Welcome to Irish Illustrated Insider, brought you by Irish Illustrated.com.

Pete Sampson with Tim Priestern and Simomalli.

It's been a couple weeks since our last podcast, and of course, we've had a bunch of off-season news to cover.

Some good, some bad from an underdeme perspective.

But let's jump into the team stuff since we got all sorts of recruiting to cover in the opening

preview in our second segment of the pod. We'll talk commitments in the first segment,

but let's start off with Greg Bryant out four games suspended. I don't think anyone here was

stunned by this. We had sort of chatted about it because it'd kind of been under the surface,

roiling a little bit for maybe a month.

But, you know, Tim, you wrote a story about the third back situation.

And, I mean, if he wasn't a five-star prospect, I think we would have,

I don't even know if we'd discuss

him on this podcast. Yeah, I agree. I think that, and they're so prepared for it. It's, it's clear that they knew something was coming down because there's, there's, there's two raids of looking at it. One, and this isn't to say he didn't have a great spring. Brian Kelly couldn't talk, couldn't stop talking about how great CJ ProSice was.

And two, we didn't talk to Greg Bryan in the spring.

It's a pretty clear indication that Brian Kelly couldn't stop talking about how great CJ ProSise was, and two, we didn't talk to Greg Bryan in the spring.

It's a pretty clear indication that something's going on because he didn't choose not to like Everg Olson did.

And you know, they were ready for it.

They didn't necessarily know for a fact what the exact suspension would be, but I think that they were prepared for this.

I think that's why ProSise got more reps. I think that's why it's officially moved. You have, especially now. But it made sense anyway. And I think they're well prepared for it. And as you said, they do need a third back. The third back can still be Greg Bryant if he comes back with the correct approach for the final six games. I think I mentioned in there. I don't know what you get from Greg Bryant in Game 5 at Clemson to get your feet wet. So I think you might be looking at Greg Brian for half a season. And it's behind the curve. Greg Brian for half a season. Way behind the curve now. Barely had half a season last year. I mean, we first started talking about this. Was it in December?

I mean, we knew that there was something up with this, and we threw it out, but, you know, you don't have anything definitive and you kind of let it go, and then it comes to the surface. But, look, Tarian Folston's ready to be a workhorse. He's well into his career now. He needs to get off to a fast start,

which he really hasn't done either of his first two years. So he's your workhorse. We know what ProSise is capable of doing. And you have two freshmen coming in, Dexter Williams being the higher

rated of the two. So yeah, you're right. You know, you always have this ideal of, oh,
