00:00Both cleared to open fall camps and participate or
00:02are they still a little bit of ways off in that regard?
00:04I think they'll be limited, different ways limited, but they'll both be,
00:09I do have high expectations that, let's call it our mock game on August 17th,
00:14which I hope we can get 25,000 people out at.
00:19They'll be able to see both Landon and Guard with that starting offensive line.
00:26And you touched on something that you can't specifically talk about,
00:29but just your general impressions of the recruits reactions that you've gotten
00:32since your move to Washington.
00:34How do you feel that you're building your long term future in Washington?
00:39Yeah, I think, I mean, we're right now sitting there, I think, ranked 17th
00:46in 247.
00:48I don't think we've ever been higher than 15th.
00:51So that puts us in a good spot.
00:53I believe we'll probably have a good end of July.
00:56I believe we'll have a good August.
00:59I believe we'll have some more players commit throughout the fall.
01:03I think we'll end up looking at a recruiting class that hopefully will
01:07remain in the top 20 to top 15.
01:10And if you can accomplish that, then we're in a great spot.
01:13I mean, if you look at the teams that win, they all have top recruiting classes.
01:19It's very rare that you could just not recruit well and win championships.
01:24That doesn't really happen.
01:26So I know that there hasn't been a national champion last 20 years
01:30that hasn't had a top five recruiting class a year before.
01:33One last one from me.
01:34Any players definitely out for fall ball.
