That's employee pricing for all.

The 26 Ford Explorer Act of 4-wheel drive 402 a month with 2,500 down.

Again, there's that employee pricing.

And last but not least, 26, 4 Broncos for Big Ben, 351 a month,

the 2,500 down.

Don't you feel like an employee?

That's what you pay.

You pay what they pay when you get on board with Brighton Ford.

So yesterday, we started for you the sit-down interview with one of the top recruits in Michigan's 2027 class, the increasingly impressive 2027 class,

but there has to be a cornerstone, a foundation upon which the rest of the class is built.

For a young man, a highly recruited, coveted guy to commit to Michigan on the heels of a bad a bad loss to stay committed after the coach is fired to really lean into this new coaching staff building a relationship and helping

recruit others worthy of bringing him to the fort talking about Ricardo Kitchen play part one of

the interview with Ricardo from out of Muskegon high School yesterday. Here is part two with Ricardo Kitchen. Scheme wise, I mean, man, you could be strong side in. I think you could be weak side in. I mean, it feels like you could play anywhere on the defensive line. Yeah. Have they talked about how they envision using you when you get there? Yeah, they have. They have. So what did they say? Not too much because I ain't really thinking about, like, playing football there right now because I'm here still. I got a senior year to finish with my guys, my brothers, and just got to finish the year off strong. So I'm not really thinking about the football side, because I know what I'm going to do when I get there so the main things I worry about at the moment is over there as school um like if I have an off day who I got to talk if I need to go talk to people about school that's the many things I'm worried about right now so we talked about your strengths before the things that you do well on the football field.

What are the things that you're working on, like you say, heading in my senior year?

I got to improve on that.

You're going to say everything.
