Welcome to Stars Matter, a recruiting podcast from the athletic. I'm Mitch Light, joined by Ari

Wasserman. And this week, Ari, we have our first two-time guest to Stars Matter. Andy Staples, and I can tell by that reaction right there, Andy, you did not know that we're the first two-time guest. Are you honored? I am honored. Wow, a repeat guest. Well, his name is on the feed. Well, the money in Vegas had Max Olson probably. If you're doing a recruiting podcast and you're looking at athletic employees, Max

also would probably be the favorite to be the first two-time guest.

He is the portal authority.

Yes, but Andy, it's you.

Now, I did make Max do a podcast with me on Tuesday night after Bob Bowlesby resigned.

So Max is probably, you is probably about podcasted out.

So that's why he didn't respond to me when I was editing that story last night.

So there you go.

All right, today we'll look at some notable commitments from the class of 2023,

including a recent five-star.

Plus, we're going to look at what positions are coming off the board the quickest in the

2023 class it's sort of a trivia question it's not the official trivia question so are you

keep that in mind we've got one more final star from the class of 2022 who's about to commit

we'll talk about david ubbins story uh that published today a nightmare in home visits a

i hope you did your homework and read that story if not you'll have to fake it, which you probably did in school a lot, pretending to rethink it. I did, and I got a 3.0. Okay, well, we'll dip into the mail. We'll see what great you get for this. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's pretty good for zero effort. Yeah. I suppose.

And we'll dip into the mailbag and we will have the official trivia question.

But I guess there's two notable things that happened in recruiting.

One, for the 2022 class, Leibius Overton, a defensive tackle from Georgia who reclassified to 2022 committed to Texas A&M, adding to already a

record-breaking class. And then on Friday night, Josh Connerly Jr., the last remaining

five-star from 2022 from the Seattle area is committing in by all accounts it's going to be

USC so Ari first of all it's not going to be Washington I'll tell you not going to be Washington
