Welcome to the Seahawkers podcast.

I am Adam Emmert.

I am joined today by my good buddy Phil Leidick.

Phil, we're doing an annual tradition that you came up with a couple years ago,

an exercise that I think is really fun.

We're talking about that sophomore year jump or slump.

And I think last year we even added a stumped.

So if we don't know exactly where we want to go with some of these guys, we've got an option.

So welcome, Phil.

How you doing, man?

It's been a minute since we've seen you on the network here because it's been a busy summer for you.

How fired up are you for this season coming up here just a couple weeks?

I'm getting more and more excited. The season's, the real season's getting ready.

The third game, waste of time, a third preseason game waste of time is past us. So now we have nothing

to look forward to but actual things that we can enjoy watching, discovering what this team in.

Actually, it's our coach's sophomore year. We didn't include him on the list, but it's his

sophomore year as well. So maybe he can jump and hopefully not slump. And I think we've had stump all along.

Last year we didn't use it quite as much.

Maybe we did.

You went back and listened to it to hear how we did, which I'm curious, Adam, because

we've been doing this, how good are we at guessing whether the sophomores will slump or jump?

We're a little better at predicting the guys that are near the top of their draft
