Welcome to the Audible presented by Trader Joe's.

I'm Stuart Mandel, joined, as always, by Bruce Feldman in a little bit.

Bruce is going to join me about halfway through the episode.

He's actually in Tuscaloosa right now, visiting Alabama practice, so waiting for him to come up for some air.

But Sam Kahn, our colleague, our techsper, he's been part of two really big projects this summer.

Our QB tiers on every college football quarterback or projected starting quarterback

and our top 100 transfers.

Sam, you were part of two pretty exhaustive projects this summer that I assume involved a lot of phone calls and a lot of reporting.
