Summary
Mitch and Ari discuss if there's an emerging trend of college coaches jumping to the NFL. Is this merely anecdotal or is there data to back this up? Then the pair examine which programs had the biggest jumps or drops in recruiting ranking from 2022 to 2023. Mitch and Ari field mailbag questions, including a submission about if recruiting is beginning to adopt on a 'Moneyball'-esque ideology. And, of course, we can't forget trivia.
