| 0:00.0 | Part two of the show today, Sean. |
| 0:27.2 | There's been some things that have come out here during the show that I want to lead to another conversation that I just saw. |
| 0:33.5 | About an hour ago, Jalen Sneed put out a post on this Instagram page that said, |
| 0:39.3 | Leave No Doubt, last ride, had a bunch of Notre Dame highlights. So obviously, J obviously Jaylen Cetus announced his decision to return to Notre Dame in 2026 I was not |
| 0:43.1 | expecting this going into the offseason you know and and Sean I think this is |
| 0:50.0 | evidence like you know we're there's a lot of freaking out about all the players that |
| 0:53.2 | have left Notre Dame in in this off. And I think the number is 18. And then transfer portal guys. And then |
| 1:00.6 | you obviously had four guys, GoPro, which three of them we expected to be gone. |
| 1:06.4 | Josh Burnham was obviously not expected. Everybody else was basically a rotation guy or a backup that wasn't even set to play.

| 1:39.7 | As a matter of fact, not a single player jumped in the portal for money and money only. |
| 1:45.0 | Josh Burnham, I think, was probably not happy with the portal off with the money he |

| 1:53.3 | I think if it was just about money, Josh Burnham stays. |
| 1:55.6 | There were other reasons that I think Josh left and felt that was what's best for him. |
| 1:59.2 | This is another offseason where when you watch people losing starters, |
| 2:04.7 | how many Notre Dame, I mean, Jalen Sneed and Drake Bowen are the only two guys that |
| 2:08.2 | have even said, I'm coming back. |
| 2:09.6 | Everybody else has just kind of been assumed so far. |
| 2:12.7 | Now, I do think there's going to be some additional players jumping in the portal, |
