Ingram Smith, Bud Elliott back again from another episode, the No Cast, but look forward to jumping into a couple different things tonight.

As always, we're fortunate to be able to leverage some of the experiences and knowledge that you get from your national recruiting responsibilities.

You have been all over the All American game, under armor All American game.

If I'm not correct here over the past couple of days, look forward to getting your first hand opinion as to where Florida State sits with some pretty talented high school recruits.

What is left on the board anyway for this year's class.

We will do something that we've talked about for a while in response to listener feedback and that is we'll be able to be very fortunate to draw upon the knowledge of Matt Minick when it comes to the Florida State Basketball program.

We have a real good conversation with him planned for the back end of the podcast.

So as always, want to thank our friends, Louisiana Hot Sauce, title sponsor, the No Cast that make podcasts like these possible.

They've been a great partner for us in 2018 and here's to getting started 2019 on a positive note.

No doubt, man, looking forward to it.

Before we get to new business, we need to get to old business.

Got a couple of items of old business tonight.

Since we last left you, what's it been about nine, ten days, I think?

I had a great Christmas and got to spend some time with family and now it's time to podcast again, but it's kind of weird because I feel like we need to touch on these topics briefly,

but we've already covered them very much in depth over the last episode or two and the first one would be the hire of Kindle Browse.

I think we said the last time we signed off that I would expect that to be done by the time their bowl game was done.

And indeed, like three o'clock, I think the next day on an NFL Sunday before could see poor Christmas, that news was dropped.

I think we've covered this a lot.

Some people have concerns with the hire, understandable concerns, others don't.

I think from a football standpoint, you probably could not have made a better hire.

We'll have to see what the ultimate level of backlash will be.

You know, Florida State obviously tried to do diligence and interested to know exactly what that entailed.
