Brian, in the final part of today's show here in the Irish Breakdown podcast, brought

you by our friends over at Fandul.

We just got done talking about the 2023 class and the role that they're going to have on this team in 2026.

Let's talk about the 24 class that we're also filing into the very underrated, grossly underrated by major recruiting services when they were coming in.

But like we've talked about before, the second you step foot on a college campus and you become a part of a college football program,

I don't really buy into the recruiting rankings anymore, especially when you get to the level that this 2024 recruiting class is in.

Now, 23 class, we believe to be the heart and soul of this team. They're the culture

drivers. They've been with Marcus Freeman the longest, but this 2024 class, that's when you start

to enter the conversation of Star Power and not to slight anybody in the 23 class, but

when you start breaking down who's in this 2024 recruiting cycle, the vision becomes a little

bit clear.

The star power comes from this class.

It does, Trevin.

It's not really close.

I mean, look, the 23 class is volleyball important.

There's some big-time football players in that class.

Your best defensive linemen is probably in the 23 class.

You're, you know, arguably your two best linebackers from a starting production standpoint

from that class.

We'll see with Kingston as he comes back from an injury.

But I don't know that you could debate that the highest ceiling linebacker isn't from that

class.
