Summary

Heavy hitters. High-paid talent. Elite performers.

Do those things interest you?

You've arrived at the correct place: 247Sports Director of Basketball Scouting Adam Finkelstein and 247Sports Director of Football Recruiting Steve Wiltfong are both here.

In one show.

Is it a ton of star power? Sure, but 'Nutters can handle the glare.

First, we talked to Adam in depth about Bronny James, Taison Chatman possibly committing this evening and also about Adam's recent move from ESPN to 247Sports.

Then it's The Fong with the latest info on Keon Keeley's impending visit for the Wisconsin game and what that means in his recruitment and that of fellow defensive ends Matayo Uiagalelei and Damon Wilson.

Spend 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

0:28.0	Good morning, Buck Nudders. It is Tuesday, September 20th. I am Dan Rubin. This is the
0:33.7	Buck Nuts Morning 5 and Change. You see a new face on there. That is the face of Adam
0:40.0	Finklstein, director of basketball scouting for 24-7 sports, and a sign, at least to me, that we
0:48.1	were getting serious about covering basketball recruiting. This was a major coup for us to get
0:52.8	Adam to come over. From the mothership, as it was, and ESPN, and has furthered our recruiting
0:59.8	on the basketball side in a major way, we're also going to have an update here at about 15 minutes
1:03.5	from Steve Wolfong, director of recruiting football side. So this was, I mean, we had to go
1:09.3	deep into the salary cap to get this show pulled off, but we'll have an update on Ki on Ki Lee.

1:49.3	You've come over here to be the boss. Tell us why. Well, you know, a lot of it had to do with
1:55.9	with the people I have an opportunity to work with. And I think that when the affiliation with CVS
2:03.3	was significant to me, and just the commitment, the commitment to covering recruiting in more
2:10.9	depth than any other platform in the country does. And then to be able to play a big role on that.
2:18.0	I mean, that was basically it for me. And then the other part was to be able to follow these
2:23.0	players up through the draft. So, you know, at ESPN, it was very like, you know, we've got the high
2:28.4	school guys, we've got the draft guys, and there's not a whole lot of overlap. And I think just
