This is an IHeart podcast.

And welcome in Lake Kick is live.

It is Thursday night, January 27th, the Year of Our Lord, 2022.

Where is Jackson Dart right now?

Caleb Williams, where are you at? Will you be in the same place by the time this live broadcast goes off the air that you are right now? Probably not, but we're going to make sense of whatever we can make sense up tonight. We are jam-packed. We are high atop downtown Nashville, Tennessee. See, we are a mere 24 some odd hours coming off of our final five-star reveal show here at 24-7 sports. And we are what? Seven days from yesterday. So a week from yesterday, we are just around the corner from our National Signing Day show. The reason I paused is because I just realized yesterday, I said nine days. I thought yesterday was Monday the whole day.

I don't know why that was the case.

But anyway, there's a lot of talk about recruiting right now. And, you know, we don't do individual recruit breakdowns on the show as much, but I do have something to address tonight because there are a lot of allegations flying around. And there have been for quite a while, basically since Nick Saban came to Alabama. There's been this allegation, and you know good and well what the phrase is.

It is Bama bump.

It's Bama Bump and then you got the Bama Bump. The Bama Bump is a noun. It is an actual thing, allegedly, that takes place in the recruiting world. Well, look, am I employed by CBS in 24-7 sports? Yes, I am. Am I a mouthpiece for the company? If they pay me enough,

tonight will I be? No, I will not. So you and I will investigate together. And if, big

if, if we find evidence, I'm calling the company out. We'll do that in mere moments from now.

We will also talk about the latest in the transfer portal. There are rumors, we are well aware

of them about

Jackson Dart. Where has he been admitted to? Where will he enroll? Has he already enrolled? Is he

waiting on someone else to make a decision 3,000 miles away? All of that we will try and unpack

as best we can here with our very determined crew on late kick. We'll do that about 15 minutes from now. Also, the Tennessee

mood tracker rolls on. The mood tracker series is getting a ton of push from you guys. And

so we may not even limit it to just one program per show. We may bump it up to two programs

per show. I was talking to a player at Missouri today. He said, I listen to every show. Why haven't you done a Missouri

mood tracker yet? Well, it is in the cards. So obviously, we're going to have to bump it up from just one a show. Also, we've got Q&A, and I got a special Q&A. I'm going to ask the question, which defeats the whole purpose of viewer Q&A, but you'll see why it makes sense at the end of the show at Late Kick Josh.

Gotta make sure you're following on the social platforms.

Aside from the obvious reasons, but you'll see why it makes sense at the end of the show. At Latekick, Josh. Got to make sure you're following on the social platforms.
