| 0:00.0 | To be honest, work had been a slog. |
| 0:21.3 | I'm a designer, but some nights I was chasing invoices like my full-time job. Now SageCropilot chases my invoices for me. I just need to click a button and it's done. And I get paid one week faster. Sage Co-Pilot is built with over 40 years of experience, helping real businesses like Sophia at Solver Design. That's more than artificial intelligence. |
| 0:23.1 | That's authentic intelligence. |
| 0:25.2 | Search Sage Co-Pilot to learn more. |
| 0:29.1 | Working with 21 customers, each round payments came in seven days faster with Sage Co-Pilot. |
| 0:29.9 | Teas and C's Apply. I know. |
| 0:37.1 | I'm a new. Welcome to Stars Matter, the recruiting podcast from the athletic. |
| 0:48.6 | I'm Mitch Light. He's Ari Wasserman. |
| 0:51.2 | Ari, good afternoon. You want to talk recruiting? |
| 0:53.7 | Yeah, let's talk recruiting, Mitch. How are you? |
| 0:55.7 | I'm good. I'm good. I want to start. We had two quarterbacks come off the board last night. |
| 1:01.8 | One of them, we'll go back in a few minutes and talk about William Watson III from your favorite state of Massachusetts who committed to Nebraska. |
| 1:10.8 | But I think we have to start the show with Braden Dorman, a four-star from Colorado, |
| 1:18.9 | who committed to your University of Arizona Wildcats. |
| 1:23.2 | Just a great start. |
| 1:24.5 | I know it's the second commit, but a great start for the second full cycle for Jed Fish and that staff after just a breakthrough class last year. |
| 1:34.6 | And if you're an Arizona fan, are like, are you almost mad, even madder about Kevin Sumlin now that Jed Fish is throwing what can be done there? |
| 1:45.3 | This is ridiculous. |
| 1:46.5 | You know, it's interesting because I do have some friends who root for Arizona sports |
| 1:52.6 | because obviously we went there. |
| 1:53.9 | And there's just a sense of apathy when it comes to the football program. |
| 1:59.9 | It's kind of just like they suck and we accept that. You know what I mean? Even though they won a division title within the last six or seven years. Yeah, yeah. It's just I think that there's a sense of it's hopeless that will ever be really, really good. And I've always pushed back on that. And, you know, when Kevin Sumlin was the coach, it just kind of felt like it's hopeless, but for people who don't really pay attention to the minutia of the sport, it wasn't because it was impossible was because he wasn't trying very hard. And, you know, I see Jed Fish signed the top, the first top 25 class in program history. And I think, A, that's a tremendous job because nobody expected that for his first full cycle. |
