00:00It's going to take a minute to get everything filled.
00:03There's a ton of people that are still playing, a ton of people in the playoffs, and you're working through all of that.
00:10Again, credit to our administration for giving us the resources to do that part the right way.
00:14And then right in the middle of all of that was signing day, and that process was fascinating.
00:20Getting here, getting on the phone with all of those kids while trying to do the priority, which is meet with our kids,
00:26the priority also being the signing class.
00:29And what we did was we tried to go after the very best players, tried to build as fast relationships as possible.
00:35It's helped with having some retention in terms of the on-the-field staff to be able to go finish that.
00:42There's a couple of guys that were committed to us at the previous place that we knew were big-time, big-time players
00:48that if this was to happen that we would want.
00:51And it just so happened to be that a couple of those guys are local.
00:54As we spent time in this state recruiting really heavily over the last couple of years,
00:58it worked out that those guys wanted to be a part of it.
01:02We felt like they could help us as we lay a foundation for the future of the program.
01:07So really excited about how that finished up.
01:09And now we're heading into this three-week period where we're continuing to build relationships with our guys,
01:17getting people in the building that are going to be a part of this staff permanently,
01:22and then head into January, full steam ahead, getting out on the road,
01:28attacking what's needed through the transfer portal.
01:31More importantly than anything else, getting these guys back on campus
01:35and starting to build what will be the foundation for the fall.
