Welcome to the Andy Staples show presented by Sling.

It is a Monday in December, and I think that's going to mean from now on that it's a portal authority day that Max Olson will be joining us because I don't know,

Max, does it seem like there's more action on Monday?

Like, you know, the portal opened on Monday last week.

Obviously, there was a lot of action that day.

But then kind of trailed off throughout the week.

And then boom, boom, tons of big names jumping in and jumping out this Monday.

Yeah, I talked to one recruiting staffer a couple weeks ago who kind of predicted.

They wondered if this Monday would be an active one because you've got coaches out on the road.

Maybe that leads to some more conversations and flirting with high school coaches about, hey, have you told this guy?

We would take him and stuff like that.

You kind of wondered would there be maybe a next round of this. It wasn't too crazy in terms of like quantity

today, but certainly when a guy like Grayson McCall goes in that gets everyone's attention.

Exactly. I mean, and there's two Coastal Carolina players in the portal right now that I would

imagine a lot of the country wants, and Grayson McCall and Josiah Stewart, the edge right now that I would imagine a lot of the country wants.

And Grayson McCall and Josiah Stewart, the edge rusher.

I think USC's after Josiah Stewart.

So it is, it is pretty amazing how this works.

Grayson McCall was a guy that people were coming after the last couple of years trying

to get him to transfer.

It feels like as long as Jamie Chadwell was

coastal, Grayson was at coastal. Now that Jamie Chadwell is at Liberty, Grayson's on the road.
