It's the mayor of Michigan Twitter, Scott Bell, Scott, good morning.

How are you?

Great as always.

Happy to be here.

Hey, man, there's so much to unpack.

So much happened in the last week, right?

A lot to unpack.

So let's start off first with the big news, some of the biggest news.

And Michigan football, Michigan recruiting history.

The flipping of Bryce Underwood, the number one player in the country, the number one quarterback,

the one of the top players to come out of the state of Michigan in recent memory.

Your thoughts and the significance of this flip yeah absolutely huge both both on a

micro and a macro level um i mean first and foremost you're getting um the the biggest recruit

michigan football's ever had and and there have been some incredibly talented people coming to Ann Arbor to play football.

But from a quantitative standpoint, he's at the top in terms of rankings.

So first and foremost, we've seen what happens if you don't have a quarterback and how things

can go off the rails and props to everyone involved within the Michigan football program to really make that a priority and to get this across the finish line because there were a lot of people making jokes about, oh, yeah, Michigan thinks they're going to flip Bryce Underwood, blah, blah, blah.

Well, that turned from a pipe dream to a reality real quick.

And props for getting that done because this is an incredibly dynamic talent

who is going to have a chance to really turn things around in Ann Arbor.
