0:00.0	So Brian, on to a little bit more of a positive note because we got some really exciting news past what happened earlier this afternoon. Malachi Fields, the star wide receiver for Virginia, entered the transfer portal, I believe, last week, if not, you know, I think last week. And there had been some murmurs around where he was going to end up in today.
0:41.4	We found out where that's going to be, and Malachi Fields is going to be wrapping up his
0:45.1	college career in South Bend, Indiana in 2025.
0:48.9	It's exciting, isn't it?
0:50.1	Right.
0:50.2	This is a big one for Notre Dame.
0:52.2	This is a big one, sir, so as you a big one sir have so you is you as you kind of
0:54.6	start to talk about you know what this one means it's it's it's no this is what nardame wanted in the
0:59.8	portal first of all big picture this is what nether name wanted they needed to go into the portal
1:03.4	and get a receiver an impact receiver and malachi fields is that but not only just a receiver
1:08.4	they also needed to go into this one and get a receiver that could play a specific role, that had a specific type of skill set.

1:28.3	and then Chase Claypool in 2019. That's 6-4, long-armed, long-legged vertical type of football
1:36.8	player that could win contested throws, you know, could impact the football game in that way,
1:42.2	could move around a little bit, but he's primarily an
1:44.5	outside guy and in Notre Dame's offense, that boundary guy. I mean, he's not Brian Thomas,
1:49.5	right? I'm not saying he's Brian Thomas. But I'm simply making a point when you look at
1:53.8	Mike Denbrock's offense at LSU. He had a boundary guy that they could threaten teams with
1:59.1	and Brian Thomas could run not only the
2:01.6	comebacks and the stops like Bo Collins can do but was a genuine stretch to field type of guy.
2:06.1	Now again, Malachi Fields was not Brian Thomas.
2:08.2	If he was Brian Thomas, he'd be going pro and be at first round draft pick.
