00:00You can't specifically talk about it, but just your general impressions of the
00:03recruits' reactions that you've gotten since your move to Washington.
00:06How do you feel that you're building your long-term future in Washington?
00:11Yeah, I think, I mean, we're right now sitting there,
00:16I think, ranked 17th in 247.
00:20I don't think we've ever been higher than 15th, so that puts us in a good spot.
00:26I believe we'll probably have a good end of July.
00:29I believe we'll have a good August.
00:32I believe we'll have some more players commit throughout the fall.
00:36I think we'll end up looking at a recruiting class that hopefully will
00:40remain in the top 20 to top 15.
00:43And if you can accomplish that, then we're in a great spot.
00:46I mean, if you look at the teams that win, they all have top recruiting classes.
00:52It's very rare that you can just not recruit well and win championships.
00:57That doesn't really happen.
01:00I know that there hasn't been a national champion in the last 20 years
01:03that hasn't had a top five recruiting class a year before.
01:06One last one from me.
01:07Any players definitely out for fall ball?
01:11No, not that I know of.
01:12I think every player that I can think of right now, but
01:17we'll have our local media day that you guys can ask any of those other questions
01:21that I might have in front of me, but
01:22right now I can't think of anybody that's definitely out for the fall.
01:26Jonah Coleman a comedian?
01:28No, is he funny?
01:30He said he's funny.
01:30He thinks he's funny.
01:31Jonah thinks he's funny?
01:32I don't know if Jonah's funny.
01:34His words not mine.
01:35I don't know if I've ever thought Jonah's funny.
01:38Yeah, he's kind of funny-ish.
01:42Amber being an honorary Harlem Lone Trotter and
01:44the fun that you had with the dunk contest.
01:47Were you concerned at all that Lance might get-
01:50Amber was an honorary judge.
01:51She was an honorary judge of the slam dunk competition.
01:56I think she followed Coach Bland's lead.
02:00She liked it.
02:01Tony Bland did a fantastic job of leading the way there, but
02:06we had a strong group of judges with a lot of experience in slam dunk competitions.
02:13All right, guys.
