This is Irish Illustrated Insider. I'm Tim Priest with Pete Sampson. Tim O'Malley. We'll be joining us shortly. We are now in our weekly schedule. It's Monday, July 8th, and we got together with you folks a week ago. Not a ton has happened, mainly recruiting stuff.

0:22.9

Important recruiting stuff.

0:24.2

Caleb Balfordered the cornerback from Mississippi, Xavier Watts,

0:28.5
