Hey, hey, where you been, but got to talk is about to begin, hey, hey, hey, come on in.

0:26.8

Back to your Thursday afternoon book. I talked to him every day from there and Steven Beans,

0:30.4

we just watched the second day of a high state football practice. We were in there at eight

0:34.1

30 on Thursday morning. We watched four periods, about 20 minutes of stuff. And then afterward,

0:39.6

we talked to offensive coordinator receivers coach Brian Hartlein and 12 players because they are

0:46.0

off for spring break next week. So Jerry, I may get in the SID staff gave us a boatload of dudes to

0:51.3

talk to Marvin Harrison, Jr., all the second year receivers, Xavier Johnson, and then a bunch of

1:50.3

Thursday morning as well, when we were sort of, you know, we had four periods. And I thought there

1:54.2

was a time where he was sort of over more or kind of hanging around the quarterback area. And then

1:59.2

consequently, Ryan Day was not over at the quarterback area. Ryan Day was now floating around a

2:03.1

little bit more. And that was sort of the point of all this, right? It's not just Brian Hartlein's

2:08.4
