All right, Brian, we're talking sophomore class, and we're going to get a little bit more granular with this conversation.

0:24.9

And where we're going to begin is on the offensive side of the ball.

0:29.6

Now, we talked about it in the first part of the show of this segment, about how the 2024 recruiting class is.

0:38.8

And when you look at it on paper, to me, I don't know what your thoughts are on this.

0:41.7

But the sophomore class, I think, is naturally just going to carry a little bit more weight on

0:46.2

offense this year as opposed to defense.

0:48.6

All will have important roles.

0:51.4

Offense and defense will be impacted by the 2024 class differently,

And it really starts with, like you said, the important positions, you talk about left tackle, you talk about quarterback, and we're going to kind of dive into each one.
