This is an IHeart podcast.

And welcome in Lake Kick on the air.

It is Thursday night, July 15th, the year of our Lord, 2021, jam-facked wall-to-wall. We got media days coming up next week. We got a big weekend on tap, though. I don't know that most people realize quite how big this weekend is going to be, not just for Lake Kick, but it's a massive recruiting weekend. We're going to give you a preview of like half a dozen kids. I mean, big-time kids, and we got intel on each and every one. So I'm going to

get to that. We have got numbers through the roof around here. So as we often tend to do around here,

I just want to lead it off with another thank you. Our social numbers are through the roof at

Lake Kick Josh, by the way, but also YouTube subscriptions are spiking in a time of year where it

should be down. A podcast listens are absolutely through the roof at a time of year where it should be down. Podcast listens are absolutely through the roof at a time of year where they should be down. So thank you for that. So a big recruiting weekend coming up. I'm going to dive very deeply into that in just a second. Also, we've got games that I've got circled, not even the whole season. I intended to make it through the season. I only made it through week four,

and I was already like five or six games deep. So I think I'll do it in a three-part series. The first

quarter to third of the season tonight, I got some circle games, and I'm going to tell you why.

And some of them are off the radar. I'm not necessarily talking about what you would call the

biggest games in the country. Transfer portal rankings. They're finalized. And we have taken a couple of deep dives on this. You guys have

really, really ingested that. And you love it more than I thought you would. So I'm going to talk

about the final rankings tonight. And now that we're kind of setting rosters and we know who's

going to have hoops for the season. We can talk

about some takeaways, some overarching final takeaways from the transfer portal. I mean,

Southern Cal took in nine kids, seven of them rated in the top 100 in our final rankings,

just to give you an idea of how quickly teams can overturn with this thing now. And the state of

Mississippi, I'm going to put it to you like this,

and we'll talk about it at the end of the show, could be the most interesting state in college football this year. I think Texas could give them a run for the money. The state, well, it's not, it's two states. The Carolinas will be very fascinating, but the state of Mississippi, and then I'm just going to leave it,

and we'll get to it at the very end.

But thank you so much.

Hey, I've given a couple to leave it, and we'll get to it at the very end.
