Well, I was just saying to Jonathan Gavoni that I've actually got my work done early this year,

so I don't have to bother him in the crazy week before the draft.

I can be a much more considerate host and ask him to join us here, which is always a privilege.

Great time you on, John.

Appreciate you, man.

How are you?

Doing great.

Doing great.

I'm getting excited about

this draft. The last draft was, you know, maybe not quite as scintillating as our usual fare.

So I'm really excited to get into this with you. I guess where I wanted to start, though, is, you know,

I don't really have a sense of the depth of this draft.

I don't follow college that closely.

That's something that you are immersed in.

But some of the things that I've heard have indicated, like, well, the draft's a little thinner

this year.

Some of these guys are going back for NIL money or now even, like, schools you're able to

pay directly to players and even some European guys are

coming over to college. So what I wanted to ask you is just in general, how is this new

landscape, which we've been in now for a couple of years where college players are actually making

money, which you all agree is a good thing. How is that affecting the draft? How do you expect it to

affect the drafts in the next few years?
