It is the middle of the offseason, but there's never really an off season here because we've got some very interesting numbers for you that came out of the On3 Elite Series last week.

0:18.7

Remember, we had a bunch of the best recruits in the class of

0:21.5

2025, joined us in Nashville. We talked to them about all kinds of things. They talked to us about

0:27.4

all kinds of things. And then we had some experts talk to them about the journey they're about

0:32.8

to go on. One of the things that each did, in addition to getting measured, and you can go look at the actual measurements of these guys which is great because you know we had cody baller and charles power doing combine style measurements so we're not gatekeeping that stuff it's all available for you you can see just how big these guys are, which is,
