Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to Andy Staples on three and it is a very special edition of the show. We're going to play the game that is sweeping the nation. We've done this once before, but we're bringing it all in house now. In fact, we've hired our own expert host for this round. And of course, I'm talking about whose team is it anyway? always wanted to drive a G-Wagon. No matter the reason, you fell into the Transfer Portal and now you're somewhere else. We have to remember where you're playing and you know what that means?
Starting point is 00:00:49 It's time for another game of Whose Team Is It Anyway? All right, and of course, we brought in some help here. Pete Nacos, On3's master of the transfer portal, is going to be our master of ceremonies for this game. Pete, thank you so much for doing this. Thank you for providing your immense transfer portal knowledge. You didn't even have to look any of these guys up. I just said make a list in varying degrees of difficulty
Starting point is 00:01:22 of guys who transferred this year. I imagine they just came pouring out of your brain. So my biggest challenge in compiling these list of athletes was how easy is easy. Like how many layups do I give you and our guest contestant? So should be fun. Feel really good about some of them. Some other ones I'm going to just have to like bear with because
Starting point is 00:01:45 i'm like if you guys don't get this you should be covering college football in 2024 um so it's gonna be that's what i'm scared of pete like if if i don't get that perhaps i get canceled maybe i get fired even so no risky show we're putting your neck out there. All right. That brings me to our other contestants. So I will be one contestant. Pete will be our host. Cody Blair on three's national scout, who while working for various teams, probably evaluate a lot of these guys as recruits.
Starting point is 00:02:19 And certainly while working on three, evaluated them as they were in the portal. Hi, Cody. Hello, everyone. everyone i gotta say the intro music was phenomenal so i'm fired up for this even more than i was going in um i want to say my immediate default for getting these wrong is oh guys i'm sorry i'm just so buried in high school tape you know just doing my best evalings uh i just i don Alex. I get lost in the portal these days, man. That's why we got Pete.
Starting point is 00:02:47 Well, and that's why we're doing this, because it is the offseason, but the season's going to be here before we know it. And we did cover a lot of the spring portal guys, but Pete's going to be bringing out a lot of the guys who transferred in the winter portal and who went through spring practice with their new teams. And I think there's a lot of your casual fans out there or your fans that
Starting point is 00:03:08 they do follow it a lot but they follow mostly their own team they're gonna be like wait that guy's playing where again it'll be a good reminder yeah i'm gonna have the same reaction to a lot of these and that's gonna be great so one thing we need to talk about before we jump into this is there's multi-time transfers now right the incident is completely reworked how it oversees the portal and now athletes can transfer multiple times and play right away so this is the first time uh this show has ever included those those multi-time transfers who can play immediately well and the other thing like i i'm guessing a certain person is going to to hit in this show like i i don't know if i'm giving too much away is it possible that someone doesn't have a final transfer destination quite yet so i opted not to do that but there's some
Starting point is 00:04:01 very fresh commitments so interesting what about transfers that entered the portal committed to a school and then went back to the school they transferred from uh we don't have that but we do have a four-time transfer oh beautiful perfect i'm very excited i did tell pete i was like it's it's probably funnier if you make us name all the schools if it's somebody who's been to three or four schools so that's killer all right so the way we're gonna play the game is we we don't have buzzers and obviously we're doing this via stream yard so we don't know if there's any sort of lag so we're not going to try to buzz in basically cody will be up first it will be his turn if he misses it i can steal if i miss my turn the next turn cody can steal hopefully our producer river is keeping score because i don't
Starting point is 00:04:59 know if i'm going to be capable of that and we will see if we need to to have a a transfer off at the end but yeah i'm very very nervous excited and gentlemen uh well pete's gonna have a job but me and cody may not by the end of this all right let's get this thing rolling so so starting off we'll give this to you before we're on the honor system like we could have computers you'd never know we're off we're on the honor system here we're soloed right now do you also have a prize for this is there a prize you don't get fired i'll take that i'm loving this i'll take that all right well i'm so excited for this layup that i'm absolutely gonna miss all right go ahead pete all right let's start this thing off um okay at the at the number one
Starting point is 00:05:56 overall spot at the safety position kill downs come on with Alabama Ohio State correct correct okay good guys this is this is the best player arguably in the sport right now Caleb Downs the things he's able to do especially last year I mean as a true freshman in Alabama the amount of tackles this guy had, his ability to play downhill in the box, to be able to rove as a center fielder, this is an all-encompassing DB that if he was draft eligible right now, I think would still be taken in the top 10. He is genuinely special as a defensive back. I'll just add real quick about his, his recruitment guys that, I mean,
Starting point is 00:06:47 this, this did not look like Ohio state for the 72 hours. His recruitment went on. Georgia was thought to be the leader from the beginning. And then the, the tides really changed on that one when Ryan day and some of the Ohio state coaching staff went down to Georgia and didn't in home with him. And I believe like within 24 hours, he made a decision and went to Ohio State. And he's had a really good spring in Columbus.
Starting point is 00:07:11 But a really interesting one that I think we'll be continuing to talk about all season and probably in the CFP of how Ohio State beat Georgia out for Caleb Downs and in the impact that he'll make in the secondary for the Buckeyes. Well, and it's not just him as a player. It's what he can do for their defense in terms of putting their best 11 on the field. We talk about this a bunch on my show. Sonny Stiles was a pretty good safety at Ohio State. He's going to be an incredible linebacker. That's probably what he should be playing in this era of college football at his size and speed.
Starting point is 00:07:42 This allows him to move there. You've got JT Tumalao and jack sawyer in front of him you've got you know you've got latham ransom and and denzel burke still in that secondary i just i love the way this defense is put together now kind of around caleb downs yeah yeah totally all right well let's let's keep this thing going. Ball games over to Andy. Can I say one more thing? Just since we're playing the hypothetical, can you imagine if Caleb Downs and Malachi Starks were on the same team? That would have been unfair, completely unfair.
Starting point is 00:08:22 Yeah, the hypotheticals in college football right now are out of this world absolutely all right we're gonna go over to andy all right defensive lineman walter nolan walter nolan transferred from texas a&m to ole miss the defensive lineman that we thought would never be available in the port not necessarily walter but the caliber of defensive lineman that we thought would never be available in the portal, not necessarily Walter, but the caliber of defensive lineman that we said, oh, that'll never be available in the portal because whatever school they're at will always step up to keep them. But he went in the portal, winds up at Ole Miss, which this is what they needed. Like if you watch that Ole Miss Georgia game from Athens last year, the deficiency was on the line of scrimmage. That was the difference between those two teams. They needed a player like Walter Nolan, multiple players like Walter Nolan. I don't know how many
Starting point is 00:09:09 other Ole Miss transfers you have in here. I'll mention Prince, Prince Lee, Amanda Miellon from Florida. Who's an edge rusher, but they added him on the D line as well. Walter Nolan was a big get. And one of those that when he went into the portal, it was like, okay, this is what everybody wants. Caleb Downs, as Cody mentioned, maybe the best player in college football. Walter Nolan, probably the rarest commodity available in the transfer portal. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:35 Go ahead, Pete. Go ahead. What you got? I'm sorry, Cody. So Caleb Downs, Walter Nolan, two of our top guys on the board in the portal, both winter guys. The really interesting thing too about walter nolan it is was it it was kind of always old miss right um entered the portal he's from the memphis area close to home almost checks off a lot of the boxes for him gets to gets to play for randall
Starting point is 00:09:59 joiner and and um i mean gonna be really interesting to see see if he's the kind of guy who can help Ole Miss get to the playoff. And I'll tee that one up for you right there, Cody. Yeah, I mean, this is like Andy and you guys touched on. This is somebody that should not be in the portal. And I'm going to give kudos to this Ole Miss staff and their personnel crew and their collective, because the way they approach the portal clearly has been paying off landing so many of these big targets. But their philosophy and the way they approach the portal is going to become the standard in college football.
Starting point is 00:10:34 And so kudos to them for landing such a big fish, and I think it's going to pay dividends for this team. Totally. So we're at 1-1 now. We're going to toss it back over to Cody. Continuing with a few layup-esque guys here. Don't say that. We pivot to, this is an interesting one,
Starting point is 00:10:54 Iowa offensive lineman, Caden Proctor. All right. Okay, excellent. We're going to go Alabama, Iowaowa alabama correct all right yeah i mean guys when we talk about big fish right if you're alabama and you're kayla deborah this had to have been someone where you go we have to get this guy back here like that's someone that took a lot of quality reps as a true freshman last year, had some up and down.
Starting point is 00:11:26 He had a little bit of a rollercoaster ride at tackle, but this is a large human that is going to move bodies off the football. He's going to develop as a pass protector. He's always been strong in the run game. Another year under his belt on this offensive line. This is someone that Alabama really needed to come back. And I think they're going to be happy that he's on their offensive front. Totally. So this is a guy who took his lumps as a freshman. Like you watch that Tennessee game, James Pierce is giving him all kinds of trouble. He had a lot
Starting point is 00:11:54 of trouble against Arkansas, but then you've moved to the sec championship game and he looks fantastic and against Georgia. It's just, he just needed to kind of grow up in the position a little bit. He did that. One thing I think will be interesting to watch about Caden Proctor this season with Kalen DeBoer running a show at Alabama. Kalen DeBoer likes a little bit smaller type of offensive lineman. They like him to play a little bit lighter. Caden Proctor played around 360 last year. I would be surprised if he plays above about 335 this year.
Starting point is 00:12:22 So I think you're going to have him still be a giant human being, but probably a little bit lighter on his feet, more mobile. Yeah. And the thing that's interesting too with Caden Proctor in particular, I want to say he was one of the younger prospects in his recruiting cycle.
Starting point is 00:12:37 I don't know if Proctor's 19 yet. So this is still someone developing and growing into their frame. So I think his body's still changing to your point, Andy, and I think DeBoer's going to get a lot out of him. I like getting him back on the line with Tyler Booker. I think Alabama has the potential to have a really good offensive line year one under Kalen DeBoer.
Starting point is 00:12:57 All right, let's keep this thing going. Let's see if Andy can tie it back up. All right, he is now on to his third school, Andy Staples. He's a quarterback his name is dylan gabriel dylan gabriel started his career at ucf then moved to oklahoma and now he is at oregon where he could actually be the most impactful transfer this season because while dylan gabriel and there's a really good story by Chris Camerani in The Athletic recently about Dylan Gabriel's path to Oregon. A lot of the reason he's at Oregon
Starting point is 00:13:30 right now is because the NFL folks were not real high on him. He got a sixth, seventh undrafted type grade and decided one more year of college is good for me. Dylan Gabriel is a fabulous college quarterback. We don't know how good of an NFL quarterback he'll be, but as a college quarterback, he can run. He's got a good arm. He's very accurate. He's very confident, very poised. And so you go into an offense where Will Stein is in his second season as the offensive coordinator. Bo Nix completed, I believe, 78% of his passes last year. I think we're going to see Dylan Gabriel approach that. You know, you're not asked to throw a lot of high-risk passes in this Oregon offense.
Starting point is 00:14:11 There's a lot of high confidence, get the ball to playmakers in space kind of thing. Well, Dylan Gabriel, you saw at Oklahoma, he can do that. But also when you need him to win a game with his legs, as the Texas game told us last year, he can do that too. And Andy, this is a guy I want to say he had the lowest turnover rate out of any quarterback in Power 5 football last year. This is a guy that's going to take care of the rock.
Starting point is 00:14:39 And if you're Oregon with how talented this roster is, you just need someone to keep the gas going, right? Keep their foot on the pedal. Like no mistakes, no hiccups, just hand the ball off. Extended handoff, right? That's a lot of what this Oregon game is. So they brought in someone that I genuinely think is a perfect fit for this offense.
Starting point is 00:15:03 And someone who is not going to be on this game show, but they bring in Evan Stort, the wide receiver from Texas A&M. And I think echoing what you guys said, they have a really talented wide receiver room. If Dylan Gabriel can just get the ball to Treshawn Holden and Evan Stort, I think things are going to go well on Eugene. On a lighter note too, Dylan Gabriel really uses the NIL platform for good. He gave uniforms to his high school football team this spring.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Good guy. Interested to see how things pan out at Oregon. Nice. So, moving on. This is our first daily double. Oh. Boo-boo, boo-boo, boo-boo. Do we have that sound? Are you ready does cody get to bet on this
Starting point is 00:15:48 uh well cody could bet on it what i i didn't really factor that in um but okay this is an edge named tyler baron he's on to his third school but Cody, if you can name the school that he was committed to in the wintertime, we'll give you a point and a half. I can't even remember. I know it's Louisville, Tennessee, but I couldn't tell you. I have no clue. I'll take the X. I'll take the buzzer.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Okay. Oh, I'm so ready to steal. Tyler Barron started his career at Tennessee. He was the edge rusher opposite James Pierce Jr. last year. He then committed to Ole Miss. He then committed to Louisville. He is now in the market for another team, unless Pete has any justification for me.
Starting point is 00:16:43 Is there a ranking? Or did I miss something? Both are wrong here. He committed to Miami, I think, about two weeks ago now. That's right. Gosh. Pete is such a
Starting point is 00:16:57 consummate professional. He just knows everything. Bunch of exes. He was at Louisville during, he was at Ole Miss, then goes to Louisville for the spring. Like, because he got to Oxford. Like, was in an apartment in Oxford, and then went to Louisville and went through spring with them,
Starting point is 00:17:19 and then went back. And then Ole Miss was, like, rumored to be another. So, what's really interesting here is here is so he lands at Miami. A lot of people thought he was going to be a package deal with the step brother, Wesley Walker, the defensive back who actually ended up at Michigan. And he actually did consider Ole Miss the spring, had to sit down at one point with the coaching staff. He visited USC as well.
Starting point is 00:17:43 LSU looked like he was in the mix but he settles on miami he's going to be a hurricane um and to be honest here guys i wasn't sure how we were going to score this so it's a good thing you both got it wrong um well and i think this is another thing we should probably remember is the default cody like if we can't remember where they ended up just guess miami that's fair that's a solid strat I mean this is some they lost Jayden Wayne too right in the portal yep he went to Washington so so that's somebody that comes in Tyler Barron can come and fill that spot I mean he's an explosive edge player you know he's had some stuff obviously he's kind of bounced around commitment to commitment school to school so
Starting point is 00:18:21 you got to see if that's figured out but we're talking on the field strictly i mean this guy's dynamic pure pass rusher so this is someone that's going to make an impact especially on this miami team that has ruben bain inside if you let tyler baron pin his ears back there's going to be some trouble for quarterbacks playing that team totally all right well this one is going to go over to andy now because cody you missed that one initially um i'll take it we got a defensive lineman back on the board here. Nick Skorton. Ooh, this is a really interesting one. I'm glad you asked me because Cody was too close to this during the original recruitment. Cody was working at Texas A&M. Nick Skorton
Starting point is 00:19:00 is from the Bryan College Station area. Was not a member of that incredible defensive line group in the 2022 Texas A&M signing class. He signed with Purdue, where he became one of the best pass rushers in the country. And now he returns home, where he will be a pass rusher for the Aggies and Mike Elko. And that is going to be a fun thing to watch
Starting point is 00:19:23 because this is a guy, Cody Cody I'm going to let you take it away because I know you know a lot more about his background and upbringing and and and skill set but man I know they're excited about him yeah I mean this is a kid from Bryan High School right like he is literally within 10 minutes of that stadium. And he was someone that was playing a lot of off-ball linebacker, right, at 240 pounds, came to camp with us, found him as this tweener, body tight, wasn't sure how much weight he's going to put on, but is he athletic enough to play off-ball, goes to Purdue, puts on a very comfortable 45 pounds,
Starting point is 00:20:01 and has become an absolute monster of an edge defender, hand-in-the-dirt guy, can play play five technique can stand up if you need him to can kick inside on an interior pass rush he does everything along the defensive front and i know the a&m crew i mean i'm there's a few folks i know inside that building still and this guy is going to contend for captaincy of this texas a&m team so great kid off the field great player on it checks all the boxes so we are non-biased here whose team is it anyway so as as cody is secretly angrily at me for team that went up to andy uh we moved to quarterback cam ward yeah cam ward so we are a washington state to what was the first school though what was the
Starting point is 00:20:48 first school oh in your lane who's the first car we're incarnate word yep washington state miami i appreciate the handoff there because i did forget we're doing all of them tyler baron has thrown me for a loop folks. But can award, I mean, P you can probably a better Intel on this than me. Was this the hottest commodity quarterback this cycle? Yeah,
Starting point is 00:21:15 by far the hottest commodity. And, and I think what people need to look at too is yes, I think Riley Leonard had a lot of suitors, but that was kind of a walk to Notre Dame from day one. Cam Ward was one of the few guys who went in who I think really evaluated all his options. Washington was in this for a minute. And then Auburn makes the last minute push.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Obviously Miami and Florida state go back and forth. He declares for the NFL draft on January 1st, 2024, less than 30 days later, he withdraws from the draft and commits to Miami. And I mean, we can all speak on this, but the reviews out of South Beach this spring have been phenomenal. We just talked about Tyler Barron. They also got Sam Brown, the Houston wide receiver, Oregon State running back Damian Martinez.
Starting point is 00:22:00 And I think a lot of those commitments don't happen if they don't get cam ward out of the transfer portal. Um, there's a lot of momentum and hope right now that, that he could be the guy to really get Miami back on track to the ACC title game. Um, time will tell, but,
Starting point is 00:22:15 but definitely a huge pickup. And, and obviously, uh, in this day and age was a, it wasn't an IL recruitment as well. Um, and,
Starting point is 00:22:23 and he settles on the canes. I was happy for cam or that he settles on the Canes. I was happy for Cam Ward that he landed with an air raid coordinator. Shannon Dawson has been in that system for a long time. So the history of Cam Ward is he, I can't remember if it was a wing T or a triple option offense that he ran in high school, but it was, it was not a big passing offense. And Carnate Word had had him in camp. They knew he could throw. They kind of kept the lid on that so he goes to incarnate word replaced for eric morris who then gets the oc job at
Starting point is 00:22:50 washington state eric morris is now the head coach at north texas but we thought that you know this would be a huge thing and it was good at washington state i don't know that the talent was around him enough and then uh morris left because he got that head coaching job. So, you know, I don't know that we've seen him fully realized yet. And I think that's the question is in Shannon Dawson's offense with the amount of talent, like Xavier Estrepo, uh, Damian Martinez coming in from Oregon state with that offensive line in front of him, is he going to be fully realized now? And I think that's what the Miami people are very excited about. Yeah, and another smart decision, I think, on that, Andy,
Starting point is 00:23:31 and Pete touched on it, his decision to not declare could end up making that cat way more money long-term than if he were to potentially have declared this quarterback cycle where he had, what, how many guys get drafted in the first round, five, six quarterbacks going to first round. And you know, it's obviously very early until that next draft class,
Starting point is 00:23:53 but there's not a clear cut guy right now. I think cam ward very much has a shot to solidify his spot as QB one come the draft next year. Agreed. Especially if everything goes well. So, right. We're going to stick at the quarterback position here believe this one goes over to andy now uh quarterback
Starting point is 00:24:10 kyle mccord oh this was the the bomb i i just remember i was in nashville on the day the transfer portal opened for the winter and pete calls me at about, I want to say it was like 6.55 a.m. local time. I remember I was sitting outside of Panera Bread about to fill up a giant cup of coffee because I knew J.D. Piquel and I were going to be doing a very long Transfer Portal Day show. And Pete goes, so I'm about to put in the, I'm about to drop a story that Kyle McCord's entering the Transfer Portal. I'm like, do what now? He lost to Michigan three days ago. What are we talking about?
Starting point is 00:24:50 This was a starting quarterback at Ohio State. Yes, transfer portal. He did visit Nebraska. He did not end up going to Nebraska. He ended up going to Syracuse, where Fran Brown, the new head coach, has put together basically a New York, Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania all-star team. And Fran Brown, when he was on our show,
Starting point is 00:25:12 explained a lot of the relationships he has, knows a lot of these high school coaches. In the case of Kyle McCord, it's even deeper. Fran Brown's wife used to work with Kyle McCord's dad when Kyle McCord was in elementary school. So the relationship goes back a ways. And what I'll just jump in here and add, this recruitment was really fascinating because if you guys remember, he went on that Nebraska visit and everything was tracking to him becoming a Husker.
Starting point is 00:25:37 And then when he's on the visit, the news breaks that Dylan Arreola is going to decommit from Georgia and ultimately land in Nebraska. And from what sources told me at the time and everything, like that news was like so eye-opening to McCord and his family that they're like, this is just not going to work here. Because, Cody, I mean, you can speak to it of how talented of a high school product Dylan Rayola is. But, I mean, Nebraska fans love that family. They love the opportunity he brings. And not to get completely off base here,
Starting point is 00:26:09 but Dylan Rayola is going to be interested to see how it goes in year one. And his decision had a lot to do with the reason why Kyle McCord landed at Syracuse. Yeah, and just to go into the relationship side of it, with Fran Brown at Syracuse, and like you mentioned, Andy, those New Jersey, New York, upstate ties, he brought in Eliza Robinson as well. And that's someone I had the pleasure of working with at Texas A&M as the D-line coach there. I did his travel for recruiting weekends. And when I tell you that guy had the easiest travel job on the
Starting point is 00:26:36 planet, he would say, hey, Cody, just put me in Houston, Philadelphia, and New Jersey on Fridays. I'll take care of the rest. That guy is built to be a coach there, and Fran Brown as well. That combo, getting players to Syracuse, is going to be dangerous for years up there. Okay, let's keep this ball moving. We're going to move back to the line of scrimmage. I know this is only going to get tougher,
Starting point is 00:27:09 so every time we bounce back to me, that next level jump just sends a little jolt of fear in me. So let's go ahead. I think that this one is really intriguing. He was on Bruce Feldman's freaks list this past year. His name is Thor Griffith. He's a defensive lineman. Oh, my gosh. Even worse, I know where he came from. Couldn't tell you where he ended up so it's harvard
Starting point is 00:27:29 but where did he go pete i'll take the x man i can't i couldn't i'll venture i'll tell you how about i lied let me at least guess yeah harvard kid where would he want to go he's a smart guy i'll say i don't know illinois no all right so we actually had thor on the show before the season last year helpful ask him if he ever got bored bench pressing 225 45 times like. Like around rep 37, do you get bored? No, he apparently does not get bored. Remember, Cody, how I said that if you don't know, guess Miami. The other one, if you don't know, guess Louisville. Thor Griffith is going to Louisville from Harvard.
Starting point is 00:28:20 Yep. Strong. Yep. Strong. A huge pickup on the defense line for the cars. Huge pickup because they're already so they're good on the edge. Like they got, uh, the Ashton Gillette and, and Mason Rager, like they needed some help up the middle. So you put him up the middle with those dudes off the edge. Louisville is a, is a very intriguing team this year.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Yeah. And, and, and man, they, they did a great job in the portal i mean they add um their starting quarterback's gonna be from the portal texas tech transfer uh tyler shuck and quite a few other guys i got that one pete i got that one i know i was there i like not tyler i know but what was the first school i oregon yeah there you go i was there I may have gone out of my way to make sure he wasn't on the list. Anyways. Strong. Smart. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:08 Since. Okay. I think we're going to go back to the show now. This one goes. Well, nevermind. This one goes. This is mine. Cause I stole.
Starting point is 00:29:22 Yeah. This is Andy's. This is Andy's. Offensive lineman. Keaton Green. Oh, this is mine. Cause I stole. Yeah. This is Andy's. This is Andy's, um, offensive lineman, King green. Oh, this is an interesting one. And I, I, I'm kind of cheating. Cause I had a dear Andy question about bill beaten bow last week. But so Caden green was at Oklahoma. He started the last four games of the season.
Starting point is 00:29:39 They thought he was going to be a starting guard for them this year. He ends up going to Missouriouri back home to missouri i believe he's uh st louis metro type guy lee's summit i think um but this is a case of missouri and nil it's changed everything like they're getting guys that they out of high school like luther burton like williamson wary uh and keeping them home and then getting some guys to come back home. And I think Caden Green's a good example of that. They needed some help on the offensive line and went and got a guy who would have been starting for another SEC team.
Starting point is 00:30:15 Yeah, I think – go ahead, Pete. What you got? No, no, no. I was just saying this was a – like people at Oklahoma did not know this was coming. This was easily one of the biggest surprises of the winter transfer portal. I've heard stories about how the Oklahoma coaching staff didn't even know he was going to the compliance office. But yeah, and just a huge impact transfer too. He obviously wouldn't have been able to transfer in the spring, but now with Oklahoma going to the SEC. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. I think the impact of this one is really both sides. Mizzou gets somebody to come in and protect for Brady Cook,
Starting point is 00:30:46 who had an excellent year last year. Mizzou's hoping to replicate the magic that they put on the field last year. And on the other side of it, Oklahoma's starting to – essentially a new starter at quarterback in Jackson Arnold. Yes, he's a five-star. Yes, he played a couple games last year. But the more help you had on the offensive front helps, especially for those guys that are going into a new environment in the SEC.
Starting point is 00:31:10 They're playing a tough schedule early. So having a guy like Caden Green not on your roster, if you're Oklahoma, and yes, Bill Beanbaugh, phenomenal coach, you still take players that can play. And him going to Mizzou, that's a tough blow. Totally. All right, Cody,
Starting point is 00:31:26 this one's back over to you. I really like your odds here. Quarterback. Okay. Quarterback DJ. We on Galoi. Yeah. DJ you.
Starting point is 00:31:37 So this is going to be a Clemson, Oregon state. Yep. Florida state. Bingo. Beautiful. The five-star. I mean, fortunately, that one stuck in there.
Starting point is 00:31:51 But DJU, man, I mean, the thing that's so funny about quarterbacks, and I really think the guy that sort of changed this for me, is Bo Nix, right? Bo Nix, superstar coming out of high school, right? Extremely high-rated quarterback. Goes to Auburn. Plays early. Hits a bit of a wall, right?
Starting point is 00:32:15 Change of scenery? Completely different player. Becomes a first-round pick. I'm not saying DJU is going to become a first-round pick necessarily, but you have no clue what a change of scenery can do for some of these guys. And at Florida State and what they've been able to do offensively, especially last year with Jordan Travis, who knows what could happen with DJU as a Seminole.
Starting point is 00:32:39 I've talked to Mike Norvell about this, and we had DJ on the show too. One, with DJ, I was surprised at how quickly he just sort of, you know, got into that culture, became respected by his teammates. Those guys love him already. And Mike Norvell is very excited about what he can do with DJ. I don't think he looks at DJ, like he doesn't look at DJ as a Tim Tebow type. And I think that's what when you see the size you assume that this is just like you know you're gonna bulldoze with this guy and then
Starting point is 00:33:10 you're gonna throw deep with this guy there's some there's a lot more you can do with him and Mike Norvell knows that because like when DJ was at Clemson two years ago and they went to Tallahassee that's maybe the best game he played as a Clemson Tiger. So Mike Norvell's seen the best of what DJ can do. And I think he's going to try to unlock that. You know, they've got a pretty talented backfield. We'll see what those receivers, obviously, you know, Keon Coleman's not there anymore. But I do think they're going to have some pretty talented receivers. So, yeah, I think DJ could have his own kind of renaissance.
Starting point is 00:33:43 Like the change of scenery thing is real. I give DJ you a lot of credit too, because he knew he wanted to go to Florida State and he stuck with them. And Florida State tried to feel out Cam Ward, but he continued to go on those visits to Tallahassee and he stuck with them. Well, I'll stop you, Pete.
Starting point is 00:34:00 DJ went there without an offer. Right. They were going to have Cam Ward and DJ in basically the same weekend, different days, but the same weekend. Wow. And DJ goes without the offer, which at that level of transfer portal recruit, that does not happen. No.
Starting point is 00:34:15 But he wanted to play there, and he wanted to show them he wanted to play there. Yeah. Totally. Man. So we keep going. This one back over to Andy. Going to the trenches. Offensive lineman Seth McLaughlin.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Oh, man. This is such an interesting story, period. Seth McLaughlin is going from Alabama to Ohio State. He's the center from Alabama. Remember the Rose Bowl last year? All of the snap issues. It was one of those things. I remember sitting in the press box and saying to the person next last year, all of the snap issues. It was a whole, like it was one of those things. I remember sitting in the press box and saying to the person next to me, he has to transfer
Starting point is 00:34:50 like, as this is going on, because the thing about Seth McLaughlin, you have to understand he's a great blocker. He's a phenomenal blocker. And it almost was like, this was a case of the yips more than anything else. And my thing was, okay, you got to get out of there because they're never going to forgive you or forget this. So go somewhere else. And if the yips still are there, you can play guard and be an NFL guard and that'll be fine. But he's gone to Ohio State, he's gone to Columbus and he's slotted in as their starting center. And it sounds like whatever issues were there are gone. So I hope that's the case and because i i've i'm not sure i've ever felt so bad for a player as i felt for seth mclaughlin during a rose bowl i mean that's a word if this is sort of unprecedented i mean we're talking about a microscope on one play
Starting point is 00:35:41 now granted it's one of the biggest snaps of that kid's career and the setting and all that stuff but you want to talk about a gift for ohio state i mean this is a extremely high quality center prospect that you're essentially getting because they kicked him out the club like this is absolutely a guy that you take and plug in right away and is going to be a fixture on this offensive front just an interesting note too on this one uh belief he made his official visit to ohio state the same day they brought in will howard they landed like both commitments within 24 hours and and obviously they're gonna be spending a lot of time together this fall okay cody we're moving over to the wide receiver position, CJ Daniels.
Starting point is 00:36:31 CJ Daniels, that is liberty to the Louisiana State University. Bingo. Yep. Yeah, so this is obviously LSU had an extremely strong year on offense last year. They lose their two big-time weapons, right? Malik Nabors, Brian Thomas, both first- first round picks the guys they have coming in behind them, not untalented prospects, right? The problem is they're unproven. CJ Daniels is the opposite of that. CJ Daniels put on a clinic at Liberty last year and should step into an extremely high volume role at LSU. Him alongside Kyron Lacy,
Starting point is 00:37:06 a lot of options in the slot there with LSU. He's going to be catching passes though from Garrett Nussmeier, which will be extremely interesting going into Baton Rouge. But there's a lot of opportunity for CJ Daniels to see a ton of targets in this offense. Garrett Nussmeier likes to rip the football.
Starting point is 00:37:24 He is not scared to air it out. So expect C.J. Daniels' name to be heard pretty often in Tiger Stadium this year. This is a big one, too, and Cody can attest to it. For a minute, it looked like he might go back to Liberty for a day or two, and he obviously goes to LSU, really likes what he sees and sticks there. I mean, defensive line is still a huge question for LSU this season,
Starting point is 00:37:49 but they definitely filled the holes in the wide receiver room. So, interested to see how that plays out. All right, here we go. Another wide receiver here for Andy. Wide receiver, Bo Collins. Bo Collins is going from Clemson to Notre Dame, but in a weird way because he was graduating from Clemson and then transferring to Notre Dame as a grad transfer.
Starting point is 00:38:15 And if I'm not mistaken, he was attending Notre Dame's practices as a guest, essentially, was not practicing with the team during spring because he was still a student at Clemson. Right. Correct. It's a really interesting, it's a really interesting pick up too, because it flew under the radar, all things considered compared to some other really big names that were available. Well, and this is a position of need for, for Notre Dame. And it's a situation where Bo probably needs a change of scenery. Listen, Clemson has been searching for the next T Higgins since T Higgins has left and they haven't found it yet. And maybe they haven't one of their young
Starting point is 00:38:50 guys this year, but that has been probably the biggest difference between the ultra successful version of Clemson, where it just felt like there was this assembly line of incredible receivers, uh, dating back to Deandre Hopkins, Adam Humphreys, Sammy Watkins, Mike Williams, T Higgins, Amari Rogers, like you name it. They just, Hunter Renfro, they just had so many deadly receivers and they've not had a difference maker really at that position. Bo Collins was one of those when he was recruited, he was supposed to be, but he hasn't really been, but he goes to Notre Dame where you know is he gonna be is he gonna be the the number one receiver I probably not but they need more playmakers out there they need anybody who can help and I think
Starting point is 00:39:37 he can help them yeah I agree I think it's just somebody that Notre Dame you know this is a perfect opportunity for both parties, right? If Bo Collins comes in, gets catch balls from Riley Leonard, and I think this is something that could essentially give him a spark that he's needed. Kate Klubnick had some struggles last year at Clemson. I think Riley Leonard is somebody that they feel like they can trust to deliver footballs to their skill guys and Bo Collins fits that uh build of guys that you can essentially feed the ball to and just let him do what he does best so yeah I think this works for both parties well and Jade uh Jaden Greathouse started out last year pretty well and then got hurt so we never really got to see him
Starting point is 00:40:22 get going and then Jordan F, maybe the most interesting one, slot guy who also a star midfielder on the lacrosse team, helped Notre Dame's lacrosse team win the national title this year. Another guy I didn't put on here that I almost did is the Florida International wide receiver, Chris Mitchell. Yeah. He had a really productive career at ford atlantic i mean ford international um and interested to see how he plays out the question is will you put the the
Starting point is 00:40:50 guy who transferred for the receiver who transferred from fau to somewhere is he on the list i can't i can't i can't give i'm not gonna i'm not gonna make you i literally couldn't even tell you who you're talking about so hopefully that goes for me to steal. Let's go. All right. Here's an interesting one that I won't be surprised if it goes for, you know, quarterback Ty Thompson. So Ty trying to think we're tied. So I know it was Oregon to Tulane.
Starting point is 00:41:25 Oh, bingo. There you go. Good job. Shout out to my former student worker, co-worker, that is now quality control on Tulane, which is the reason I remember that. But yeah, I mean, Ty Thompson was a really coveted kid out of high school. I remember when we got him to camp at Texas A&M. This is somebody who's looked the part for a really long time. I think he
Starting point is 00:41:46 just needed an opportunity. And especially with what Michael Pratt was doing at Tulane, you plug in someone like Ty Thompson, who I think arguably probably has more arm talent than someone like Michael Pratt. I think the biggest thing for him in this Tulane offense is getting the reps and getting consistent and playing at game speed, right? This is someone that's going to be needing a lot of reps. And I think at Tulane and the way that offense is catered to the quarterback, Ty Thompson could really become that player that we really thought he was going to be out of high school. Well, and he waited his turn at Oregon and got passed over,
Starting point is 00:42:22 recruited over when they brought in Bo Nix. And so he was very patient but yeah it's it's time for him to figure out if he if he's capable of being a starter at this level and two lanes a good spot to try more andy right then they bring in dante more they did so and that was the fourth time i left yeah so yeah yeah all right this next one is on here more because i want to have it as a conversation topic than it is um anything else and funny enough it falls to andy uh quarterback jayden rashada that is well don't sue me if i get this wrong jayden but uh let's see well initially committed to mi, flipped to Florida, signed with Florida,
Starting point is 00:43:06 never showed up at Florida, went to Arizona State, started two games at Arizona State, got hurt, played in the Arizona game, thought he might be the starter, broke a finger moving a box while moving apartments, didn't participate in spring practice, put his name in the portal after spring practice, and is now at Georgia, where he is suing Billy Napier. It was impressive. Does he get extra points for that? That was amazing. Yeah, I know,
Starting point is 00:43:28 man. Yeah. I've got some experience talking about this particular player. Oh yeah. That one's, that one's interesting to me because now we're starting to get some of these younger prospects. I think ironically Dante Moore,
Starting point is 00:43:44 who we just talked about, right? These are guys that played meaningful snaps very early on in their career and take step, I would say it's fair to say, take step ups in level of going to their next destination and are essentially going to be the backup or guys that are going to sort of sit and not play as many meaningful snaps as they did early on in their career. I wonder if this is a trend that we're going to see down the line. Is it a way for these guys to sort of develop, take time off, not feel so much pressure
Starting point is 00:44:14 to be thrown into the fire so much? I'm just, I'm curious what the thought process here is from some of these guys, um, down the line. I'm just curious if this is going to be something we see more of in the future. It seemed with Dante Moore, Cody, that was the thinking that, okay, because remember Dante Moore was committed to Oregon, flipped to UCLA because he wanted to play immediately. It feels like he got to play and realized,
Starting point is 00:44:38 wait, I'm maybe not ready for this. Perhaps Dan Lanning and company were right when they said, I need a little more seasoning before I'm going to be ready. And so I think that's what happened. I think with Jade Rashada, it might be a little bit of that on Rashada's side, also not being able to pass up the opportunity to go to Georgia. From talking to people around Georgia,
Starting point is 00:44:57 what I gather they want out of Jade Rashada is what you mentioned. They have played some significant snaps. Now he got thrown in to their first game their first game last year, Arizona state, cause drew pine was hurt. Ended up having to start against Oklahoma state in game two plate, like played in the territorial cup game. And, you know, so he's played that nobody else at Georgia has other than Carson Beck. So if Carson Beck gets hurt, you know, you would have to go to Garner Stockton, who's
Starting point is 00:45:24 not really played significant snaps at all. And so I think that's what they want in the room is somebody who has been in that moment before. And if you're Jaden Rashad, it's hard to pass up. And then you have the only in college football story of a Georgia quarterback suing Florida's coach for fraud. I'll just jump into real quick here. It's, it's the college sports business reporter. I mean, wants to jump in and say he is suing Florida and not Florida.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Actually Florida, Florida, very quick to point that out. Yeah. Had to correct that one real quick. Slip of the, slip of the tongue. But he is the suing Florida head coach,
Starting point is 00:46:03 Billy Napier, former, former employee, Marcus Castro Walker, and then the booster, Hugh Hath tongue. Um, but he is assuming Florida head coach, Billy Napier, former, former employee, Marcus Castro Walker, and then, um, the booster Q Hathcock. And,
Starting point is 00:46:09 um, as Andy said, only in college football. Uh, I mean, I was sources told me that Kirby smart knew about it, signed off on it. And now his backup quarterback is going to be suing,
Starting point is 00:46:19 um, the Florida head coach should be interested in to see how long this lawsuit lasts. Do they reach a settlement this summer? Does this play out in the courtroom during the season or will it get delayed? Um, a lot of, a lot of questions there.
Starting point is 00:46:32 I, I am just amazed at how this all went down. Like I remember the night you told me he was going to the portal and, and you very quickly informed me that, that Georgia might be the destination, you know, shortly after that. And I was like, no no that's not possible let me send this text out and some texts come back like oh
Starting point is 00:46:50 yeah it's georgia i was like no way come on but that's and and so this lawsuit is very interesting too because you know i i think if it gets to discovery there'll be a lot of juicy bits in there and people say well you know jayden rashada also wouldn't want to get it i don't think jayden rashada cares if it gets to discovery like jayden rashada has been painted as you know a villain he's been painted as incompetent and he's he and his team um they can't make him look any worse than he already has so he's just gonna stick this thing out i think and then it's up to to the the folks who've been sued to decide how far you want to take this yeah all right guys well we are gonna get into the bottom half real quick and and i know we're uh running a
Starting point is 00:47:38 little short on time not short but i don't want to make this go on forever so we don't need to give the five minute breakdown round Hang around, baby. Uh, at the same time though, I have a feeling this is going to decide the winner of these next few. Um, all right, Cody, we move over to you.
Starting point is 00:47:51 Uh, linebacker, John Pius. Ooh, fortunately I do. I did give this one. My little index card cheat sheet had the William and Mary to Wisconsin transfer.
Starting point is 00:48:06 Woo. Mr. John Pius. Andy, My little index card cheat sheet had the William & Mary to Wisconsin transfer on it. Mr. John Pius. Andy, did you have that one in your back pocket by chance? No, I didn't. I was not going to be able to steal that one. I'll take it. So, yeah, William & Mary's been producing some guys, man. They do a good little job. So, in Wisconsin, I think took, what, three backers?
Starting point is 00:48:21 They did, yeah. Alone in this cycle. So, clearly, they filled a need. John Pius fills it. Killer. That's a great take. He's really good. I mean, he's had 40 and a half career tackles for loss
Starting point is 00:48:34 and then also 24 and a half sacks. I mean, we'll have to see how the game goes. Downhill, man. Yeah. But he's going to be really fun to watch on Saturdays. Agreed. All right. We keep going.
Starting point is 00:48:45 Wide receiver, Chris Brazil, Tulane to Tennessee. Tennessee's very excited about him. I don't know if this other guy's in here and I'm sorry if I'm, if I'm spoiling one, but Holden stays the tight end from Notre Dame that Tennessee got. They feel like Chris Brazel and Holden stays could be be very big targets for Nico Iamealaba this year.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Yep. All right. And I was at Tennessee last week. Sorry for you. I was at Tennessee last week, and they raved about these guys they brought in. They said they looked the part. I mean, the way they've been moving around, Tennessee is going to be a problem this year, guys. I think they have a real shot.
Starting point is 00:49:26 Yeah. All right, Cody, you landed the player who's on his fourth school now. I'm screwed. Go ahead. Running back Jaron Mangum. Oh, okay. So, see, he was at Michigan at one one point michigan state colorado michigan state okay yeah see i'm gonna just go ahead and take my l here before i say any dumb school names
Starting point is 00:49:54 he's a brother the two brothers left michigan state got yelled at by by michigan state for leaving yes that's right yes the question is like where's he going um so he had two he was at two schools before michigan state too he's at usf right i don't know what the other one is so he started at colorado went to you okay he was a caught well i was gonna guess colorado is the destination so i'm not guessing that now um state and now he's staying in the big 10 i'll give that hint if you if either one of you want to give it a guess i don't know if i can take the points off of this oh this was mine anyway no yeah go ahead i i know this one was me yeah so either way if you know it i don't know well you're giving me hints that you didn't give Cody. So somewhere else in the Big Ten. It's not Michigan.
Starting point is 00:50:47 The brother went to Michigan. I don't know. It can't be Indiana, huh? It's not Indiana. Is it Minnesota? Is he rowing the boat? Oh, it is Minnesota. Oh, all right.
Starting point is 00:51:03 I was going to guess Colorado. I had Colorado in my head, and then you told me he was at Colorado before. I was like, Oh, that's why it's burned in there. You've seen it. We're going to give you half a point for that one.
Starting point is 00:51:15 Thank you. I, yeah, I don't deserve. Can we get a half ding river? All right. We're going to stick with Andy here. We're going to go to the quarterback position.
Starting point is 00:51:26 He is now on to his third school, Taequann Robertson. Oh, where he started. I don't know. I'm not even going to try. Me neither. This is a – go ahead. You want me – okay. He started at Penn State, correct?
Starting point is 00:51:44 Correct. Yes. I remember that now that that part is jogging my memory but i don't i don't know where he is now me neither so he started at penn state had a really good 2022 season at uconn um didn't play the most this past year and then he's now at kansas state oh wow hey there's another one so interesting what what classification is he there pete do you know i don't have that in front of me what year did he start at penn state like was he a 22 guy um he started at because i was curious if he kind of falls in line with that rashada dante moore okay so he's a vet going to be a backup at kansas state very interesting yep former that was gonna say he was pretty highly touted coming out
Starting point is 00:52:29 but i'm assuming that's kansas state playing insurance and saying like hey we want a guy that's got snaps something happens to avery plug and play guy that can at least hopefully limit and a similar skill set right because he's a he's a pretty good runner exactly yes so you don't have to change your offense too much if if avery goes down okay interesting that's kind of like what robbie ashford's doing at uh at south carolina yeah yes exactly unless hopefully robbie ashford's not on the list correct no he would be oregon or auburn south carolina yeah right scoring at home all right cody we are going to give you an interesting one here. Running back to Corey Merritt. Okay, so this one is interesting.
Starting point is 00:53:12 I'm going to say, okay, so New Mexico State. New Mexico. Submits New Mexico. Oh, yeah, you're right. Yeah, you're right. Well, don't give it to me. It's all right. New Mexico, Arizona to Ole Miss. Back to Arizona, right? Yes. Wow. I'll take that so I mean that's a recent one right
Starting point is 00:53:32 last night like yesterday I was gonna say like Jacory I mean he ran for over a thousand yards I think in New Mexico right I mean this is somebody that was I think the focal point of that New Mexico offense and this is someone that originally i think the focal point of that new mexico offense and this is someone that originally committed to arizona right andy or excuse me pete i think this was a couple months ago right yeah and he had flipped excuse me flipped to old miss pretty crowded running back room now at old miss taking at least like three or four running back transfers goes back to arizona i think that is a huge win you pair him up with with Noah Fafita and to Tyra McMillan, that's a dangerous and dynamic offense.
Starting point is 00:54:10 He's a guy who's played a lot of football too. There's some eligibility questions at Ole Miss. We'll see if that gets all sorted out at Arizona, but definitely a guy who can be a high impact guy if all goes well. For sure. All right, Andy, over to you. I'll take that point. Yeah, we'll give you that point.
Starting point is 00:54:25 We'll give you that point. I'm not confident. My confidence is drained after this. Cornerback Greedy Vance. Oh. Was it Florida State? Yep. Not Colorado.
Starting point is 00:54:44 No. I don't know either. not colorado no i don't know either where did he wind up he was was he originally at lsu um no he started it no okay he seemed it seems like someone named greedy vance should play for lSU. Yeah. Shout out Greedy Williams. Yeah, exactly. That's what I'm saying. Do you want to hear it? So he left Florida State, and he's going to...
Starting point is 00:55:15 Is this a one-time transfer, Pete? One-time transfer. Take a stab. You can at least take a stab. I'm trying. I'm trying. I don't know it either. So Missouri needed transfers,
Starting point is 00:55:26 but they got a transfer from Clemson to come in and start. LSU need quarterback transfers, but I've already managed to eliminate them. Texas A&M. I like that guess. I'm going to go, like you said, safe bet. Is it Louisville? No. Okay.
Starting point is 00:55:48 Go ahead. What do you got, Pete? He goes to USC. Oh! That's right. He lost so many DBs, too. Oh, that makes so much sense. Danton Lynn took a bunch of similarly, like, physically similar corners.
Starting point is 00:55:59 Gosh, we talked about that. Oh, that's brutal. Yep. That's tough. Okay. That was a good one two left and then uh we'll tally this up all right cody we go to you quarterback max brosmer max brosmer was where was he at because i know the school. Um, okay.
Starting point is 00:56:25 So is it Delaware? No, go ahead. Andy, what do you got? Cause I knew New Hampshire, Minnesota,
Starting point is 00:56:32 New Hampshire. That's what it was. Ethan, Kelly, Ike Monis hit the portal with a quickness when Max, the running back, that's who he was thrown to the Dylan love kid. That's right. He was, he was their best best the best pass catcher at new hampshire last year gosh great pool oh that was that might be the that might have been the nail right there guys
Starting point is 00:56:56 i think that was it so yeah and aathan kelly i'm honest by the way your new starter at rutgers yeah yeah oh i forgot their starter left too that's right all right I've been Wimpset now Kentucky I hope that wasn't your next one Pete nope we're gonna close it out we got one last one go ahead he's a running back this is over to Andy now running back Marcus Carroll I I think I'm two up with one hole to go. So I'm feeling pretty good about this one. I don't know. I don't know. Phone it in.
Starting point is 00:57:30 Yeah. Did he play at Maryland at one point? No, that was. I'll just go ahead and take it. I'm just going to not say words anymore. I feel pretty good. So he was a really productive running back last year at Georgia State. Now he makes the jump to the SEC, and he goes to Missouri.
Starting point is 00:57:48 Oh, that's right. Replacing – what's his name? Because he's gone now, right? Cody Schrader's gone, yeah. This is not the level of jump that Cody Schrader made from D2 to the SEC. But, yeah, Georgia State to – and we've seen a couple of good Georgia State players head to the SEC
Starting point is 00:58:06 through the years. One thing that Sean Elliott didn't like about it, and that's one of the reasons why he's now an assistant coach in the SEC instead of the head coach at Georgia State. But, yeah, okay. Well, that's the thing. Now we're just running behind Caden Green. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:58:21 We were talking about Caden Green earlier. And I have no concerns about Missouri's offense. I've said this a bunch of times. It's the defense that I need to see. How have you replaced some of the parts you lost? But offensively, I think they're going to be fine. And Marcus Carroll, listen, if you can be on an offense where you've got Brady Cook and Luther Burden in the passing game,
Starting point is 00:58:42 you're going to run into some light boxes. Absolutely. I mean, that's just a guy where he's going to be productive solely from the offense right like i mean you could hand andy the ball back there he's gonna do a good job but that's what i'm saying is like the way this often spreads the ball out like you mentioned those light boxes he's going to hammer people between the tackles. All right. So the score at this moment is Andy has an 11 and a half and Cody has eight. I'm taking things into my own hands here and we're doing Final Jeopardy.
Starting point is 00:59:16 Oh, boy, man. All right. So before I give you guys the question, I'll write this down on a piece of paper. You guys tell me how much you want to wager. Strong. question uh i'll write this down on a piece of paper and you guys tell me how much you want to wager strong um well i mean i'll go i'll make andy sweat it i'm gonna go four okay okay see i'm bad at math but i guess i'll wager one one because i only need one to to beat him if he gets four he has eight right i have eleven and a half okay so this is how it's gonna work i'm gonna give you guys a player okay i don't want to know where he committed to we're're going to mix this up. I want the school, the junior college he started at. Ooh. I think Tony's got the advantage here.
Starting point is 01:00:12 This is former Oklahoma quarterback, and now Louisiana Monroe starting quarterback, General Booty. Oh, General Booty. Where did he go to juneco pete can you sing the final jeopardy i'm only i know it's one of the ones in texas obviously it was not blin he didn't go to blin and i'm only going to say this because he i read a story about an insane case involving the high kick dance team and a a mom of a dancer from high school who kidnapped the the cat the coach and captain of the this junior college's high kick dance team kilgore college gosh that's that was my guess too. It's not Kilgore? Oh, I thought it was Kilgore for sure.
Starting point is 01:01:07 Tyler. Tyler. Oh. Oh, wow. We were geographically close, Cody. Whatever rails this show was on, we have completely fallen off them. And I love it. I really appreciate Pete making sure General Booty got into the show, but not in an obvious way.
Starting point is 01:01:26 That's the best part. It would have been, I could have put it one, and you guys both would have got it. Yes. That was brutal. Man, I was worried, because your knowledge of Texas is a lot better than mine, of the state of Texas. So Andy's our winner.
Starting point is 01:01:42 When you were pulling Kilgore, I was i was like oh that's it like you nailed it i oh i just read like a four-year-old texas monthly story about that case a few weeks ago if you haven't read that story it's incredible yeah it sounds phenomenal so i'm in pete nakos thank you so much you were an incredible game show host we're gonna do this again i think i got it wrong what is it killed no no no i'm telling you how to go to the game show host you are i'm just joking it was tyler he is from alan okay sorry all right all right yeah yeah wow oh that's what i get for complimenting you as a game show host beat
Starting point is 01:02:20 that was tremendous everybody hope we learned something. I hope we are a little better prepared for who's playing where, because there's a lot of people that have moved around. We may have to do this again before the season, Pete. I could come up with a whole nother batch. I feel confident. Oh gosh.
