0:07.0	The Good morning Bucknotters.
0:28.3	Welcome to the Bucknuts Morning 5 here on Thursday, November 13th, 2025.
0:33.2	I am Dave Biddle, very happy, joined by Garrick Hodge and the Grand Puba, Mark Porter.
0:38.2	And yes, we've got to find a nickname for Garrick.
0:39.8	We will. These things have to happen naturally. Can't force it. We'll get one. He's still relatively new. He's crushing it. All right, we're going to talk recruiting on today's show, of course. Don't worry, guys. Dan Rubin will be back next week. You're not stuck with me for two straight weeks.
0:54.5	First things first, I wasn't a big fan when I heard that the UCLA game was going to be a night guys, Dan Rubin will be back next week. You're not stuck with me for two straight weeks.

1:32.6	loves when they get a night game because it makes their lives and their visitor lists a lot
1:37.3	bigger, right? In terms of how big this specific recruiting weekend is, I would say it's kind of in
1:42.7	the middle. It's definitely not a nothing
1:44.5	weekend, but I wouldn't put it on the same level as the Texas game or even the Penn State game.
1:51.4	I think those had a lot more quantity for sure, and then the quality is subjective, depending on
1:58.1	how you like each particular prospects. But there are some potential ramifications that could come up,
