Hey, welcome. I'm not going to do the Chip Patterson intro. I really can't do that justice. I'm Bud Elliott. That's Andrew Ivins. This is cover three, and this is the cover three recruiting hour. I just figured, hey, man, we've got signing day coming up in a couple months here. Excited. It's really time. Even if you're not a diehard recruiting fan, you watch this national

title race. You know it matters. No better guy to bring on Andrew Ivan's director of Scattered 24-7

My favorite thing is, you know, in these former five stars or even, you know, guys that had a

really good season in, in 2024, you know, when they kind of stumble, I'm like, okay, if you

could just construct the roster, who's the quarterback that would be your guy, whether that's in

the college or NFL? And, you know, it's not a long list of names.

So, again, I think it's really hard not only to play the position,

but to predict future success at quarterback.
