Taz isnt on the revized signee list. So he could be greyshirting or decided to not join the program since we signed Orth who's been here since the spring. He and Carson are the only ones missing off the original signee list. Added OL Dufour, LB's Norris and Banks, QB Orth, and Saf's Collier Weston and Moore. Maybe two transfers the UF WR and QB Favors from Bama St.

I enjoyed the interview. I also enjoyed not hearing any idiot callers, but I joined late. I might have missed some.

The one-on-one format was easier on the ears than three guys taking turns trying to get their yuks in.

The Turd and Tiger were not there. Made for a much better interview.
