Summary

Rapid Fire topics include: * Fill-in the blank...Sam Hartman getting drafted by the United Football League’s Birmingham Stallions is BLANK. * Marcus Freeman and a few players are in New York talking on various ESPN platforms. Here’s the list of players Freeman took with him: Jordan Clark, Riley Leonard, Beaux Collins, Howard Cross, Rylie Mills, Mitchell Evans, Xavier Watts, Benjamin Morrison, and Steve Angeli. We have thoughts on the list and which of those players might be named captains this season.  * ESPN says Leonard will be Notre Dame's X-factor this season. We take a look at their rationale and see if we agree with it.  * We hear some of Freeman's comments from his SportsCenter interview with Notre Dame alum Hannah Storm.  * We hear a heated discussion between ESPN personalities Chris "Mad Dog" Russo and Paul Finebaum. They debated whether or not Lincoln Riley has been successful in his first two years at USC.  * Fill-in the blank...Caitlin Clark setting the WNBA single game record with 19 assists and scoring or assisting on 66 total points, which is another new record, in the Fever’s loss to Dallas last night is BLANK.

Jesse, are you ready for rapid fire.

0:18.6

Let's do it.

0:19.8

That was a quick we in, we on. I can't believe we're already into rapid fire. Let's do it. That was a quick we and we out.

0:21.5

I can't believe we're already into rapid fire.

Sam Hartman getting drafted by the United Football League's Birmingham Stallions is blank.
