Welcome to Andy Staples-on-3. It is a very special dear Andy edition of Andy Staples-on-3 because we are joined by On-3's newest employee.

The best tire we've made so far, if I do say so myself.

Steve Wilfong, how are we doing? Well, good morning. Thanks for that introduction, but I'm just

excited to be part of this fabulous team, a lot of terrific hires. That's one of the reasons why

I'm over here. So many people that have impacted this space are now working it on three and just

a pleasure to be on the same team as you, my friend. Well, you are the host of the Wilfong Whip Around on the On Three recruits channel,

which if you're not subscribed to that with the five-star flex with Philip Dukes,

with Josh Newberg, with the Wilfong Whip around now, what are you even doing?

You should be subscribed to this channel, the regular On- Sports channel, and the On Three Recruits channel.

But Steve, you basically pioneered the way we cover recruiting and have done that through the years.

And I will ask you the first dear Steve question, because the reader sent in some really good ones.

But I got one for you. How is the coverage

of recruiting changed even in the last three years now that transfer portal recruiting is such a

huge part of it? Well, I think that it's more saturated than it used to be there. It used to be a lot

less people covering recruiting,

but now that it has become more mainstream and less niche, there's a lot more interest in these

prospects, a lot more interest in roster building and how the transfer portal impacts that.

There's a lot more people out there covering college football recruiting in the transfer portal

right now.

Yeah, it's exploded and we see it with the numbers.

I mean, people love reading about this stuff.

And it's become a kind of 24-7, 365 thing.
