0:38.4

Buck Nuts Morning 5 in Change, joined by the lovely and talented Steve Wolffong, director

0:44.2

of Recruiting for 24-7 Sports. Yes, this is our normal gig, but again, Dave Bittles off this week,

0:57.0

in here today. He is at the top of his game. It is fastest, furious these days as we prepare for the
