Well, I told you day one, sitting right here or wherever the heck we were, that I was

going to battle the best in the country and we may not always win.

We're going to win somewhere in a loose sum, but we're going to fight and we're going

to recruit at a high level and we're continuing to do that.

I told you, and I joke about this, NIL has been going on for a long time.

He says it ain't been above board.

So now it is, I think it does affect things because the guys, the other people, they don't

have the advantages they used to have.

Now you see stuff some work to do, but what does this class say about the continuous

growth of this program and the direction you're going?

And I think the people say it, they see where we're going, what we're doing, how we're

doing it, and we got to finish up and be able to finish some games and went on the road

when we need to and do those kind of things.

But I think when you get guys, they can make a difference and hopefully make those other

plays in what you need.

But I think they see the vision, which we have, they think they see the commitment, which

we have.

And I think they see the staff that can get them there and the things that go on in the

past recruiting classes.

I think, you know, like I say, you live in vision, you live in vision, you live in circumstance

and we're living in vision, we see it and I think it's right there when we just got

to finish it.
