What's up, guys?

This is E.J. Holland with the Wolverine.com.

Back for another week of the Wolverine Live Recruiting podcast alongside my co-host, Zach Libby.

What's up, Zach?

It's kind of been a stressful week with the Harbaugh news, but kind of a happy stressful week with Jim Harba, Jim Harba announcing his return
