<v Speaker 2>What are they doing? How are they adding that? These

0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:43.080
<v Speaker 2>are the.

0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:45.880
<v Speaker 1>Super yachts with the helipad. That's what That's what these

0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:50.720
<v Speaker 1>programs are. So yes, let's start with the Clemson Tigers. Now,

0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Clemson did not win this cycle, not technically they finished third,

0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:59.160
<v Speaker 1>but they loaded up on defensive line again in a

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:02.920
<v Speaker 1>way that of screams what we saw last year, and

0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:06.480
<v Speaker 1>that to me is terrifying if you happen to go

0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:09.520
<v Speaker 1>through and look where just in general, some of their

0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:13.000
<v Speaker 1>recruits rank, according to twenty four to seven relative to

0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:16.200
<v Speaker 1>some of their previous classes. Three of their top eight

0:15:16.880 --> 0:15:21.240
<v Speaker 1>all time highest rated recruits came from this cycle.

0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:23.640
<v Speaker 2>That is one percent correct, tie. I think it's what

0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:26.760
<v Speaker 2>Miles Murphy along the defensive line, Brian Brezie, if I

0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:28.920
<v Speaker 2>pronounced that correctly, who I think might be the number

0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:32.920
<v Speaker 2>one overall recruit in the country. Yes, And dj Uyanga

0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:35.120
<v Speaker 2>Lalay right by.

0:15:35.080 --> 0:15:37.160
<v Speaker 1>This all year, that's gonna be trouble.

0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.400
<v Speaker 2>He is one of many Californians and West Coasters who

0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:43.040
<v Speaker 2>have looked at Pac twelve teams and said, I'm going

0:15:43.080 --> 0:15:46.480
<v Speaker 2>to go East. You're going to go and play for

0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:48.160
<v Speaker 2>teams that more people watch.

0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:53.360
<v Speaker 1>By the numbers, Clemson did very well along the defensive line.

0:15:53.880 --> 0:15:56.600
<v Speaker 1>They clearly added to what was a young core this

0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:59.920
<v Speaker 1>past year. But they also stocked up on offensive line.

0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:02.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, they've really made a lot of halong that

0:16:02.320 --> 0:16:06.400
<v Speaker 1>offensive line as well. It's important to protect their star quarterbacks.

0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:11.200
<v Speaker 1>And by the numbers, more offensive linemen coming into this

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:13.880
<v Speaker 1>class than any other position, which is I think notable.

0:16:14.240 --> 0:16:21.040
<v Speaker 2>All right, who else is adding helipads? Alabama? Alabama's already

0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:25.440
<v Speaker 2>got like four helipads. What they've done at the running

0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:29.880
<v Speaker 2>back position, what they've done at linebacker again is nothing

0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:33.840
<v Speaker 2>short of incredible. Yes, the highest rated players in their

0:16:33.880 --> 0:16:38.440
<v Speaker 2>class aren't even at the running back position. But I'm

0:16:38.440 --> 0:16:42.760
<v Speaker 2>looking at Jace McClellan, an exciting prospect out of Texas.

0:16:43.160 --> 0:16:47.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at Royd L. Williams, exciting prospect out of Alabama.

0:16:48.480 --> 0:16:52.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm looking at Jackson Bratton, a great name inside linebacker

0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:55.800
<v Speaker 1>from Alabama. These are all four star kids. By the way,

0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:59.400
<v Speaker 1>the list goes on and on here. So I'm excited

0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:01.640
<v Speaker 1>about Alabama to the extent that I can. At some

0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:04.960
<v Speaker 1>point it becomes old hat. But again, Nick Saban does it.

0:17:05.040 --> 0:17:07.639
<v Speaker 1>He goes out, He gets the positions that he needs

0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:10.040
<v Speaker 1>to keep this thing going in the direction that it's been.

0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:12.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, the linebackers and the edge players on you. It's

0:17:12.880 --> 0:17:15.040
<v Speaker 2>a defensive hyper loop. Is that what Elon Musk is

0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:17.399
<v Speaker 2>trying to build. Yeah, yeah, it's a defensive They have

0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:20.080
<v Speaker 2>the helipads. It's a ridiculous class. Bryce Young. We can

0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:23.680
<v Speaker 2>talk about later with another construction question, but yeah, it's

0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.960
<v Speaker 2>a ridiculous class. They were passed by Georgia because they

0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:29.960
<v Speaker 2>put together. They don't have quite the helipad situation, but

0:17:30.080 --> 0:17:33.240
<v Speaker 2>they close strong, and I think it's what Kelly or

0:17:33.320 --> 0:17:36.919
<v Speaker 2>Khaley ringo. Yeah, the corner out of Arizona, another one

0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:39.480
<v Speaker 2>of those West Coast players who decided to uh to

0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.639
<v Speaker 2>head east. He headlines the class. But everywhere everywhere, I

0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:45.120
<v Speaker 2>know they got a quarterback. I know they are fortified

0:17:45.119 --> 0:17:47.600
<v Speaker 2>along the lines. But man, this Georgia class too, number

0:17:47.600 --> 0:17:49.760
<v Speaker 2>one in the country year after a year, even without

0:17:49.800 --> 0:17:51.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't know how much attention you paid to the

0:17:51.840 --> 0:17:55.400
<v Speaker 2>Zach Evans situation there running back from Texas who looks

0:17:55.440 --> 0:17:58.280
<v Speaker 2>like his recruitment. It's gonna be like a Bryce Brown

0:17:58.480 --> 0:18:01.320
<v Speaker 2>Terrell Pryor situation. It's going to go into the spring

0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:05.960
<v Speaker 2>and just weird smoke around the recruitment. Georgia let him

0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.640
<v Speaker 2>out of his letter of intent in December, so we'll

0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:12.159
<v Speaker 2>see where he and where he ends up. But another

0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:15.280
<v Speaker 2>what incredible class for Georgia. I'm assuming number one.

0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Turning to Ohio State two gigantic wide receiver recruits now.

0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:22.760
<v Speaker 1>The first one is a gent by the name of

0:18:23.119 --> 0:18:28.679
<v Speaker 1>Julian Fleming from southern Columbia. Here in Pennsylvania. I have

0:18:28.720 --> 0:18:30.919
<v Speaker 1>a good friend who had the opportunity to see Julian

0:18:30.960 --> 0:18:35.119
<v Speaker 1>Fleming up close. He is ridiculous. This is an incredible

0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:38.119
<v Speaker 1>signing by Ohio State. To be able to see a

0:18:38.160 --> 0:18:40.439
<v Speaker 1>kid like this play in high school in the flesh

0:18:40.560 --> 0:18:43.680
<v Speaker 1>is sort of an experience. He's a five star, He's

0:18:43.680 --> 0:18:47.320
<v Speaker 1>a number one wide receiver in the country. And that's

0:18:47.320 --> 0:18:51.040
<v Speaker 1>not even the full story. For Ryan Day. Also Jackson Smith,

0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.040
<v Speaker 1>nijigba is that how I say it?

0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:55.120
<v Speaker 2>I hope not in Agiba. I don't know. My guess

0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:56.600
<v Speaker 2>would be in Agbar, but I don't.

0:18:56.400 --> 0:19:02.359
<v Speaker 1>Know Rockwall, Texas another five star receiver, the fifth rated

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:04.920
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver in college football.

0:19:05.200 --> 0:19:08.720
<v Speaker 2>Come yes, and imagine, imagine you're CJ. Stroud, who was

0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:11.600
<v Speaker 2>sort of a late comer to the recruiting scene. He

0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:15.000
<v Speaker 2>won the Elite eleven from southern California, another West coast

0:19:15.040 --> 0:19:18.399
<v Speaker 2>or heading east, and you're looking at where should I go?

0:19:18.520 --> 0:19:20.800
<v Speaker 2>Then you watch what Justin Fields is doing on the field,

0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:23.920
<v Speaker 2>and then you see Ryan Day and specifically Brian Hartline,

0:19:23.960 --> 0:19:26.600
<v Speaker 2>the young the new receivers coach for Ohio State. You

0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:29.320
<v Speaker 2>know everybody remembers him playing, but he is. I think

0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:31.480
<v Speaker 2>he won twenty four to seven's Recruiter of the Year

0:19:32.040 --> 0:19:35.120
<v Speaker 2>and he brings in two five star receivers in your

0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:37.520
<v Speaker 2>same class. How do you say no? How do you

0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:39.639
<v Speaker 2>say no to that type of opportunity? You get to

0:19:39.640 --> 0:19:42.320
<v Speaker 2>sit behind Justin Fields for a year. It's it's a

0:19:42.400 --> 0:19:45.040
<v Speaker 2>terrific situation at the top of that Ohio State class.

0:19:45.119 --> 0:19:47.639
<v Speaker 2>And another West Coaster g Scott from the state of

0:19:47.720 --> 0:19:50.240
<v Speaker 2>Washington heading east to play at Ohio State as well,

0:19:50.359 --> 0:19:52.640
<v Speaker 2>just Rich getting richer for Ohio State.

0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Oregon. Your ducks finished with the twelfth overall.

0:19:57.200 --> 0:19:59.879
<v Speaker 2>Class something like that. Yeah, they take the pack to

0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:03.000
<v Speaker 2>and have the best recruiting class in the back.

0:20:03.200 --> 0:20:05.760
<v Speaker 1>How do you feel about the pieces they added? I

0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:08.119
<v Speaker 1>know you're pretty high on the linebacking corps.

0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:12.480
<v Speaker 2>Yes. Noah Sewell, who is the younger brother of Piney Seol,

0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:15.520
<v Speaker 2>the Outland Trophy winner, looks to be ridiculous. He's at like,

0:20:15.760 --> 0:20:19.800
<v Speaker 2>you know, he's playing to sixty five linebacker and moves

0:20:19.920 --> 0:20:23.119
<v Speaker 2>crazy well justin flow is being compared and Brandon Huffman

0:20:23.160 --> 0:20:26.200
<v Speaker 2>talked about this to a like a vontez Berfeck type,

0:20:27.000 --> 0:20:31.720
<v Speaker 2>So just an out of control, good middle linebacker. And yeah,

0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:34.359
<v Speaker 2>they're defensive class. They added a four star defensive tackle

0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:37.440
<v Speaker 2>today from I think the state of Alabama. But their

0:20:37.480 --> 0:20:40.119
<v Speaker 2>class is very good. They had two quarterbacks, one of

0:20:40.119 --> 0:20:43.560
<v Speaker 2>whom was pretty highly regarded, Jay Butterfield from northern California,

0:20:43.560 --> 0:20:47.040
<v Speaker 2>who's a Stanford legacy. All in all, it wasn't the

0:20:47.119 --> 0:20:50.880
<v Speaker 2>twenty nineteen class, but the twenty twenty Oregon class looks

0:20:50.920 --> 0:20:54.480
<v Speaker 2>to be very very strong at the top, especially on defense,

0:20:54.520 --> 0:20:57.680
<v Speaker 2>which this is a defense that returns so much next

0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:02.200
<v Speaker 2>year and they will have some pretty scary depth there,

0:21:02.280 --> 0:21:04.160
<v Speaker 2>especially in a downpac twelve.

0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:06.840
<v Speaker 1>Is Jay Butterfield gonna play.

0:21:07.600 --> 0:21:10.040
<v Speaker 2>Tyler Shuck looks to be the favorite. They seem to

0:21:10.080 --> 0:21:12.480
<v Speaker 2>like him. He was justin Herbert's backup this year. He

0:21:12.520 --> 0:21:15.000
<v Speaker 2>got into some garbage time. He played well against USC

0:21:15.320 --> 0:21:19.879
<v Speaker 2>in that blowout game. I could see him impressing. I

0:21:19.880 --> 0:21:22.080
<v Speaker 2>think he's already enrolled, so that's at least a good

0:21:22.119 --> 0:21:25.560
<v Speaker 2>sign for picking up the offense. But unless they add

0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:28.080
<v Speaker 2>a grad transfer we don't know about. I know maybe

0:21:28.119 --> 0:21:30.280
<v Speaker 2>there was some interest in kJ Costello before he headed

0:21:30.320 --> 0:21:34.040
<v Speaker 2>to Mississippi State. I would imagine Tyler Shuck is pretty

0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:35.760
<v Speaker 2>head and shoulders above the pack. Right now.

0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:39.040
<v Speaker 1>The other program here that I want to call out

0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:43.840
<v Speaker 1>before we talk about some of the more tactical stuff. Oklahoma. Yes,

0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:46.560
<v Speaker 1>Oklahoma's been in the playoff now a couple of years running.

0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Oklahoma seemingly went out and reaffirmed its commitment to its

0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:58.520
<v Speaker 1>offensive line. Yep, it's defensive line and its defensive backfield.

0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:03.879
<v Speaker 2>Smart smart to address that secondary. At last time we

0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:07.360
<v Speaker 2>saw Oklahoma wasn't perfect.

0:22:07.600 --> 0:22:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Oklahoma eked out by Texas, so they didn't win with

0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:16.240
<v Speaker 1>the Big twelve's best recruiting class. But you know, Nate

0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:20.240
<v Speaker 1>Anderson Andrew Raim along the offensive line, to guards, to

0:22:20.359 --> 0:22:25.200
<v Speaker 1>interior linemen to help bolster what Lincoln Riley's trying to build.

0:22:25.240 --> 0:22:29.520
<v Speaker 1>It's again another situation where they already had the best

0:22:29.560 --> 0:22:32.720
<v Speaker 1>offensive line in the Big Twelve a year ago. Add

0:22:32.760 --> 0:22:35.160
<v Speaker 1>more beef to that line, keep the train rolling.

0:22:35.680 --> 0:22:37.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it's going to come down to what

0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:39.760
<v Speaker 2>they added on defense. I know they look to the

0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:43.080
<v Speaker 2>j C ranks for an interior defensive lineman to help

0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:44.680
<v Speaker 2>get some pressure. I know they have a pretty good

0:22:44.680 --> 0:22:48.199
<v Speaker 2>safety in this class. But yeah, Oklahoma, We're not going

0:22:48.280 --> 0:22:50.439
<v Speaker 2>to question what Lincoln Riley's been able to do on offense.

0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:53.639
<v Speaker 2>It's building that complete team that's the lingering question.

0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:57.840
<v Speaker 1>So I guess on the flip side of teams such

0:22:57.880 --> 0:23:01.320
<v Speaker 1>as the Clemsons and Ohio States in Alabama's of the world,

0:23:01.760 --> 0:23:04.080
<v Speaker 1>we didn't even touch Georgia. We can talk about them

0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:06.840
<v Speaker 1>in a little bit, But what are some teams on

0:23:06.880 --> 0:23:09.320
<v Speaker 1>the opposite end of the spectrum, Dan Like, if we're

0:23:09.400 --> 0:23:13.840
<v Speaker 1>thinking of this in terms of construction, what are some

0:23:13.960 --> 0:23:17.959
<v Speaker 1>teams that have effectively raised their previous infrastructure and now

0:23:17.960 --> 0:23:22.119
<v Speaker 1>they've got to start a new new foundation. Maybe they

0:23:22.160 --> 0:23:27.159
<v Speaker 1>had a really bad termite infestation, like who has to

0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:31.560
<v Speaker 1>start over and who has given you reason to believe

0:23:31.680 --> 0:23:35.800
<v Speaker 1>or not believe in the strategies that they deployed here.

0:23:36.320 --> 0:23:39.719
<v Speaker 2>The bottom of the Power five area of the sport

0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:43.560
<v Speaker 2>is pretty bleak. It's not great, I mean, other than

0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:47.000
<v Speaker 2>maybe Arkansas. Arkansas was pretty horrific last season, and I

0:23:47.000 --> 0:23:49.240
<v Speaker 2>think there's some reason to believe based on the hire

0:23:49.280 --> 0:23:52.359
<v Speaker 2>of Sam Pittman and the coordinators he was able to hire,

0:23:52.400 --> 0:23:55.960
<v Speaker 2>and their proximity to talent, I think I feel better

0:23:56.000 --> 0:23:57.879
<v Speaker 2>about Arkansas. We can talk about new coaches that we

0:23:57.920 --> 0:24:00.159
<v Speaker 2>can talk about down in the dumps teams and sometimes

0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:04.000
<v Speaker 2>that's both, but especially Arkansas, the jewel of their class

0:24:04.040 --> 0:24:06.560
<v Speaker 2>is Miles Slusher, the safety. They recruited well up front,

0:24:06.600 --> 0:24:09.119
<v Speaker 2>which I imagine Sam Pittman will continue to do, but

0:24:09.160 --> 0:24:11.720
<v Speaker 2>they're really Their big recruit this year was Felipe Franks,

0:24:12.200 --> 0:24:14.479
<v Speaker 2>who comes in from Florida. And I'm a fan of

0:24:14.560 --> 0:24:16.439
<v Speaker 2>the fact that twenty four to seven has sort of

0:24:16.800 --> 0:24:18.800
<v Speaker 2>included transfers. I don't know if they give all the

0:24:18.800 --> 0:24:23.000
<v Speaker 2>transfers new star ratings, whatever the case is. They've brought

0:24:23.000 --> 0:24:25.200
<v Speaker 2>in a couple transfers. Last season. They had a top

0:24:25.240 --> 0:24:27.760
<v Speaker 2>twenty five class and brought in a couple good pass catchers.

0:24:27.760 --> 0:24:32.320
<v Speaker 2>This year, Arkansas focused upfront on defense, which from what

0:24:32.400 --> 0:24:35.840
<v Speaker 2>we saw of Arkansas defense last year, seems pretty smart.

0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:37.600
<v Speaker 2>They need, I mean, they need to focus everywhere. But

0:24:37.600 --> 0:24:41.040
<v Speaker 2>if the teams that truly have termites man Kansas is

0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:43.240
<v Speaker 2>at the bottom of the Big twelve. They focused on

0:24:43.320 --> 0:24:46.680
<v Speaker 2>receiver and offensive line. They didn't bring anybody in all

0:24:46.720 --> 0:24:54.320
<v Speaker 2>their transfer and transfer portal situations are outgoing. Arizona is

0:24:54.359 --> 0:24:56.240
<v Speaker 2>the bottom of the Pac twelve right now. They've focused

0:24:56.280 --> 0:24:58.800
<v Speaker 2>on wide receiver, offensive line, and defensive back. They bring

0:24:58.800 --> 0:25:02.119
<v Speaker 2>in an all purpose back in Frank Brown from Texas

0:25:02.160 --> 0:25:05.080
<v Speaker 2>who's promising. Brendan Schooler was a starting receiver at Oregon.

0:25:05.119 --> 0:25:07.880
<v Speaker 2>He joins his brother at Arizona, albeit on the opposite

0:25:07.920 --> 0:25:10.320
<v Speaker 2>side of the field. They lost a lot of bodies

0:25:10.320 --> 0:25:14.720
<v Speaker 2>to transfer from their secondary and twenty nineteen wasn't much better,

0:25:14.760 --> 0:25:16.399
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know if the outlook is all that good.

0:25:16.800 --> 0:25:19.639
<v Speaker 2>I don't think there's all that reason for optimism unless

0:25:19.680 --> 0:25:22.440
<v Speaker 2>you're a big believer in the new coaching staff at

0:25:22.440 --> 0:25:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Arizona Vanderbilt. They just, you know, their ad steps down yesterday.

0:25:27.119 --> 0:25:30.280
<v Speaker 2>Derek Mason has brought in the last place class in

0:25:30.400 --> 0:25:33.440
<v Speaker 2>the SEC. They focused on an offensive line. They lost

0:25:33.480 --> 0:25:38.840
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks plural, so they brought in quarterbacks plural. There's not

0:25:38.880 --> 0:25:42.359
<v Speaker 2>a ton of reason for optimism there. Maryland's might be

0:25:42.400 --> 0:25:46.280
<v Speaker 2>the worst situation of all. They lost a ton of bodies.

0:25:46.320 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm seeing seventeen eighteen guys in the transfer portal because

0:25:49.040 --> 0:25:53.240
<v Speaker 2>Tyrrell Pigram has entered the portal. Last year's class wasn't

0:25:53.240 --> 0:25:55.960
<v Speaker 2>anything special. The big jewel though, of all these classes

0:25:55.960 --> 0:26:00.400
<v Speaker 2>that perhaps are representing programs that need to rebuild founds

0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:03.760
<v Speaker 2>in a major way. Rackem Jarrett, local five star receiver,

0:26:03.800 --> 0:26:06.200
<v Speaker 2>talked about him a little bit with Huffman, but their

0:26:06.200 --> 0:26:08.639
<v Speaker 2>focus this year was on the the offensive line receiver

0:26:08.840 --> 0:26:12.919
<v Speaker 2>headlined by Jarrett, and defensive back. So of the teams

0:26:12.920 --> 0:26:17.359
<v Speaker 2>that really, really, you know, needed to bring in fresh

0:26:17.440 --> 0:26:21.440
<v Speaker 2>bodies and sort of find a reason and maybe convince

0:26:21.720 --> 0:26:24.240
<v Speaker 2>higher level recruits that you can play right away. You

0:26:24.320 --> 0:26:27.760
<v Speaker 2>can be the reason for the turnaround right now. Those

0:26:27.840 --> 0:26:30.360
<v Speaker 2>four schools to me, and we can get into Rutgers

0:26:30.359 --> 0:26:33.080
<v Speaker 2>as well, because they hired a new coach. They're you know,

0:26:33.200 --> 0:26:36.800
<v Speaker 2>tearing things down to the studs. There's some optimism with

0:26:36.880 --> 0:26:40.160
<v Speaker 2>Greg Ciano because of how well he is versed in

0:26:40.200 --> 0:26:43.359
<v Speaker 2>the state of New Jersey, a pretty talented state. Chris

0:26:43.400 --> 0:26:45.719
<v Speaker 2>Long is the headliner there. I think he's listed as

0:26:45.720 --> 0:26:48.159
<v Speaker 2>an athlete. Looks like he'll play receiver, but you know

0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:50.600
<v Speaker 2>that's always up for you know, we'll see what happens

0:26:50.640 --> 0:26:53.440
<v Speaker 2>in camp. They were very active in the transfer market,

0:26:53.480 --> 0:26:55.800
<v Speaker 2>and I'm including all of that here because they bring

0:26:55.800 --> 0:26:58.359
<v Speaker 2>in Peyton Powell, a former blue chip quarterback from Baylor.

0:26:58.440 --> 0:27:02.240
<v Speaker 2>They bring in Michigan into defensive lineman. Michael dwumfor Brendan

0:27:02.240 --> 0:27:04.280
<v Speaker 2>White played a lot at the end of twenty eighteen

0:27:04.320 --> 0:27:07.199
<v Speaker 2>for Ohio State at safety, sort of lost favor in

0:27:07.240 --> 0:27:10.600
<v Speaker 2>this new defense the twenty nineteen Ohio State. But you know,

0:27:10.640 --> 0:27:13.280
<v Speaker 2>greg Ciano has his familiarity with him and brings him

0:27:13.280 --> 0:27:18.320
<v Speaker 2>to Rutgers. So I would say, weirdly enough of the

0:27:18.400 --> 0:27:22.240
<v Speaker 2>teams that really look like they were heading in a

0:27:22.400 --> 0:27:28.720
<v Speaker 2>very terrible direction, Rutgers, I think they're The temperature of

0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:31.000
<v Speaker 2>bodies there is warmer than the other places.

0:27:31.119 --> 0:27:31.639
<v Speaker 1>Interesting.

0:27:32.240 --> 0:27:34.919
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's that was my takeaway. I think I like

0:27:34.960 --> 0:27:37.679
<v Speaker 2>the staff he hired. Sean Gleeson comes in from he

0:27:37.800 --> 0:27:40.439
<v Speaker 2>was Princeton and Oklahoma State. Now he of course is

0:27:40.480 --> 0:27:44.080
<v Speaker 2>familiar with that area. So I don't love that they're

0:27:44.119 --> 0:27:47.840
<v Speaker 2>in the Big Ten East. But in terms of fielding

0:27:47.840 --> 0:27:53.600
<v Speaker 2>a competitive team compared against those compatriots, yeah, I.

0:27:53.600 --> 0:27:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Think it's Rutgers interesting. Okay, Yeah, I focused a lot

0:27:58.680 --> 0:28:05.240
<v Speaker 1>of my time looking at teams that seemingly have a window.

0:28:06.280 --> 0:28:10.320
<v Speaker 1>I like this, seemingly have a window to make a jump,

0:28:10.359 --> 0:28:13.119
<v Speaker 1>Like maybe the house is in order for the most part.

0:28:13.440 --> 0:28:14.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, get a.

0:28:14.160 --> 0:28:18.040
<v Speaker 1>New throw, maybe paint a wall or two, but by

0:28:18.119 --> 0:28:20.879
<v Speaker 1>and large, you got key pieces in place.

0:28:21.440 --> 0:28:21.720
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:28:21.800 --> 0:28:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Other divisional opponents have some issues or some questions.

0:28:26.640 --> 0:28:30.160
<v Speaker 2>Maybe we're regrouting. We are just like simple stuff, changing

0:28:30.200 --> 0:28:34.000
<v Speaker 2>a few light bulbs, uh huh, immediate issues that needed

0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:38.800
<v Speaker 2>to be resolved, perhaps through recruiting. But teams that seemingly

0:28:38.840 --> 0:28:39.840
<v Speaker 2>are in a really.

0:28:39.600 --> 0:28:42.360
<v Speaker 1>Good place now as we enter the twenty twenty season.

0:28:42.400 --> 0:28:45.080
<v Speaker 2>Going in the right direction, and because of what's going

0:28:45.120 --> 0:28:47.760
<v Speaker 2>on in their division. You know, a team atop the

0:28:47.800 --> 0:28:49.840
<v Speaker 2>division losing a bunch or a new coach for a

0:28:49.920 --> 0:28:52.840
<v Speaker 2>key rival, something like that, you have windows. College football

0:28:52.840 --> 0:28:54.200
<v Speaker 2>is about taking advantage of windows.

0:28:54.280 --> 0:28:56.880
<v Speaker 1>Right. Let's start with Texas A and MDN okay. So

0:28:57.880 --> 0:29:02.440
<v Speaker 1>this is an outstanding recruiting class. They finished sixth in

0:29:02.480 --> 0:29:06.360
<v Speaker 1>the nation and it comes at an exciting time because

0:29:07.160 --> 0:29:11.240
<v Speaker 1>the Aggies lose what three starters from last year. Most

0:29:11.240 --> 0:29:14.720
<v Speaker 1>of the team is back. Jimbo's in a good spot

0:29:15.080 --> 0:29:17.880
<v Speaker 1>where he's got a really good team coming back, and

0:29:18.240 --> 0:29:22.160
<v Speaker 1>while you're always looking for those immediate impact guys, he's

0:29:22.200 --> 0:29:23.960
<v Speaker 1>in a spot where he can look to build depth

0:29:23.960 --> 0:29:27.560
<v Speaker 1>for the future without really compromising the present, which is

0:29:27.600 --> 0:29:30.240
<v Speaker 1>a good spot to be in. Jooj The other key

0:29:30.280 --> 0:29:34.720
<v Speaker 1>point here the SEC West is good. It's always good.

0:29:35.080 --> 0:29:38.400
<v Speaker 1>It's not without its share of questions. In twenty twenty,

0:29:38.880 --> 0:29:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Ward knows the schedule for A and M isn't nearly

0:29:42.080 --> 0:29:45.640
<v Speaker 1>the Murderers road was last year. It's still tough, but

0:29:45.680 --> 0:29:48.520
<v Speaker 1>it's not the gauntlet it was in twenty nineteen. There

0:29:48.560 --> 0:29:50.200
<v Speaker 1>is a chance, and I hate to go like all

0:29:50.280 --> 0:29:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Missouri here and jinx them in early February, but no,

0:29:54.120 --> 0:29:56.280
<v Speaker 1>there's a chance that they're nine to one or ten

0:29:56.320 --> 0:29:58.000
<v Speaker 1>and zero headed into the last two weeks of the

0:29:58.080 --> 0:30:00.600
<v Speaker 1>year when they're on the road at Obama and then

0:30:00.600 --> 0:30:04.840
<v Speaker 1>home against LSU. What I like about what Jimbo did here.

0:30:05.160 --> 0:30:11.240
<v Speaker 1>First off, he has seemingly focused on past defense. It

0:30:11.360 --> 0:30:15.719
<v Speaker 1>was really bad two years ago. It didn't prove last season,

0:30:16.600 --> 0:30:21.040
<v Speaker 1>but now he is very very out there and trying

0:30:21.080 --> 0:30:25.080
<v Speaker 1>to solidify the back end of that defense. Two four

0:30:25.120 --> 0:30:30.040
<v Speaker 1>star safeties Jalen Jones Antonio Johnson, they both can come

0:30:30.040 --> 0:30:31.920
<v Speaker 1>in and help with the back end of that defense,

0:30:32.080 --> 0:30:36.040
<v Speaker 1>and perhaps right away, So that to me is maybe

0:30:36.080 --> 0:30:38.440
<v Speaker 1>a plug and play situation. We'll have to wait and

0:30:38.440 --> 0:30:43.280
<v Speaker 1>see about playing time, but certainly some bodies that can help. Otherwise,

0:30:43.840 --> 0:30:46.760
<v Speaker 1>he made a real concerted effort here to add depth

0:30:46.800 --> 0:30:49.920
<v Speaker 1>to the offensive line. And we've said it once, he

0:30:50.000 --> 0:30:52.840
<v Speaker 1>said it a thousand times. It's essential in the SEC

0:30:52.960 --> 0:30:55.719
<v Speaker 1>to have really good offensive line play. He focused in

0:30:55.760 --> 0:30:59.040
<v Speaker 1>particular on the interior offensive line. Yes, I don't know

0:30:59.080 --> 0:31:01.520
<v Speaker 1>if either of those will be enough to spring them

0:31:01.680 --> 0:31:04.520
<v Speaker 1>to a twelve and oho season, but I like the

0:31:04.560 --> 0:31:07.120
<v Speaker 1>fact that he's able to add depth for the future

0:31:07.960 --> 0:31:09.960
<v Speaker 1>and at the same time maybe some guys who he

0:31:09.960 --> 0:31:11.360
<v Speaker 1>can plug and play. Now. I think he did a

0:31:11.360 --> 0:31:11.800
<v Speaker 1>good job.

0:31:12.280 --> 0:31:14.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I had one of the things last year, maybe

0:31:14.080 --> 0:31:16.920
<v Speaker 2>the biggest thing last year was just generating bigger plays

0:31:16.960 --> 0:31:19.720
<v Speaker 2>on offense. And they did well at receiver. It's I

0:31:19.720 --> 0:31:22.040
<v Speaker 2>think they had a quarterback last year and it's at

0:31:22.040 --> 0:31:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Hayes King Haines King this year for Texas A and M.

0:31:24.720 --> 0:31:26.600
<v Speaker 2>If you have the class in front of you, so

0:31:26.800 --> 0:31:28.800
<v Speaker 2>they bring in a blue chip quarterback of the future

0:31:29.720 --> 0:31:33.040
<v Speaker 2>to compete for that job once Kellen Mond exhausts his eligibility.

0:31:33.040 --> 0:31:36.240
<v Speaker 2>And also Jimo Fisher did a really nice job expanding

0:31:36.280 --> 0:31:38.760
<v Speaker 2>the recruiting footprint of Texas A and M. You see

0:31:38.760 --> 0:31:42.720
<v Speaker 2>where they they've brought in commitments from, and it's really

0:31:42.760 --> 0:31:47.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean a big guy from Illinois, New Jersey, Texas, Louisiana, Arizona, Arkansas.

0:31:47.960 --> 0:31:50.680
<v Speaker 2>So they're not relying even though you know, East Texas

0:31:50.720 --> 0:31:53.400
<v Speaker 2>is a very fruitful area for recruiting. They went out

0:31:53.440 --> 0:31:56.760
<v Speaker 2>and seemingly found the best players for them no matter

0:31:56.800 --> 0:31:59.400
<v Speaker 2>where they were. They went into I think Georgia, they

0:31:59.400 --> 0:32:02.120
<v Speaker 2>went Maryland. So really good job for Texas A and

0:32:02.280 --> 0:32:05.120
<v Speaker 2>M and the specific window and you mentioned it having

0:32:05.120 --> 0:32:09.000
<v Speaker 2>an easier schedule. But which quarterbacks right now are proven

0:32:09.120 --> 0:32:13.560
<v Speaker 2>to be dangerous in the SEC West? Mac Jones? Probably? Yeah,

0:32:13.600 --> 0:32:19.000
<v Speaker 2>probably probably Mac Jones. Is that the entire list? I'm

0:32:19.680 --> 0:32:22.720
<v Speaker 2>not terrified of Bonix right now, maybe he evolves into

0:32:22.760 --> 0:32:26.640
<v Speaker 2>that kind of quarterback. The old miss quarterback situation is

0:32:26.680 --> 0:32:29.240
<v Speaker 2>up in the air with where Lane Kiffin goes. Mississippi

0:32:29.280 --> 0:32:33.160
<v Speaker 2>State certainly up. Yeah, I mean it's it's going kJ

0:32:33.240 --> 0:32:36.239
<v Speaker 2>Costello in an air raid is certainly interesting. But this

0:32:36.280 --> 0:32:39.800
<v Speaker 2>is a new quarterback, new system, new school, So, especially

0:32:39.800 --> 0:32:43.120
<v Speaker 2>with his injuries from last season, I can't say I'm

0:32:43.240 --> 0:32:46.000
<v Speaker 2>confident that it's just going to be a turnkey situation.

0:32:46.840 --> 0:32:50.040
<v Speaker 2>I feel really good about the window. A and M

0:32:50.160 --> 0:32:53.880
<v Speaker 2>has to sort of take another jump up whatever whatever

0:32:53.920 --> 0:32:55.000
<v Speaker 2>that ascension looks like.

0:32:55.440 --> 0:32:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and to your point, recruited from thirteen different states here.

0:32:58.560 --> 0:33:03.280
<v Speaker 1>You compare that with ut only two states Texas and Arizona.

0:33:03.360 --> 0:33:08.640
<v Speaker 1>Got their big gun from from Arizona. We'll talk about that. Yeah, yeah, Bijan.

0:33:08.760 --> 0:33:11.719
<v Speaker 1>But otherwise H, A and M. I think is in

0:33:11.760 --> 0:33:14.080
<v Speaker 1>a good spot. Penn State, let's talk about Penn State

0:33:14.120 --> 0:33:18.680
<v Speaker 1>for a second. Yeah, generally speaking, in a very good spot.

0:33:18.720 --> 0:33:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Recruiting has been strong. We saw it last season. They

0:33:21.760 --> 0:33:24.400
<v Speaker 1>were able to get contributions from a bunch of the

0:33:24.400 --> 0:33:27.960
<v Speaker 1>young guns on the roster, sure, which which is nice. Yeah,

0:33:28.000 --> 0:33:33.640
<v Speaker 1>the immediate needs here at least from my vantage point,

0:33:33.880 --> 0:33:37.320
<v Speaker 1>are in the passing game, both in creating it and

0:33:37.400 --> 0:33:41.160
<v Speaker 1>in stopping it. Now they do bring back Pat Fryarmouth.

0:33:41.240 --> 0:33:43.280
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna still be around this coming season, so he's

0:33:43.320 --> 0:33:46.000
<v Speaker 1>last year, I promise you, baby. So that's a good

0:33:46.040 --> 0:33:49.160
<v Speaker 1>starting point. Johan dots in his bat back that helps too.

0:33:49.800 --> 0:33:54.160
<v Speaker 1>But Kja Hamler's going pro. They're having some guys transfer out.

0:33:54.720 --> 0:33:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I just feel like the wide receiving core is very thin,

0:33:58.840 --> 0:34:03.360
<v Speaker 1>so could a freshman like KeAndre Lambert from Virginia step

0:34:03.440 --> 0:34:06.360
<v Speaker 1>up and make an impact. He's a name that some

0:34:06.400 --> 0:34:08.360
<v Speaker 1>have pointed to with someone who could step in, But

0:34:08.480 --> 0:34:10.920
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't feel like there's a whole lot of depth

0:34:11.160 --> 0:34:15.560
<v Speaker 1>beyond those top two guys. And I said on a

0:34:15.600 --> 0:34:18.879
<v Speaker 1>previous show about how Sean Clifford I really liked him

0:34:19.000 --> 0:34:20.360
<v Speaker 1>in the beginning of the year. By the end of

0:34:20.400 --> 0:34:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the year I didn't quite feel as rosy about his

0:34:24.239 --> 0:34:25.840
<v Speaker 1>chances moving forward.

0:34:26.000 --> 0:34:29.960
<v Speaker 2>But a new offensive coordinator, there's a window to certainly

0:34:30.000 --> 0:34:32.080
<v Speaker 2>surprise people and improve on offense. There.

0:34:32.200 --> 0:34:35.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think there's reason for optimism. And there were

0:34:35.480 --> 0:34:38.920
<v Speaker 1>many points, to be fair, where his wide receiving corps

0:34:38.960 --> 0:34:41.360
<v Speaker 1>just did not do him any favors correct.

0:34:41.480 --> 0:34:44.719
<v Speaker 2>It took Jowan Johnson going to America's school, the University

0:34:44.719 --> 0:34:47.440
<v Speaker 2>of Oregon, to really hone his craft. I get it.

0:34:48.160 --> 0:34:51.520
<v Speaker 1>So I'm curious to see if some of the bodies

0:34:51.520 --> 0:34:54.600
<v Speaker 1>they bring in at receiver can help kind of take

0:34:54.600 --> 0:34:57.000
<v Speaker 1>that offense to the next level. And defensively, look like

0:34:57.719 --> 0:35:00.640
<v Speaker 1>we saw some breakdowns against the past last year. They

0:35:00.640 --> 0:35:03.359
<v Speaker 1>were super banged up the corner. But they do have

0:35:03.360 --> 0:35:06.200
<v Speaker 1>some options coming in on the back end of that secondary,

0:35:06.239 --> 0:35:09.879
<v Speaker 1>Enzo Jennings, So I think it's an early commit Tyler Rudolph,

0:35:10.000 --> 0:35:13.160
<v Speaker 1>some guys that could play again back end of that secondary.

0:35:12.960 --> 0:35:16.680
<v Speaker 1>They really needed help there and we saw it in

0:35:16.680 --> 0:35:20.239
<v Speaker 1>a game like in Minnesota where Frankly, they couldn't stop

0:35:20.239 --> 0:35:23.360
<v Speaker 1>the pass Minnesota's passing. It was just too much for him. Yeah,

0:35:23.440 --> 0:35:26.120
<v Speaker 1>and they need to have some solutions there. But there

0:35:26.200 --> 0:35:29.879
<v Speaker 1>are questions maybe like outside Ohio State in the Big

0:35:29.920 --> 0:35:30.839
<v Speaker 1>Ten East.

0:35:31.040 --> 0:35:33.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and even Ohio State, you don't have to block

0:35:33.200 --> 0:35:36.160
<v Speaker 2>Chase Young in twenty twenty, that's enormous. You don't have

0:35:36.200 --> 0:35:39.040
<v Speaker 2>to throw into a Jeff Hafley defense with those dudes

0:35:39.040 --> 0:35:43.240
<v Speaker 2>in the secondary. For Ohio State, that's large. Shaye Patterson gone,

0:35:43.239 --> 0:35:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Michigan's defense new look, Michigan's offense new look, Donovan Peoples,

0:35:47.280 --> 0:35:50.160
<v Speaker 2>Jones gone. There's a lot to be I mean, Michigan State.

0:35:50.360 --> 0:35:52.719
<v Speaker 2>We have no idea what Sparty's gonna look like in

0:35:52.719 --> 0:35:55.120
<v Speaker 2>twenty twenty, who's coaching them, what systems they're gonna be

0:35:55.160 --> 0:35:57.640
<v Speaker 2>running on either side of the ball. So Penn State's

0:35:57.680 --> 0:36:01.480
<v Speaker 2>window outside of Yeses Fields and Ryan A are still

0:36:02.080 --> 0:36:06.160
<v Speaker 2>in Columbus. But even I can't imagine Ohio State's defense,

0:36:06.200 --> 0:36:09.040
<v Speaker 2>even if they're excellent, looks what looks like what it

0:36:09.080 --> 0:36:11.640
<v Speaker 2>did in twenty nineteen. So there's a window for Penn

0:36:11.680 --> 0:36:17.400
<v Speaker 2>State if Sean Clifford and Kirk Shiraka can make beautiful,

0:36:17.440 --> 0:36:19.040
<v Speaker 2>beautiful offensive magic together.

0:36:19.680 --> 0:36:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Let's talky about ASU. You mentioned ASU earlier. ASU a

0:36:25.040 --> 0:36:28.000
<v Speaker 1>seven and five regular season eight and five after winning

0:36:28.000 --> 0:36:31.720
<v Speaker 1>the Bowl over Florida State. Three of their five losses

0:36:31.760 --> 0:36:36.600
<v Speaker 1>were one possession games. It was a gritty team in general.

0:36:37.800 --> 0:36:40.759
<v Speaker 1>In general, I think ASU under her Edwards has been

0:36:40.800 --> 0:36:43.120
<v Speaker 1>a really good story, way better than we expected after

0:36:43.120 --> 0:36:44.879
<v Speaker 1>that weird press conference a couple of years ago.

0:36:45.000 --> 0:36:45.960
<v Speaker 2>I think that's reasonable.

0:36:46.080 --> 0:36:50.000
<v Speaker 1>It goes without saying another solid class this year so

0:36:50.200 --> 0:36:53.319
<v Speaker 1>things are going in a good direction, especially given that

0:36:53.360 --> 0:36:56.160
<v Speaker 1>they've got Jayden Daniels that they can build around again

0:36:56.200 --> 0:36:59.680
<v Speaker 1>freshman quarterbacks, seventeen touchdowns, only two picks as a true

0:36:59.680 --> 0:37:03.239
<v Speaker 1>fresh and he has a lot of the tools that

0:37:03.280 --> 0:37:04.560
<v Speaker 1>you like. There's reason to be.

0:37:04.520 --> 0:37:06.080
<v Speaker 2>Excited there, for sure.

0:37:06.480 --> 0:37:09.279
<v Speaker 1>I guess my bigger picture question, and I struggled with this,

0:37:10.520 --> 0:37:14.719
<v Speaker 1>is whether we feel ASU is truly complete enough at

0:37:14.719 --> 0:37:19.840
<v Speaker 1>this juncture to take that proverbial jump, like how open

0:37:20.160 --> 0:37:24.760
<v Speaker 1>really is the window? Because I don't remember a moment

0:37:24.800 --> 0:37:30.960
<v Speaker 1>outside of like September or maybe mid October where on

0:37:31.040 --> 0:37:33.560
<v Speaker 1>the show you and I were talking about ASU as

0:37:33.640 --> 0:37:37.080
<v Speaker 1>a genuinely good team that we weren't at all skeptical about.

0:37:37.239 --> 0:37:39.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I wasn't thrilled when they beat Oregon and

0:37:39.280 --> 0:37:42.480
<v Speaker 2>knocked him out of playoff contention in Tempe that Saturday night.

0:37:42.960 --> 0:37:47.080
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I think my disappointment was a backwards compliment

0:37:47.120 --> 0:37:49.560
<v Speaker 2>to how well they played and made those key passes

0:37:49.560 --> 0:37:51.799
<v Speaker 2>in those key moments that night. They lost four in

0:37:51.800 --> 0:37:54.160
<v Speaker 2>a row before that win over Oregon at home in

0:37:54.200 --> 0:37:57.600
<v Speaker 2>the Desert. But no, I think it's more of what

0:37:57.640 --> 0:38:02.400
<v Speaker 2>ASU has done in hiring. They've recruited well in southern California.

0:38:02.440 --> 0:38:06.040
<v Speaker 2>Now that there's that USC, UCLA recruiting vacuum for a

0:38:06.120 --> 0:38:08.719
<v Speaker 2>number of reasons, and I think they're just one of

0:38:08.760 --> 0:38:12.680
<v Speaker 2>those teams with now USC certainly looking really good on

0:38:12.760 --> 0:38:16.960
<v Speaker 2>offense but making changes on defense, Ucla not looking like

0:38:17.000 --> 0:38:19.799
<v Speaker 2>a contender. Utah should be once again very good, but

0:38:19.840 --> 0:38:21.919
<v Speaker 2>they have to make a change at quarterback. I guess

0:38:21.920 --> 0:38:24.399
<v Speaker 2>it might be Jake Bentley this year. We'll see who

0:38:24.480 --> 0:38:26.879
<v Speaker 2>ends up starting and winning that quarterback job for the Utes.

0:38:27.160 --> 0:38:30.840
<v Speaker 2>But in terms of opportunity, in terms of window, in

0:38:30.920 --> 0:38:33.279
<v Speaker 2>terms of talent level, and now in year three of

0:38:33.320 --> 0:38:35.680
<v Speaker 2>the Herm Edwards era, I don't think they have a

0:38:35.719 --> 0:38:38.960
<v Speaker 2>tough September. They have BYU before they have SC but

0:38:39.000 --> 0:38:42.600
<v Speaker 2>it's Oregon State, UCLA, Colorado, Wazoo. With a new coach,

0:38:42.719 --> 0:38:44.960
<v Speaker 2>cal should be pretty good. I know they're in Eugene,

0:38:45.080 --> 0:38:47.759
<v Speaker 2>but they have Utah at home, and Arizona is kind

0:38:47.800 --> 0:38:49.800
<v Speaker 2>of a and by kind of I mean a complete

0:38:49.880 --> 0:38:55.760
<v Speaker 2>mess in Tucson for the Territorial Cup. So schedule, quarterback continuity,

0:38:56.239 --> 0:38:59.600
<v Speaker 2>recruiting improvement. I think it's a really nice window for ASU.

0:38:59.640 --> 0:39:02.400
<v Speaker 2>I really like LV Bunkley Shelton. I know you like

0:39:02.560 --> 0:39:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Johnny Wilson, so Elijah Badger a pretty highly regarded recruit.

0:39:06.600 --> 0:39:08.480
<v Speaker 2>They did well on offense, they did pretty well upfront

0:39:08.520 --> 0:39:10.960
<v Speaker 2>on defense. I think I think AC was definitely a

0:39:11.000 --> 0:39:11.600
<v Speaker 2>window team.

0:39:12.160 --> 0:39:14.720
<v Speaker 1>I yeah, so you mentioned Johnny Wilson. I like Johnny Wilson,

0:39:15.160 --> 0:39:17.839
<v Speaker 1>big kid from your old stomping ground in southern California.

0:39:18.440 --> 0:39:21.360
<v Speaker 1>But I like the two tackle transfers coming in from

0:39:22.080 --> 0:39:24.799
<v Speaker 1>Stanford and Texas, A and M. They need the help

0:39:24.840 --> 0:39:28.440
<v Speaker 1>up front, they really need the help up front. And Herm.

0:39:28.480 --> 0:39:32.000
<v Speaker 1>I think when you look at the class, regardless of

0:39:32.040 --> 0:39:34.880
<v Speaker 1>whether or not you feel there's a legit window here,

0:39:35.560 --> 0:39:38.239
<v Speaker 1>Herm definitely made an effort to bring in some athletes

0:39:38.640 --> 0:39:40.799
<v Speaker 1>to give the offense a boost and just improve it

0:39:41.480 --> 0:39:43.360
<v Speaker 1>in as well rounded a fashion as he could. So

0:39:43.400 --> 0:39:45.600
<v Speaker 1>I think he did a good job. We can debate

0:39:45.640 --> 0:39:47.959
<v Speaker 1>the merits of that window at some other point in time,

0:39:48.000 --> 0:39:51.600
<v Speaker 1>but by a larger pretty good job. In let's face it.

0:39:51.640 --> 0:39:55.719
<v Speaker 1>A side of the conference that has so many questions.

0:39:56.239 --> 0:39:58.960
<v Speaker 1>We could do podcast upon podcasts talking about the questions

0:39:58.960 --> 0:39:59.879
<v Speaker 1>of the PAC twelve South.

0:40:00.120 --> 0:40:02.719
<v Speaker 2>Sure, let's keep looking at windows. We've got a big

0:40:02.840 --> 0:40:07.600
<v Speaker 2>round house what a roundhouse is called an igloo? Well, iglo, Yeah,

0:40:07.600 --> 0:40:09.200
<v Speaker 2>I think a yert. I'm looking that up.

0:40:09.239 --> 0:40:11.880
<v Speaker 1>So we have to have more window teams acc window

0:40:12.000 --> 0:40:18.279
<v Speaker 1>North Carolina. You're right, North Carolina, North Carolina. I'll say

0:40:18.320 --> 0:40:21.080
<v Speaker 1>it again. I think I said in the preseason that

0:40:21.160 --> 0:40:23.920
<v Speaker 1>if North Carolina got to four wins it would be

0:40:24.400 --> 0:40:28.440
<v Speaker 1>a crazy revelation. M hm and well and behold, Daniel,

0:40:28.480 --> 0:40:30.960
<v Speaker 1>this is a team that finished with six eventually won

0:40:31.000 --> 0:40:36.120
<v Speaker 1>the bowl game. Yep, and now they sit ahead of

0:40:36.120 --> 0:40:42.240
<v Speaker 1>Florida State. They finished third in acc recruiting, behind Clemson

0:40:43.000 --> 0:40:46.399
<v Speaker 1>and just a bit behind the Miami Hurricanes. So by

0:40:46.400 --> 0:40:49.960
<v Speaker 1>all accounts, they did very, very well. It helps to

0:40:49.960 --> 0:40:53.960
<v Speaker 1>have Sam Howell leading that charge at quarterback again, the

0:40:54.000 --> 0:40:57.000
<v Speaker 1>signal caller that you can build around. I saw an

0:40:57.040 --> 0:41:01.279
<v Speaker 1>effort here to boost defense. Yeah, yes, I think it's

0:41:01.280 --> 0:41:05.080
<v Speaker 1>a really good class in that respect. Desmond Evans and

0:41:05.280 --> 0:41:09.040
<v Speaker 1>Miles Murphy to four star defensive ends. They bring in

0:41:09.040 --> 0:41:12.799
<v Speaker 1>a four star tackle, they bring in two four star safeties.

0:41:13.360 --> 0:41:15.919
<v Speaker 1>Mac Brown knows that he needs to get better as

0:41:15.960 --> 0:41:18.480
<v Speaker 1>a defensive entity. It can't all be on the arm

0:41:18.520 --> 0:41:21.799
<v Speaker 1>of Sam Howell, and though he did add some pieces

0:41:22.520 --> 0:41:25.440
<v Speaker 1>along that offense that can help. What he did on

0:41:25.880 --> 0:41:27.600
<v Speaker 1>defense is definitely pretty striking.

0:41:28.200 --> 0:41:33.960
<v Speaker 2>Yes, I am excited for North Carolina football moving forward,

0:41:33.960 --> 0:41:35.560
<v Speaker 2>and it's been a little while since I was able

0:41:35.600 --> 0:41:39.520
<v Speaker 2>to say that. But with Virginia losing Bryce Perkins, with

0:41:39.880 --> 0:41:42.640
<v Speaker 2>Pitt's offense not really looking like it's going to do much,

0:41:42.680 --> 0:41:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Miami is still a huge question mark, even with de

0:41:44.600 --> 0:41:46.800
<v Speaker 2>Eric King, but that's a new system, new coordinator with

0:41:46.880 --> 0:41:50.160
<v Speaker 2>Rhet Lashley Duke seems to be not heading in the

0:41:50.200 --> 0:41:52.239
<v Speaker 2>right direction. Georgia Tech is going to take a while

0:41:52.280 --> 0:41:55.239
<v Speaker 2>longer the division for them. I mean, we'll see what

0:41:55.280 --> 0:41:58.040
<v Speaker 2>happens with Virginia Tech, but there's transition there among that

0:41:58.120 --> 0:42:01.920
<v Speaker 2>coaching staff. The window is right there for North Carolina

0:42:01.960 --> 0:42:05.640
<v Speaker 2>if Sam Howell, If samhow improves from being one of

0:42:05.680 --> 0:42:07.840
<v Speaker 2>the best I don't know, three freshman quarterbacks in the

0:42:07.840 --> 0:42:10.480
<v Speaker 2>country last year, depending on how everything falls for you

0:42:10.640 --> 0:42:14.160
<v Speaker 2>and Keton Slova's is in that conversation, Dylan Gabriel. But yeah,

0:42:14.239 --> 0:42:17.000
<v Speaker 2>they should be winning what you said they Their record

0:42:17.040 --> 0:42:19.279
<v Speaker 2>this past year was six A, six plus a winning

0:42:19.280 --> 0:42:19.520
<v Speaker 2>the ball.

0:42:19.680 --> 0:42:20.160
<v Speaker 1>That's correct.

0:42:20.239 --> 0:42:23.440
<v Speaker 2>Yep, they should be winning nine games next year. Yeah,

0:42:23.600 --> 0:42:26.040
<v Speaker 2>I don't have their non conference schedule in front of

0:42:26.080 --> 0:42:31.480
<v Speaker 2>if they if their defense can improve, especially what against

0:42:31.560 --> 0:42:33.840
<v Speaker 2>the pass, and I don't even love all the quarterbacks

0:42:33.880 --> 0:42:37.040
<v Speaker 2>they'll be facing, they become a pretty dangerous team.

0:42:37.520 --> 0:42:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Last window team here that'll throw out. Texas is back. Baby,

0:42:41.800 --> 0:42:44.880
<v Speaker 1>they got that window. They have that window. It made changes.

0:42:45.560 --> 0:42:49.759
<v Speaker 1>Texas is back. They made some changes. They won the

0:42:49.880 --> 0:42:55.439
<v Speaker 1>Big twelve recruiting race by a nose over the Oklahoma Sooners, right,

0:42:55.600 --> 0:42:57.640
<v Speaker 1>and it was It's an interesting class the way they

0:42:57.680 --> 0:43:00.400
<v Speaker 1>went about formulating this. So the their top prospect, as

0:43:00.440 --> 0:43:07.440
<v Speaker 1>I mentioned earlier, Bjean Robinson, a running back out of Tucson, Arizona. Yeah,

0:43:07.719 --> 0:43:12.759
<v Speaker 1>number one running back in the country. But beyond that,

0:43:13.000 --> 0:43:17.080
<v Speaker 1>they went out and made a very concerted effort to

0:43:17.160 --> 0:43:20.640
<v Speaker 1>try and secure a quarterback of the future. So Sam

0:43:20.680 --> 0:43:23.359
<v Speaker 1>How not going to be there forever. Sam How could

0:43:23.400 --> 0:43:27.080
<v Speaker 1>get hurt tomorrow even though he's been pretty durable. Hudson

0:43:27.160 --> 0:43:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Card and Jaquindin Jackson, Yeah, are.

0:43:30.080 --> 0:43:30.880
<v Speaker 2>The Hudson Card.

0:43:31.280 --> 0:43:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. There are two four star quarterbacks that they were

0:43:34.120 --> 0:43:36.920
<v Speaker 1>able to reel in from the state of Texas, in

0:43:36.920 --> 0:43:39.279
<v Speaker 1>addition to the other like sixteen recruits that they got

0:43:39.320 --> 0:43:42.400
<v Speaker 1>from the Great State of Texas. So that's all notable.

0:43:42.840 --> 0:43:45.040
<v Speaker 1>I think that bubbles to the surface and it definitely

0:43:45.120 --> 0:43:48.840
<v Speaker 1>stands out on the top line. But they need defense.

0:43:49.440 --> 0:43:53.719
<v Speaker 1>This is a class that you can only construct if

0:43:53.760 --> 0:43:56.239
<v Speaker 1>you know you need defense. I don't know how else

0:43:56.280 --> 0:43:58.880
<v Speaker 1>to put it in. I'm looking at how they did this,

0:43:58.920 --> 0:44:02.400
<v Speaker 1>how they broke it down by the numbers. I see

0:44:02.440 --> 0:44:07.959
<v Speaker 1>a lot at defensive line, linebacker, defensive back, Yeah, even

0:44:07.960 --> 0:44:09.480
<v Speaker 1>in the trenches on the offensive line.

0:44:09.560 --> 0:44:11.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they focused at offensive skill these past couple of

0:44:11.800 --> 0:44:14.480
<v Speaker 2>years and even felt like they focused on the secondary

0:44:14.480 --> 0:44:16.960
<v Speaker 2>a couple of years ago with a ridiculous class and

0:44:17.600 --> 0:44:21.680
<v Speaker 2>strong at safety this year. And they have a window,

0:44:22.040 --> 0:44:24.200
<v Speaker 2>I mean essentially, because we don't know what to expect

0:44:24.239 --> 0:44:27.400
<v Speaker 2>out of presumably Spencer Rattler at Oklahoma. We have a

0:44:27.480 --> 0:44:30.400
<v Speaker 2>number of second year guys in the conference. Sam Allinger's

0:44:30.440 --> 0:44:34.239
<v Speaker 2>back for his seventeenth year. If there is going to

0:44:34.280 --> 0:44:36.280
<v Speaker 2>be a season in which they put it all together,

0:44:36.360 --> 0:44:39.040
<v Speaker 2>and the guys that you are mentioning these are probably

0:44:39.120 --> 0:44:42.600
<v Speaker 2>rotation guys because all healthy Texas has a good amount

0:44:42.600 --> 0:44:44.719
<v Speaker 2>of talent on both sides of the ball. But the

0:44:44.760 --> 0:44:47.200
<v Speaker 2>window is there that even if these rotation guys work

0:44:47.239 --> 0:44:49.920
<v Speaker 2>out as true freshmen. They should be in a really

0:44:49.960 --> 0:44:53.439
<v Speaker 2>good spot. I'm not sure who you're terrified of right now.

0:44:53.800 --> 0:44:57.520
<v Speaker 2>With Baylor, who was really really strong last year. They're

0:44:57.560 --> 0:44:59.560
<v Speaker 2>working in a new coach and we'll see what this

0:44:59.640 --> 0:45:02.160
<v Speaker 2>offense looks like. Defense, they should be very strong once again,

0:45:02.160 --> 0:45:06.200
<v Speaker 2>I would imagine TCU I don't feel great about right now.

0:45:06.480 --> 0:45:09.439
<v Speaker 2>West Virginia I think still has a ways. Kansas State,

0:45:10.200 --> 0:45:14.000
<v Speaker 2>Texas has a such like their window is so obvious,

0:45:14.280 --> 0:45:17.160
<v Speaker 2>which should be terrifying for for Longhorn fans.

0:45:17.239 --> 0:45:18.239
<v Speaker 1>What else do we got here?

0:45:19.400 --> 0:45:22.439
<v Speaker 2>So we've alluded to some teams with new coaches, new

0:45:22.440 --> 0:45:26.560
<v Speaker 2>building crews, tie just learning the architecture, looking at the blueprints,

0:45:26.600 --> 0:45:29.040
<v Speaker 2>figuring out their own blueprints. They have to know where

0:45:29.080 --> 0:45:31.200
<v Speaker 2>beams are going at this new place. They have to

0:45:31.239 --> 0:45:34.600
<v Speaker 2>know the plumbing, the electricity. They're learning on the job.

0:45:34.640 --> 0:45:37.200
<v Speaker 2>They haven't had much time to piece together these classes,

0:45:37.480 --> 0:45:39.279
<v Speaker 2>but I think it's important and we talked about this

0:45:39.320 --> 0:45:40.880
<v Speaker 2>once again a couple months ago when we did our

0:45:40.920 --> 0:45:44.360
<v Speaker 2>early signing day show Ole miss lower part of the SEC.

0:45:44.840 --> 0:45:47.360
<v Speaker 2>In terms of recruiting class under Lane Kiffin, they focused

0:45:47.400 --> 0:45:49.799
<v Speaker 2>on the trenches and in the secondary I know You'd

0:45:49.800 --> 0:45:53.399
<v Speaker 2>love to call them demon clowney, but it's demonologize tie.

0:45:53.920 --> 0:45:57.520
<v Speaker 2>I know, and I think promising thing for ole Miss

0:45:57.560 --> 0:45:59.480
<v Speaker 2>is one The defense took a nice step forward last

0:45:59.520 --> 0:46:02.560
<v Speaker 2>year under Mine McIntyre. It's Dj Dirkin at least as

0:46:02.600 --> 0:46:05.840
<v Speaker 2>the co defensive coordinator, and even with all of the

0:46:05.960 --> 0:46:09.880
<v Speaker 2>legitimate baggage he brings along with his name, they should

0:46:09.880 --> 0:46:12.280
<v Speaker 2>have a good defense. He's been a good defensive coordinator

0:46:12.280 --> 0:46:15.320
<v Speaker 2>along the way, or they should have an improving defense.

0:46:15.560 --> 0:46:17.879
<v Speaker 2>Last year was a huge class, like thirty thirty one

0:46:17.920 --> 0:46:20.600
<v Speaker 2>guys under Matt Luke, and it's around the same talent

0:46:20.719 --> 0:46:23.200
<v Speaker 2>level this year. Jerry and Eely obviously made an early

0:46:23.200 --> 0:46:27.239
<v Speaker 2>impact for the Rebels, and they've been pretty pretty active

0:46:27.280 --> 0:46:29.680
<v Speaker 2>on the transfer market. Brought in a couple tight ends

0:46:30.080 --> 0:46:32.719
<v Speaker 2>safety from Georgia. They convinced some of their guys that

0:46:32.840 --> 0:46:35.239
<v Speaker 2>enter the transfer portal to come back to Oxford. So

0:46:36.080 --> 0:46:39.560
<v Speaker 2>ole Miss pretty good. I think Lane Kiffin should probably

0:46:39.640 --> 0:46:42.840
<v Speaker 2>continue to do a good I would imagine top eighteen

0:46:42.960 --> 0:46:46.480
<v Speaker 2>classes for Lane Kiffin moving forward, considering his record as

0:46:46.520 --> 0:46:48.680
<v Speaker 2>a recruiter and what ole Miss is at least near

0:46:49.239 --> 0:46:52.759
<v Speaker 2>recruiting wise, staying in state. Mike Leach pretty similar. The

0:46:52.880 --> 0:46:55.560
<v Speaker 2>jewel of this class probably a manual Forbes. They need

0:46:55.600 --> 0:46:57.719
<v Speaker 2>all the help they can get in the secondary for

0:46:57.800 --> 0:47:00.600
<v Speaker 2>what we did or didn't see from from the Dogs

0:47:00.680 --> 0:47:04.399
<v Speaker 2>last year. Jordan Davis I think is a Juco guy,

0:47:04.840 --> 0:47:07.280
<v Speaker 2>and it was again, if they can pressure the quarterback,

0:47:07.360 --> 0:47:09.360
<v Speaker 2>that's better than what they were able to do for

0:47:09.440 --> 0:47:12.280
<v Speaker 2>much of twenty nineteen. kJ Costello is the big recruit.

0:47:12.440 --> 0:47:15.000
<v Speaker 2>We alluded to him earlier. That's the big recruit form

0:47:15.000 --> 0:47:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Mississippi State this year. How quickly can he get comfortable

0:47:18.040 --> 0:47:20.960
<v Speaker 2>in what everybody that has played for him has said

0:47:21.280 --> 0:47:24.839
<v Speaker 2>is the most simple offense imaginable the air raid Mike

0:47:24.920 --> 0:47:29.600
<v Speaker 2>Leach's version of the air raid. And Felipe Franks also

0:47:29.880 --> 0:47:33.400
<v Speaker 2>in the conference going to Arkansas, So at least there's

0:47:33.480 --> 0:47:37.920
<v Speaker 2>somewhat recruiting wise interesting quarterbacks heading to the SEC West

0:47:38.239 --> 0:47:41.400
<v Speaker 2>and Scott Lashley another guy coming in, a former Alabama

0:47:41.440 --> 0:47:45.440
<v Speaker 2>blue chip offensive lineman to fortify Mississippi State upfront. Will

0:47:45.440 --> 0:47:48.320
<v Speaker 2>stay in the SEC missoo also the lower part of

0:47:48.360 --> 0:47:52.200
<v Speaker 2>the SEC. But Ty, if you can please play Eli

0:47:52.320 --> 0:47:54.480
<v Speaker 2>Drinkwitz absolutely losing his markets.

0:47:54.520 --> 0:47:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Oh this is great.

0:48:07.320 --> 0:48:11.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So that is that is id tie. That is pure,

0:48:12.239 --> 0:48:15.959
<v Speaker 2>unfiltered id over a. I don't think he's a blue

0:48:15.960 --> 0:48:18.319
<v Speaker 2>star corner, but a corner who chose Maszoo and had

0:48:18.360 --> 0:48:22.040
<v Speaker 2>some laid offers from big places and so I respect it. Tie.

0:48:22.480 --> 0:48:26.759
<v Speaker 2>It was the adult version of do you remember the

0:48:26.840 --> 0:48:31.080
<v Speaker 2>video where the kid gets the Super Nintendo for Christmas? Oh?

0:48:31.239 --> 0:48:32.719
<v Speaker 2>I mean it was a little Howard Dean in there

0:48:32.800 --> 0:48:36.240
<v Speaker 2>wasn't there. It was Howard Dean put into a blender

0:48:36.520 --> 0:48:40.560
<v Speaker 2>with the spirit of whatever that video it was Super

0:48:40.600 --> 0:48:44.080
<v Speaker 2>Soaker or a Supernintendo was something super. Yeah, Yeah, I love that.

0:48:44.120 --> 0:48:48.000
<v Speaker 2>Eli Drinkwitz is amped on this signing day. They bring

0:48:48.000 --> 0:48:51.399
<v Speaker 2>in Damon Hazelton, which I think is something he led

0:48:51.480 --> 0:48:54.160
<v Speaker 2>Virginia Tech and targets and touchdowns last year. At receiver,

0:48:55.800 --> 0:48:58.040
<v Speaker 2>it was not a great class last year. They brought

0:48:58.040 --> 0:49:00.920
<v Speaker 2>in some defensive back, so this year's class was pretty

0:49:00.920 --> 0:49:03.000
<v Speaker 2>even all over the place, pretty spread out. They did

0:49:03.000 --> 0:49:06.120
<v Speaker 2>focus a little bit on receiver, so I suppose we'll

0:49:06.160 --> 0:49:08.360
<v Speaker 2>see Missoo has a lot to work on after what

0:49:08.360 --> 0:49:11.040
<v Speaker 2>they finished looking like last year. Washington is on the

0:49:11.080 --> 0:49:14.120
<v Speaker 2>other end of things, Tye. We've talked about Jimmy Lake

0:49:14.160 --> 0:49:18.279
<v Speaker 2>a little bit, but this class was really strong. From

0:49:18.320 --> 0:49:20.959
<v Speaker 2>the Huskies and from Jimmy Lake. I'm still a little

0:49:21.000 --> 0:49:23.640
<v Speaker 2>bit out on the offensive coordinator higher John Donovan. You

0:49:23.920 --> 0:49:26.440
<v Speaker 2>probably have more thoughts about that than I do. But

0:49:26.800 --> 0:49:32.280
<v Speaker 2>Savelle Small's ed rusher who looks to be a nationally

0:49:32.360 --> 0:49:34.560
<v Speaker 2>elite edge rusher. I know he disappointed a little bit

0:49:34.640 --> 0:49:37.480
<v Speaker 2>at the All Star Games, but looks to be another

0:49:37.640 --> 0:49:41.000
<v Speaker 2>great Washington defensive player. Jalen McMillan, I know everybody in

0:49:41.000 --> 0:49:43.479
<v Speaker 2>the country wanted at receiver. Ethan Garbers is the younger

0:49:43.520 --> 0:49:47.360
<v Speaker 2>brother of Chase Garber's. Yes there is another, and that

0:49:47.560 --> 0:49:51.880
<v Speaker 2>Washington quarterback job is pretty open. Jacob Sermon, Dylan Morris,

0:49:52.200 --> 0:49:54.399
<v Speaker 2>Chase Garber's, we'll see. They all sound like West Coast

0:49:54.480 --> 0:49:57.440
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks to me. They did lose out on kJ Costello.

0:49:57.600 --> 0:49:59.719
<v Speaker 2>That's a name that we have said a lot this episode.

0:50:00.080 --> 0:50:03.520
<v Speaker 2>Last's class was also incredible, especially upfront on defense. So

0:50:04.120 --> 0:50:06.680
<v Speaker 2>just from a pure s talent talent standpoint, excuse me.

0:50:06.920 --> 0:50:11.400
<v Speaker 2>The Washington building crew, they have an understanding for the neighborhood,

0:50:11.719 --> 0:50:16.719
<v Speaker 2>for permits, for laws, for gardening, whatever needs to happen

0:50:16.760 --> 0:50:17.440
<v Speaker 2>at Washington.

0:50:17.520 --> 0:50:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Let me let me fast forward jump in over some

0:50:19.560 --> 0:50:21.560
<v Speaker 1>of the other teams I know we have listed. Yeah,

0:50:21.719 --> 0:50:26.560
<v Speaker 1>Florida State. Yes, Florida State, as we mentioned earlier, came

0:50:26.600 --> 0:50:31.640
<v Speaker 1>in behind North Carolina in terms of ACC recruiting. We

0:50:31.719 --> 0:50:35.200
<v Speaker 1>know there's work to do there. What did you see

0:50:36.120 --> 0:50:37.160
<v Speaker 1>from that building crew?

0:50:38.239 --> 0:50:41.400
<v Speaker 2>Obviously late for Mike Norvell coming into the process, not

0:50:41.480 --> 0:50:43.919
<v Speaker 2>there for the early signing period, but a pretty good

0:50:44.080 --> 0:50:45.880
<v Speaker 2>but not great. I think they finished fourth in the

0:50:45.880 --> 0:50:49.960
<v Speaker 2>ACC twentieth nationally at least in that area. The focus,

0:50:50.080 --> 0:50:52.440
<v Speaker 2>rightfully so, was on the offensive line, a little bit

0:50:52.480 --> 0:50:54.680
<v Speaker 2>on receiver Chubb a party I think is the headline

0:50:54.719 --> 0:50:57.040
<v Speaker 2>name along with the Morey Tates. Purdy is the younger

0:50:57.080 --> 0:51:00.279
<v Speaker 2>brother of Brock. He was committed to Louisville forever and

0:51:00.320 --> 0:51:04.200
<v Speaker 2>he flipped to Florida State late in the process. It

0:51:04.239 --> 0:51:06.919
<v Speaker 2>was an active year in both directions from Florida State,

0:51:07.000 --> 0:51:10.439
<v Speaker 2>both coming and going. They lost a couple of blue

0:51:10.520 --> 0:51:14.120
<v Speaker 2>chip receivers or pass catchers and a tight end to

0:51:14.320 --> 0:51:16.520
<v Speaker 2>who left for Georgia and a receiver who went back

0:51:16.520 --> 0:51:18.719
<v Speaker 2>to the West Coast to Oregon State. But they bring

0:51:18.719 --> 0:51:21.800
<v Speaker 2>in Jayshawn Corbyn from Texas A and m The class

0:51:21.840 --> 0:51:24.440
<v Speaker 2>wasn't where it was last year, but I imagine with

0:51:24.520 --> 0:51:27.200
<v Speaker 2>a full cycle, Florida State should at least be back

0:51:27.200 --> 0:51:31.920
<v Speaker 2>in that top dozen conversation. Okay, interesting I mentioned Rutgers

0:51:31.920 --> 0:51:34.520
<v Speaker 2>Boston College. There's not too much talk about They focused

0:51:34.520 --> 0:51:38.960
<v Speaker 2>on the offensive line. We'll see, and Wazoo is the

0:51:39.160 --> 0:51:40.920
<v Speaker 2>I think the lower part of the Pac twelve in

0:51:41.000 --> 0:51:43.800
<v Speaker 2>terms of talent. But Jaden to Laura same high school

0:51:43.960 --> 0:51:48.120
<v Speaker 2>as to a tongue of Iiloa Marcus Mariota in Hawaii,

0:51:48.200 --> 0:51:50.520
<v Speaker 2>So that makes sense with Nick Rolovich being a good fit,

0:51:50.560 --> 0:51:53.040
<v Speaker 2>although he signed I think before Nick Rolovich took the job.

0:51:53.120 --> 0:51:56.400
<v Speaker 2>So nothing too exciting transfer wise. It was the worst

0:51:56.400 --> 0:51:59.120
<v Speaker 2>class in the conference in twenty nineteen, so if they

0:51:59.120 --> 0:52:01.279
<v Speaker 2>can at least get to me, maybe it's just a

0:52:01.320 --> 0:52:03.680
<v Speaker 2>tough place to recruit to in terms of available talent,

0:52:03.760 --> 0:52:06.319
<v Speaker 2>high end talent, but you know, ninth or tenth in

0:52:06.360 --> 0:52:09.200
<v Speaker 2>the conference, we'll see, I think it can be pretty dangerous.

0:52:09.680 --> 0:52:13.840
<v Speaker 1>So one thing that we kind of alluded to here, yeah,

0:52:14.800 --> 0:52:17.440
<v Speaker 1>is turn key solutions.

0:52:17.880 --> 0:52:20.279
<v Speaker 2>Yes, always nice when you can just walk in and

0:52:20.320 --> 0:52:21.000
<v Speaker 2>there's your house.

0:52:21.080 --> 0:52:24.799
<v Speaker 1>You can walk in, there's your house. And we have

0:52:24.960 --> 0:52:29.600
<v Speaker 1>seen this, I think slowly develop over the course of

0:52:29.640 --> 0:52:31.520
<v Speaker 1>the last ten years certainly in the time that we've

0:52:31.560 --> 0:52:35.719
<v Speaker 1>been doing this podcast. But freshman quarterbacks are coming into

0:52:36.320 --> 0:52:40.520
<v Speaker 1>the college ranks much better prepared than ever before, and

0:52:40.640 --> 0:52:44.279
<v Speaker 1>so to have freshmen standouts like we saw this past

0:52:44.360 --> 0:52:48.000
<v Speaker 1>year a good number of them. Really, it's becoming far

0:52:48.080 --> 0:52:52.320
<v Speaker 1>more common. It's always exciting, but it stands to reason

0:52:52.360 --> 0:52:54.960
<v Speaker 1>that some of the names coming in this year, given

0:52:54.960 --> 0:52:57.560
<v Speaker 1>the fact that we've got questions around college football at

0:52:57.560 --> 0:53:00.719
<v Speaker 1>many starting quarterback positions, some of these guys could be

0:53:00.719 --> 0:53:03.319
<v Speaker 1>in a position to really make an immediate impact. So

0:53:04.640 --> 0:53:07.799
<v Speaker 1>give me, give me three names. I have three and

0:53:07.800 --> 0:53:12.600
<v Speaker 1>a half. I'll say on my list of freshman quarterbacks

0:53:12.640 --> 0:53:15.360
<v Speaker 1>that you look at the situation, you look at what

0:53:15.440 --> 0:53:18.200
<v Speaker 1>they bring to the table, and you could say, yeah,

0:53:18.200 --> 0:53:21.560
<v Speaker 1>I could see that quarterback either coming in and outright

0:53:21.600 --> 0:53:25.239
<v Speaker 1>winning the job or winning the job by say week

0:53:25.239 --> 0:53:27.560
<v Speaker 1>four or five. You got any names that jump out.

0:53:27.480 --> 0:53:32.800
<v Speaker 2>To you, There's nothing super obvious. Bryce Young is. Everything

0:53:32.840 --> 0:53:35.839
<v Speaker 2>I've heard about him is he's twitchy, he has that

0:53:35.880 --> 0:53:38.280
<v Speaker 2>special potential. Maybe he's a little bit like Kyler Murray.

0:53:38.280 --> 0:53:40.320
<v Speaker 2>He's not huge. He's gonna get that comparison because I

0:53:40.360 --> 0:53:42.760
<v Speaker 2>think he's under six feet tall, But He's still finished

0:53:42.760 --> 0:53:45.640
<v Speaker 2>as the number one quarterback in the nation. And while

0:53:45.880 --> 0:53:48.400
<v Speaker 2>I think mac Jones gave Nick Saban and the offensive

0:53:48.400 --> 0:53:50.480
<v Speaker 2>staff every reason to think that he can win a

0:53:50.560 --> 0:53:54.840
<v Speaker 2>lot of games for Alabama, he's not obvious obvious obvious,

0:53:54.920 --> 0:53:57.279
<v Speaker 2>like you know toul was before him when healthy. So

0:53:57.280 --> 0:53:59.680
<v Speaker 2>I think Bryce Young is certainly he's going to see

0:53:59.680 --> 0:54:03.800
<v Speaker 2>the feet in some fashion. There are quarterbacks that I feel,

0:54:03.920 --> 0:54:07.360
<v Speaker 2>if they are thrust into a situation because of injury

0:54:07.480 --> 0:54:11.480
<v Speaker 2>or something happening to a starter, will miss limited beats.

0:54:11.719 --> 0:54:15.640
<v Speaker 2>You know. It's dj ouyong Lele Well, I'm just Dju

0:54:15.920 --> 0:54:18.480
<v Speaker 2>for Clemson, who's just built like a tank. He's like

0:54:18.520 --> 0:54:22.360
<v Speaker 2>six five, two fifty. You know. Luke Dody is interesting

0:54:22.360 --> 0:54:26.120
<v Speaker 2>to me at South Carolina because Ryan Halensky wasn't amazing,

0:54:26.640 --> 0:54:29.680
<v Speaker 2>you know, being thrown into the fire as a true freshman.

0:54:29.719 --> 0:54:32.320
<v Speaker 2>So we'll see there and physically I don't think he's huge,

0:54:32.360 --> 0:54:35.719
<v Speaker 2>but we'll see he's well regarded. Ethan Garber's is a

0:54:35.800 --> 0:54:38.279
<v Speaker 2>name that I know, our friend Yogi Roth really likes

0:54:38.320 --> 0:54:40.960
<v Speaker 2>a lot. And it's tough to expect a true freshman

0:54:41.040 --> 0:54:43.879
<v Speaker 2>to just win a job outright immediately. It happens we've

0:54:43.960 --> 0:54:46.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, Sam Howell is a best case scenario, Dylan

0:54:46.840 --> 0:54:49.759
<v Speaker 2>Gabriel a best case scenario beating out Brandon Wimbush last year.

0:54:50.200 --> 0:54:52.440
<v Speaker 2>But there's nobody that I think is going to that

0:54:52.560 --> 0:54:55.600
<v Speaker 2>is so good right now. And I guess, you know,

0:54:55.760 --> 0:54:58.360
<v Speaker 2>Chabba party, we'll see. It's not like anybody at Florida

0:54:58.360 --> 0:55:01.080
<v Speaker 2>State is incredible and has a lock on that job.

0:55:01.640 --> 0:55:04.680
<v Speaker 2>But there's nobody right now to me that says, okay,

0:55:04.719 --> 0:55:08.799
<v Speaker 2>they are immediately displacing a presume starter or somebody who

0:55:08.880 --> 0:55:11.600
<v Speaker 2>has been waiting in the wings. But you know, at

0:55:11.600 --> 0:55:13.600
<v Speaker 2>the top of this class, there's enough talent there at

0:55:13.640 --> 0:55:16.719
<v Speaker 2>quarterback where yeah, if something happens to a starter, they

0:55:16.719 --> 0:55:18.439
<v Speaker 2>can come in and uh and move the ball.

0:55:18.960 --> 0:55:21.560
<v Speaker 1>So Bryce Young is the one that jumps out. Bryce Young,

0:55:21.719 --> 0:55:25.120
<v Speaker 1>as he said, he's a slighter build, five to eleven.

0:55:26.680 --> 0:55:30.399
<v Speaker 1>He's headed to Alabama, and of course Mac Jones is there.

0:55:30.440 --> 0:55:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Mac Jones is gonna have a thing or two to

0:55:32.000 --> 0:55:35.160
<v Speaker 1>say about who gets that job. But you could see

0:55:35.160 --> 0:55:37.680
<v Speaker 1>a situation where they play Bryce Young because he does

0:55:38.280 --> 0:55:42.000
<v Speaker 1>bring an interesting skill set. From everything I've read about him,

0:55:42.080 --> 0:55:46.000
<v Speaker 1>he is pretty much unflappable. M He does have a

0:55:46.040 --> 0:55:49.160
<v Speaker 1>slider frame, but he seems to play his best when

0:55:49.200 --> 0:55:52.799
<v Speaker 1>the pocket breaks down. Like most of these quarterbacks, his

0:55:52.880 --> 0:55:55.880
<v Speaker 1>deep ball could be improved upon. But the comp that

0:55:55.960 --> 0:56:00.360
<v Speaker 1>I saw was Russell Wilson. Wow, and that maybe a

0:56:00.360 --> 0:56:02.560
<v Speaker 1>smaller version of Russell Wilson at this point he needs

0:56:02.560 --> 0:56:05.919
<v Speaker 1>to fill out. He's only eighteen. But yeah, nonetheless, that's all. Yeah,

0:56:05.960 --> 0:56:08.400
<v Speaker 1>that's a pretty good comp if you're getting that kind

0:56:08.440 --> 0:56:11.239
<v Speaker 1>of quarterback. So it's tough to take a guy like

0:56:11.320 --> 0:56:14.120
<v Speaker 1>that into a situation like Alabama where he does have

0:56:14.120 --> 0:56:16.600
<v Speaker 1>such a good supporting cast and not at least think

0:56:16.640 --> 0:56:20.359
<v Speaker 1>about it. Yeah, that's intriguing to me. Another one here

0:56:20.360 --> 0:56:23.000
<v Speaker 1>that I'll throw out. We even talked a lot about

0:56:23.000 --> 0:56:26.080
<v Speaker 1>Georgia even though they got the number one class.

0:56:25.719 --> 0:56:28.919
<v Speaker 2>And Jamie Newman Jamie Newman as well.

0:56:29.360 --> 0:56:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Jamie Newman comes over from Lake Forest. He is a transfer,

0:56:32.400 --> 0:56:37.560
<v Speaker 1>but Carson Beck is their prize quarterback in this class.

0:56:37.600 --> 0:56:40.640
<v Speaker 1>He's a four star. He was mister football, as they

0:56:40.680 --> 0:56:44.520
<v Speaker 1>all are in the great State of Florida. Hails from Jacksonville.

0:56:45.040 --> 0:56:48.760
<v Speaker 1>He's a different quarterback, right. He's not Bryce young at all.

0:56:48.800 --> 0:56:51.160
<v Speaker 1>He's six four and a half two twenty six. He's

0:56:51.719 --> 0:56:54.880
<v Speaker 1>a much bigger kid. The comp I saw for him

0:56:54.960 --> 0:56:56.719
<v Speaker 1>was Deshaun Kaiser on twenty four to seven.

0:56:57.400 --> 0:56:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Okay, big arm.

0:56:59.040 --> 0:57:02.440
<v Speaker 1>And I wrestled with that little bit, and I was wondering,

0:57:02.520 --> 0:57:04.840
<v Speaker 1>if you put the Sean Kaiser in that Georgia offense,

0:57:04.880 --> 0:57:05.440
<v Speaker 1>how would they do.

0:57:06.480 --> 0:57:07.279
<v Speaker 2>Hey do pretty well.

0:57:07.320 --> 0:57:10.320
<v Speaker 1>I think he's got a pretty good supporting cast already.

0:57:10.480 --> 0:57:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Obviously the recruiting has been there, and if the Jamie

0:57:13.600 --> 0:57:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Newman thing doesn't work out, you could definitely see a

0:57:17.160 --> 0:57:20.640
<v Speaker 1>situation where Kirby Smart hands the keys over to someone

0:57:20.640 --> 0:57:23.400
<v Speaker 1>who's going to do enough to get the ball to

0:57:23.440 --> 0:57:26.600
<v Speaker 1>playmakers and turn the ball over to defense and win

0:57:26.640 --> 0:57:29.760
<v Speaker 1>a lot of football games. So that's an interesting situation

0:57:29.800 --> 0:57:31.760
<v Speaker 1>because there's a supporting cast.

0:57:32.320 --> 0:57:36.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, absolutely no, He'll have good receivers. George Pickens obviously

0:57:36.280 --> 0:57:40.120
<v Speaker 2>highlights the situation in Athens and the other advantages. It's

0:57:40.160 --> 0:57:43.080
<v Speaker 2>not like an offensive coordinator comes in with his guy

0:57:43.200 --> 0:57:45.800
<v Speaker 2>preconceived notions. Todd Monkin is new. This is a new

0:57:45.840 --> 0:57:48.640
<v Speaker 2>offense we're assuming for Georgia. And I'm actually going to

0:57:48.680 --> 0:57:50.800
<v Speaker 2>stay in the state because of Jeff Simms and he

0:57:50.840 --> 0:57:54.320
<v Speaker 2>was committed to Florida State now Georgia Tech, And if

0:57:54.320 --> 0:57:57.040
<v Speaker 2>you watched Georgia Tech football last year, you didn't come

0:57:57.080 --> 0:58:00.600
<v Speaker 2>away thinking, man, do they have passing figured out?

0:58:01.240 --> 0:58:01.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? No.

0:58:02.120 --> 0:58:05.240
<v Speaker 2>And Jeff Simms, the four star quarterback I think from Florida.

0:58:05.280 --> 0:58:08.200
<v Speaker 2>He's skinny, but the ball flies off of his hand.

0:58:08.400 --> 0:58:10.720
<v Speaker 2>I like watching him a lot than the limited amount

0:58:10.720 --> 0:58:12.240
<v Speaker 2>of tape I've seen on him. I think he'll at

0:58:12.280 --> 0:58:15.200
<v Speaker 2>least compete. I think he has an opportunity because of

0:58:15.440 --> 0:58:18.040
<v Speaker 2>how much they're still overhauling the offense in Atlanta to

0:58:18.520 --> 0:58:19.120
<v Speaker 2>see some time.

0:58:20.120 --> 0:58:23.000
<v Speaker 1>The one that I am super intrigued by is Harrison

0:58:23.000 --> 0:58:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Bailey at Tennessee. Okay, so Tennessee still has Jared Guarantano obviously,

0:58:31.720 --> 0:58:35.800
<v Speaker 1>and Jared Garantano has been all over the map. Sometimes

0:58:35.800 --> 0:58:38.480
<v Speaker 1>he's been really good, other times he's been really bad.

0:58:38.800 --> 0:58:42.720
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if this is a situation where Harrison

0:58:42.800 --> 0:58:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Bailey comes in and plays right away. I don't think

0:58:46.080 --> 0:58:50.520
<v Speaker 1>it is. But he's a four star kid out of Marietta, Georgia.

0:58:51.120 --> 0:58:56.520
<v Speaker 1>He's got prototypical size. The comp I saw was Kyle Orton,

0:58:57.680 --> 0:58:59.960
<v Speaker 1>who's really good in college. If you remember Kyle True,

0:59:00.120 --> 0:59:05.640
<v Speaker 1>he absolutely was. He by all accounts is the kind

0:59:05.680 --> 0:59:09.439
<v Speaker 1>of guy who could thrive in a situation where he's

0:59:09.480 --> 0:59:13.040
<v Speaker 1>playing off a lot of play action. And it seems

0:59:13.080 --> 0:59:16.160
<v Speaker 1>to me like that's a spot at Tennessee that that

0:59:16.200 --> 0:59:19.120
<v Speaker 1>could suit him well. If it falls through with Guarantano

0:59:19.920 --> 0:59:23.840
<v Speaker 1>and if Harrison Bailey is given an opportunity, that's another

0:59:23.880 --> 0:59:27.360
<v Speaker 1>situation where really good recruiting class. There's a lot to

0:59:27.480 --> 0:59:29.480
<v Speaker 1>like about the way Tennessee played second half of the

0:59:29.560 --> 0:59:33.880
<v Speaker 1>year last season, and that's an interesting situation to me

0:59:33.920 --> 0:59:35.000
<v Speaker 1>as someone who could come in.

0:59:36.120 --> 0:59:39.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and big dude, physically he seems to be there.

0:59:39.240 --> 0:59:41.080
<v Speaker 2>It's how quickly can you pick up the offense? How

0:59:41.160 --> 0:59:44.920
<v Speaker 2>quickly you know, just being thrust as into the starting

0:59:45.000 --> 0:59:47.920
<v Speaker 2>quarterback at Tennessee. It's a lot to ask Yoh for

0:59:48.000 --> 0:59:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Shan Georgia playing Florida, Yeah, this is this is a

0:59:50.920 --> 0:59:55.320
<v Speaker 2>lot playing South Carolina's defense. I wouldn't envy a situation

0:59:55.520 --> 0:59:57.760
<v Speaker 2>like that, no matter how physically ready he may seem.

0:59:57.760 --> 1:00:01.439
<v Speaker 2>I think Jarrett Garant Guarantano has that that job on lock.

1:00:01.520 --> 1:00:03.400
<v Speaker 2>But we've seen bad Jarrett.

1:00:03.600 --> 1:00:04.320
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it's exactly.

1:00:04.360 --> 1:00:07.000
<v Speaker 2>It's ugly. It's really ly, so we could I could

1:00:07.000 --> 1:00:09.080
<v Speaker 2>see reps be it in garbage time, be it against

1:00:09.080 --> 1:00:11.640
<v Speaker 2>some smaller teams early, sure we could. We should be

1:00:11.640 --> 1:00:13.920
<v Speaker 2>able to see something from him, even though there's a

1:00:13.960 --> 1:00:16.360
<v Speaker 2>couple of a couple of guys ahead of him right

1:00:16.360 --> 1:00:17.200
<v Speaker 2>now in the depth chart.

1:00:17.480 --> 1:00:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Now the name and I said three and a half.

1:00:19.280 --> 1:00:22.840
<v Speaker 1>The final name I'll throw out here. I really want

1:00:22.840 --> 1:00:24.720
<v Speaker 1>to say Deuce Hogan at Iowa.

1:00:24.840 --> 1:00:26.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, just because his name is Deuce Hogan.

1:00:26.840 --> 1:00:29.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't honestly believe that this is going to be

1:00:29.600 --> 1:00:32.720
<v Speaker 1>a situation where he's going to do anything other than

1:00:32.760 --> 1:00:33.400
<v Speaker 1>red shirt.

1:00:33.600 --> 1:00:35.400
<v Speaker 2>I want to move on to teams because I have

1:00:35.440 --> 1:00:39.280
<v Speaker 2>a natural transition from this discussion point that are desperate

1:00:40.000 --> 1:00:43.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, or updating and remodeling. Ty, you you've been

1:00:43.880 --> 1:00:46.320
<v Speaker 2>in houses. I've been in houses. You walk in You're like, oh,

1:00:46.360 --> 1:00:49.840
<v Speaker 2>you love nineteen ninety two. You really loved what nineteen

1:00:49.920 --> 1:00:53.840
<v Speaker 2>ninety two look like where it's just white carpet and

1:00:54.000 --> 1:00:59.200
<v Speaker 2>weird mirror placements and there's a sunken living room. You

1:00:59.240 --> 1:01:02.200
<v Speaker 2>know what I'm talking about out Tie, just desperate for

1:01:03.040 --> 1:01:06.120
<v Speaker 2>the property Brothers or Fixer Up or one of one

1:01:06.160 --> 1:01:11.120
<v Speaker 2>of our favorite shows on was HGTV Need some Ship Lap.

1:01:13.120 --> 1:01:15.720
<v Speaker 2>Let's start with some remodeling because let's start with Michigan State,

1:01:15.920 --> 1:01:19.120
<v Speaker 2>whose offense was terrible. It's a big question mark at

1:01:19.160 --> 1:01:22.520
<v Speaker 2>this point because we do not know what to expect

1:01:22.560 --> 1:01:24.800
<v Speaker 2>out of this Michigan State team. We know that they

1:01:24.840 --> 1:01:27.720
<v Speaker 2>focused on receiver that you know, a lot of receivers

1:01:27.720 --> 1:01:30.040
<v Speaker 2>and running backs are out. They lost offensive skilled to

1:01:30.120 --> 1:01:33.520
<v Speaker 2>transfer guys. Darius Snow is the jewel of the class.

1:01:33.560 --> 1:01:36.360
<v Speaker 2>But this this is a Michigan State team who recruited

1:01:36.400 --> 1:01:39.400
<v Speaker 2>well enough when they were winning games, they you know,

1:01:39.440 --> 1:01:42.480
<v Speaker 2>whether it was Malik McDowell, whoever, where they were getting three,

1:01:42.640 --> 1:01:45.360
<v Speaker 2>four or five six blue chips eventually in a class.

1:01:45.720 --> 1:01:48.600
<v Speaker 2>There were zero in this year's class, lower part of

1:01:48.640 --> 1:01:51.360
<v Speaker 2>the Big ten, So not a lot of optimism for

1:01:51.680 --> 1:01:57.080
<v Speaker 2>immediate retooling, remodeling and renovation in East Lansing. But UCLA

1:01:58.400 --> 1:02:00.160
<v Speaker 2>u CLA is a little bit interesting to me. They

1:02:00.160 --> 1:02:02.840
<v Speaker 2>bring in a blue chip quarterback. They weren't great at

1:02:02.880 --> 1:02:04.840
<v Speaker 2>quarterback last season, even though we went into it in

1:02:05.400 --> 1:02:08.040
<v Speaker 2>a promising way. The focus in this class was upfront

1:02:08.040 --> 1:02:11.560
<v Speaker 2>on defense, which it probably should have been. Damian Sellers

1:02:11.680 --> 1:02:13.560
<v Speaker 2>great linebacker. Looks like I watched a little bit of

1:02:13.560 --> 1:02:17.960
<v Speaker 2>his tape from Arizona quarterback from New Hampshire, the Granite

1:02:18.040 --> 1:02:22.560
<v Speaker 2>State tie. And his name is Parker McQuary. And where

1:02:22.640 --> 1:02:25.960
<v Speaker 2>is granite mined? Tie in a quarry?

1:02:26.200 --> 1:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's right.

1:02:28.200 --> 1:02:30.280
<v Speaker 2>That is a fun fact that only Tom Hammond.

1:02:30.560 --> 1:02:31.880
<v Speaker 1>That is true. True.

1:02:33.080 --> 1:02:37.040
<v Speaker 2>UCLA desperate for some renovation remodeling. Will see what happens

1:02:37.120 --> 1:02:39.720
<v Speaker 2>in year three. But at least their recruiting is improving

1:02:39.760 --> 1:02:41.680
<v Speaker 2>from where it was as they lose a ton of guys.

1:02:41.680 --> 1:02:44.640
<v Speaker 2>They lost the O Howard's Oklahoma unfortunately he gets hurt.

1:02:44.720 --> 1:02:49.040
<v Speaker 2>NC State. At least they finished in the top half.

1:02:49.200 --> 1:02:51.360
<v Speaker 2>I think they finished number six in the ACC. They

1:02:51.360 --> 1:02:54.720
<v Speaker 2>went hard after receivers. They revamped their coaching staff. Porter

1:02:54.840 --> 1:02:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Rooks is the jewel of this class. They don't bring

1:02:57.360 --> 1:03:02.880
<v Speaker 2>any transfers in, but twelve guys. Twelve guys will not

1:03:02.960 --> 1:03:05.400
<v Speaker 2>be in Carter Finley next year. I guess that's probably

1:03:05.400 --> 1:03:07.680
<v Speaker 2>headlined by Matt McKay, who I think a lot of

1:03:07.680 --> 1:03:10.479
<v Speaker 2>people are optimistic about it. Quarterback. He goes to Montana State.

1:03:10.600 --> 1:03:14.600
<v Speaker 2>So I'm not feeling great about NC state renovation. TCU

1:03:15.080 --> 1:03:18.680
<v Speaker 2>third in the Big twelve. Your beautiful, beautiful purple horn

1:03:18.720 --> 1:03:22.720
<v Speaker 2>Frogs tie. You're ready, right, I've been ready ready since

1:03:23.000 --> 1:03:26.600
<v Speaker 2>two thousand and eight. A lot of receiver, a lot

1:03:26.600 --> 1:03:29.240
<v Speaker 2>of offensive line. They bring back Doug Meacham to take

1:03:29.280 --> 1:03:32.439
<v Speaker 2>over the offense he once at least co coordinated. Justin

1:03:32.520 --> 1:03:36.800
<v Speaker 2>Rodgers is out, Michael Collins is out. So it's a

1:03:36.840 --> 1:03:40.640
<v Speaker 2>good class. It's third in the Big twelve. I'm not

1:03:40.760 --> 1:03:43.120
<v Speaker 2>previewing TCU right now, but in terms of at least

1:03:43.120 --> 1:03:45.600
<v Speaker 2>some optimism, there is reason to feel pretty good in

1:03:45.640 --> 1:03:50.560
<v Speaker 2>Fort Worth, and that's to me, is the jewel of

1:03:50.600 --> 1:03:55.120
<v Speaker 2>these renovation cases. I don't feel good otherwise about I mean,

1:03:55.160 --> 1:03:57.320
<v Speaker 2>Missoo is desperate after last year. We went through their

1:03:57.360 --> 1:03:59.320
<v Speaker 2>recruiting class and it's pretty good. I mean the Eli

1:03:59.400 --> 1:04:04.800
<v Speaker 2>Drinkwitz fa or is elite. But I think of anybody's houses,

1:04:05.320 --> 1:04:08.560
<v Speaker 2>of anybody's homes, the horn frogs have the best chance

1:04:08.640 --> 1:04:10.120
<v Speaker 2>to D sync that living.

1:04:09.960 --> 1:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Room, all right, D sink the living room.

1:04:12.720 --> 1:04:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Dcink the living room. That's all I ask. A sunken

1:04:14.840 --> 1:04:19.880
<v Speaker 2>living room is rough. Okay, Well, how do you feel

1:04:19.880 --> 1:04:22.640
<v Speaker 2>about Notre Dames class? What is there anybody from Notre

1:04:22.720 --> 1:04:25.240
<v Speaker 2>Dame's class that makes you and you can play it

1:04:25.280 --> 1:04:30.280
<v Speaker 2>one more time, have a reaction just like Eli Drinkwitz did. Yeah,

1:04:30.400 --> 1:04:32.560
<v Speaker 2>it did. Is there anything like a singular commit or

1:04:32.600 --> 1:04:33.560
<v Speaker 2>class Yeah.

1:04:33.360 --> 1:04:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Anything that gave me the full drink wits.

1:04:36.000 --> 1:04:36.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1:04:37.120 --> 1:04:39.120
<v Speaker 1>I gotta be honest, it's it's tough to sort of

1:04:39.160 --> 1:04:43.320
<v Speaker 1>compose myself after the Kyle Hamilton get last year. Like,

1:04:43.360 --> 1:04:46.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm still kind of okay, I'm still sort of in

1:04:46.440 --> 1:04:49.280
<v Speaker 1>the in the glow of that one. I have a

1:04:49.400 --> 1:04:55.960
<v Speaker 1>very unnatural affinity for Chris tyree Purpose, who I think

1:04:56.040 --> 1:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>that's from Virginia. Not a big kid, but really exciting

1:05:02.160 --> 1:05:06.600
<v Speaker 1>someone who could give them some explosiveness. I really like that.

1:05:07.920 --> 1:05:09.680
<v Speaker 2>What I like about it running the ball well these

1:05:09.760 --> 1:05:10.640
<v Speaker 2>past couple of years.

1:05:10.960 --> 1:05:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but there's a bit of uncertainty about which direction

1:05:14.560 --> 1:05:18.200
<v Speaker 1>that running game is headed. We saw questions on that

1:05:18.240 --> 1:05:21.480
<v Speaker 1>front last year. Of course, they had some losses that

1:05:21.520 --> 1:05:23.560
<v Speaker 1>they had to replace and injuries that they needed to

1:05:23.600 --> 1:05:26.240
<v Speaker 1>deal with. So now as they kind of shift from

1:05:26.320 --> 1:05:29.880
<v Speaker 1>Chip long over to Thomas Reeves, of course it's a

1:05:29.920 --> 1:05:32.040
<v Speaker 1>question of, well, what does that running game look like?

1:05:32.120 --> 1:05:35.760
<v Speaker 1>And I feel better knowing that they have some other

1:05:35.840 --> 1:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>weapons that they that they can use. They did go

1:05:38.600 --> 1:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>heavy at receiver though, and I think that's important. Notre

1:05:42.760 --> 1:05:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Dame has done very well at the receiver position the

1:05:46.200 --> 1:05:48.960
<v Speaker 1>last couple of years. It is a position they need

1:05:49.000 --> 1:05:53.720
<v Speaker 1>to restock. So I'm excited to see guys like Jordan

1:05:53.800 --> 1:05:59.439
<v Speaker 1>Johnson who comes up from Missouri. Excited Xavier Watts, who

1:05:59.560 --> 1:06:02.840
<v Speaker 1>is maybe only a three star but someone that I've

1:06:02.840 --> 1:06:05.520
<v Speaker 1>read a lot of exciting stuff about as well, even

1:06:05.520 --> 1:06:08.520
<v Speaker 1>at tight end. You know, their biggest recruit was a

1:06:08.560 --> 1:06:11.200
<v Speaker 1>gentleman by the name of Michael Meyer, who is somehow

1:06:11.240 --> 1:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>only eighteen, but in his photo looks like he might

1:06:13.680 --> 1:06:14.400
<v Speaker 1>be thirty eight.

1:06:14.680 --> 1:06:16.360
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it looks like JJ Watts's uncle.

1:06:16.880 --> 1:06:19.960
<v Speaker 1>He's incredible from Kentucky sixty four two thirty four. He's

1:06:19.960 --> 1:06:23.480
<v Speaker 1>a five star tight end. I like the fact that

1:06:23.520 --> 1:06:26.080
<v Speaker 1>they went out they got some of these guys that

1:06:26.760 --> 1:06:29.320
<v Speaker 1>can make an impact on the offensive side of the ball.

1:06:29.880 --> 1:06:31.360
<v Speaker 1>They didn't do it so much in a way that

1:06:31.400 --> 1:06:36.000
<v Speaker 1>it disadvantaged other aspects of their recruiting class. They did

1:06:36.320 --> 1:06:39.360
<v Speaker 1>pick up a couple offensive and defensive linemen, but I

1:06:39.400 --> 1:06:41.160
<v Speaker 1>think by and large, when you look at this there

1:06:41.440 --> 1:06:45.520
<v Speaker 1>was clearly a focus on adding some receiver options, and

1:06:47.000 --> 1:06:48.760
<v Speaker 1>I like that. I think they did a pretty good job.

1:06:49.240 --> 1:06:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Not as high a class as they've had in recent memory,

1:06:52.920 --> 1:06:54.760
<v Speaker 1>but I think pound for pound a pretty good one.

1:06:54.840 --> 1:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>I think they were like number seventeen or something overall.

1:06:57.840 --> 1:07:00.920
<v Speaker 2>I also saw they brought in a starting receiver from Northwestern.

1:07:00.960 --> 1:07:02.720
<v Speaker 2>I think he probably has to sit out a year.

1:07:02.840 --> 1:07:05.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what his transfer status is. Isaiah Pryor

1:07:05.480 --> 1:07:08.400
<v Speaker 2>from Ohio State safety transfer yep to Notre Dame and

1:07:08.640 --> 1:07:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Brandon Huffman talked about. I think it was but Tosh Baker,

1:07:11.640 --> 1:07:15.200
<v Speaker 2>the offensive lineman he loves from Arizona basketball player as well.

1:07:15.280 --> 1:07:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Tall guys should develop well six Notre Dame, big dude.

1:07:18.680 --> 1:07:22.120
<v Speaker 2>So good class for Notre Dame, very good. No more

1:07:22.160 --> 1:07:23.560
<v Speaker 2>Chase Claypool, right, he's done.

1:07:23.720 --> 1:07:25.439
<v Speaker 1>Chase Claypool is going in the NFL. Yeah.

1:07:25.520 --> 1:07:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, So they need to replace a good chunk of

1:07:27.480 --> 1:07:28.160
<v Speaker 2>production there.

1:07:28.320 --> 1:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so we'll see. But I think by and large

1:07:30.160 --> 1:07:33.200
<v Speaker 1>they did. They did a really good job. You know,

1:07:33.240 --> 1:07:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Notre Dame won't be without its fair share of questions

1:07:35.560 --> 1:07:38.280
<v Speaker 1>going into twenty twenty. But this is not a class

1:07:38.360 --> 1:07:40.240
<v Speaker 1>that you're going to look at and say, oh boy,

1:07:40.160 --> 1:07:42.720
<v Speaker 1>they're in trouble. This is this is a pretty good class.

1:07:43.040 --> 1:07:45.960
<v Speaker 2>They will be without Phil dr Kovic, who transferred to

1:07:46.040 --> 1:07:49.120
<v Speaker 2>Boston College. They will be without Filedderkovic also tie before

1:07:49.160 --> 1:07:54.000
<v Speaker 2>we sign off, how many corrections do you think will

1:07:54.040 --> 1:07:56.280
<v Speaker 2>be made by people listening to the show via email

1:07:56.360 --> 1:07:59.080
<v Speaker 2>or Twitter or solidverble dot reddit dot com.

1:07:59.200 --> 1:08:02.080
<v Speaker 1>Uh, about six and a half, That's what.

1:08:02.080 --> 1:08:04.240
<v Speaker 2>I was thinking. I was right around a touchdown, that

1:08:04.280 --> 1:08:07.400
<v Speaker 2>we pronounced a name wrong, that we got a position wrong,

1:08:07.920 --> 1:08:12.040
<v Speaker 2>that we you know, somebody has torn their acl so

1:08:12.240 --> 1:08:14.240
<v Speaker 2>clearly they're not going to be an early impact guy

1:08:14.280 --> 1:08:18.559
<v Speaker 2>this coming fall. I would maybe we need an old

1:08:18.640 --> 1:08:21.360
<v Speaker 2>stat boy type person, the stat boy PTI used to

1:08:21.400 --> 1:08:24.800
<v Speaker 2>have because on these recruiting shows, woof six and a

1:08:24.840 --> 1:08:27.720
<v Speaker 2>half is if we're under six and a half, I

1:08:27.760 --> 1:08:29.640
<v Speaker 2>would consider the show to be a success.

1:08:29.840 --> 1:08:33.000
<v Speaker 1>That sounds That sounds about right. Okay, now taking applications

1:08:33.000 --> 1:08:33.799
<v Speaker 1>for stat boy.

1:08:33.920 --> 1:08:37.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, or stat girl, stash stack girl, stat gal, whatever

1:08:37.560 --> 1:08:38.439
<v Speaker 2>you want to call yourself.

1:08:39.360 --> 1:08:45.479
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, that's National Signing Day it is. We

1:08:45.520 --> 1:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>will talk more about this as we progress forward. Lord knows,

1:08:49.000 --> 1:08:51.960
<v Speaker 1>there's plenty of news to discuss. It doesn't seem to

1:08:52.000 --> 1:08:54.280
<v Speaker 1>ever end, even though we are now squarely in the

1:08:54.320 --> 1:08:56.600
<v Speaker 1>college football offseason. So we'll be back in about a

1:08:56.640 --> 1:08:59.320

<v Speaker 1>We promise we're not gonna spam you. It's not.

1:09:32.160 --> 1:09:35.640
<v Speaker 2>What is our number one? Because we discussed this and

1:09:35.680 --> 1:09:38.680
<v Speaker 2>we know where our downloads come from, yep, so we

1:09:38.760 --> 1:09:42.439
<v Speaker 2>knew when the National Championship game was in Atlanta, for instance,

1:09:42.439 --> 1:09:44.760
<v Speaker 2>We're like, we have a solid chunk of people in

1:09:44.920 --> 1:09:47.800
<v Speaker 2>or around Atlanta that we think might show up, and

1:09:47.800 --> 1:09:50.240
<v Speaker 2>they did. We had an amazing crowd in Atlanta. Or

1:09:50.479 --> 1:09:53.120
<v Speaker 2>Chicago had a great crowd. Dallas Fort Worth area had

1:09:53.160 --> 1:09:57.360
<v Speaker 2>a great crowd. We've really we've we've been strategic. What

1:09:57.520 --> 1:10:00.960
<v Speaker 2>is a city that is probably nowhere near our most

1:10:01.000 --> 1:10:05.160
<v Speaker 2>listened to city or town or whatever. But there's a

1:10:05.280 --> 1:10:09.400
<v Speaker 2>robust little following like are we huge in Missoula? Like,

1:10:09.720 --> 1:10:12.760
<v Speaker 2>at least compared to other podcasts I'm not doing, like

1:10:12.840 --> 1:10:15.080
<v Speaker 2>do you like is? Do you do? You always see like, oh,

1:10:15.120 --> 1:10:19.080
<v Speaker 2>we've we've got like a steady eighty three people listening

1:10:19.200 --> 1:10:20.520
<v Speaker 2>in Paris, Texas.

1:10:20.800 --> 1:10:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, I don't. There's something surprising. So I'll say this.

1:10:24.160 --> 1:10:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't have in front of me the full list, okay,

1:10:30.880 --> 1:10:34.840
<v Speaker 1>of of where we're downloaded, but I do have a

1:10:34.920 --> 1:10:39.040
<v Speaker 1>top twenty five okay, and the top twenty five has

1:10:39.120 --> 1:10:43.200
<v Speaker 1>had some some interesting results over the span of the

1:10:43.240 --> 1:10:47.080
<v Speaker 1>last year. The one that jumps out to me as

1:10:47.120 --> 1:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>being one of our most downloaded cities is Philly.

1:10:51.320 --> 1:10:52.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, love Philly.

1:10:52.920 --> 1:10:55.679
<v Speaker 1>Now Philly doesn't exactly fall into the you know, small

1:10:55.680 --> 1:11:00.760
<v Speaker 1>town motif, so to speak, but Temple Zone Philly has

1:11:00.760 --> 1:11:03.400
<v Speaker 1>done really well for us, and Philly is obviously very

1:11:03.400 --> 1:11:07.080
<v Speaker 1>close to me, So that would be an intriguing spot.

1:11:07.360 --> 1:11:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Dark Horse, Yeah, an intriguing spot. Some of the other

1:11:11.439 --> 1:11:16.400
<v Speaker 1>ones that I find of interest, I've heard good things

1:11:16.400 --> 1:11:17.559
<v Speaker 1>about Nashville, Tennessee.

1:11:18.360 --> 1:11:20.759
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's I've been there. It's a good time.

1:11:21.040 --> 1:11:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I've never been to the Pacific Northwest. I've been to Portland, Oregon,

1:11:28.080 --> 1:11:31.080
<v Speaker 1>but I've never been to Seattle. And Seattle does pretty well. Okay,

1:11:32.360 --> 1:11:35.200
<v Speaker 1>that's another one and one other one that I'll throw

1:11:35.240 --> 1:11:37.920
<v Speaker 1>out here just off the top of my head because

1:11:37.920 --> 1:11:39.840
<v Speaker 1>I can't seem to get this to load. We had

1:11:39.840 --> 1:11:41.360
<v Speaker 1>a really good time in Minneapolis.

1:11:41.800 --> 1:11:44.559
<v Speaker 2>We did have a great time in Minneapolis. Facts only,

1:11:45.680 --> 1:11:48.360
<v Speaker 2>so just some places that are of interest. But Philly,

1:11:48.400 --> 1:11:49.800
<v Speaker 2>if i'm if I'm thinking.

1:11:51.280 --> 1:11:53.280
<v Speaker 1>Put off the cuff here, Philly is the one that

1:11:54.200 --> 1:11:57.720
<v Speaker 1>surprises me, maybe because it is known more of a

1:11:57.720 --> 1:12:00.800
<v Speaker 1>professional sports town than a college town. But yet we

1:12:00.800 --> 1:12:02.000
<v Speaker 1>get a ton of downloads from there.

1:12:02.400 --> 1:12:05.559
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so we like there's no Yeah, I want to know,

1:12:05.640 --> 1:12:08.360
<v Speaker 2>like what market number one oh four is?

1:12:08.680 --> 1:12:09.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

1:12:09.280 --> 1:12:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Are we big and broken Bow Nebraska? Are we big

1:12:13.200 --> 1:12:15.559
<v Speaker 2>in Overland Park? That's just Kansas City, though.

1:12:15.439 --> 1:12:17.160
<v Speaker 1>We're big in Spartanville, South Carolina.

1:12:17.160 --> 1:12:20.479
<v Speaker 2>There's one that would be oh see, that's great, great

1:12:20.560 --> 1:12:22.880
<v Speaker 2>to know playblow Colorado.

1:12:23.720 --> 1:12:24.880
<v Speaker 1>I will find these you know.

1:12:24.840 --> 1:12:29.800
<v Speaker 2>That El Segundo Yell? Okay, all right, I would go

1:12:29.800 --> 1:12:33.879
<v Speaker 2>to flag Staff. There's a pizzaria. I really want to Honestly,

1:12:33.960 --> 1:12:37.000
<v Speaker 2>if we could do a show at Pizza Cletta in Flagstaff,

1:12:37.120 --> 1:12:37.839
