  Let me ask you this. The second transfer portal window opens Monday, go
• 0:04
  for fifteen days, and it will be a very very hot time. You
• 0:09
  know. So you look at some teams like Alabama possibly need to make in
• 0:11
  some moves, you know, maybe Miami, You look at Washington, USC,
• 0:17
  Michigan. You know, would you expect we saw Colorado last year Deon
• 0:21
  Sanders really flipped that roster. In the second portal window. Do you expect
• 0:24
  to see a team or two with not Colorado movement, but with some big
• 0:28
  movement. Well, I mean, Michigan will be interesting to see if these
• 0:32
  are the quarterbacks they're going to ride with into the regular season. High of
• 0:35
  State, it's going to have some changes on their roster, as they have
• 0:39
  already. I mean, I think quarterbacks are so interesting. Which ones go
• 0:43
  in the second place? Because I'm put together a big ten quarterback previews for
• 0:47
  next year, and before this second window opened, they have nine of their
• 0:52
  twenty eighteen are transfers. So, I mean, you and I both know
• 0:56
  this is the way the game has gone. It's not going that way.
• 1:00
  Has gone that way, scientist face. There'll be some more changes along the
• 1:03
  way. Let's finish it up with the National Football League. I'll try to
• 1:06
  grab you before the draft as well or right after the draft. You know,
• 1:10
  obviously every year is a new crop of quarterbacks. We you know,
• 1:12
  always talk about the crops, and you know, can this be that special
• 1:15
  group? You look at Caleb Williams looks like he slided for one, maybe
• 1:19
  a Drake may or Jaylen Daniels at two and or three. JJ McCarthy's moved
• 1:23
  up. You know, bow Nicks. Do you think the draft, at
• 1:26
  least at face value at quarterback is as deep as is it looks like potentially
• 1:32
  or you know, are we Is this just again another instance of you got
• 1:36
  to have a quarterback in the NFL and there's some guys that people are just
• 1:38
  going to reach for. Yeah, I think it's more of the latter.
• 1:42
  I mean, I'm not talking down about any of these guys. I just
• 1:45
  think that Caleb, Drake JJ will be first round pick, Michael Pennox will
• 1:51
  probably get drafted in the first round, and maybe Bonet and some of it
• 1:56
  is need, some of it is you know, just that what they're worth,
• 2:00
  you know, quarterbacks, That's how the draft works. JJ McCarthy is
• 2:05
  going to be very interesting. I don't think there's any doubt in my mind
• 2:08
  Cayleb Williams will go first. But if somehow JJ McCarthy is drafted ahead of
• 2:14
  Jadon and Dre, I mean, that would be the first kind of wow
• 2:17
  moment of the draft. And like you said, any of those guys go
• 2:21
  in in the order, I don't know how many are going to be long
• 2:24
  term franchise quarterbacks, and that includes Caleb Williams, but I know they're going
• 2:29
  to get drafted in the top ten. Make sure to find them at the
• 2:31
  Sporting News and of course check them out on X at Billbinder ninety two also
• 2:35
  Sporting News as well. Bill, thank you so much. Look enjoy the
• 2:37
  Masters. Maybe Tyker can make that run this weekend, I hope so.
• 2:40
  Thanks so much for having me, and I'll talk to you before the draft.
