What's up. Welcome back to Barton and Bud. I'm Barton Simmons along with Bud Elliott. It's Ranking's Day at 24-7 sports.

Go to the message boards if you just want to see people blasting me,

taking shots at my family and my upbringing at more morals.

It's all fair game on Rankings Day.

No, I haven't been that bad.

And it's going to be kind of a weird year from a

recruiting rankings perspective, hadn't had camps really all year. Not a lot of in-person

opportunities with the quarantine and the lockdown. So I feel good about the product, all things

considered.

But this was your first kind of full cycle here.

This is going to be our, what, we still have one more.

I don't know.

We can talk about that, I guess.

We could have multiple more updates with this, this crop.

But how has been your life on the rankings calls for you?

You know, it's really been an interesting experience.

I knew somehow it worked before I got here because, you know, you and I had talked, but just I don't know if people on the outside really realize just how much film everybody's watching,

you know, just how much info they're trying to dig up.

We really care about accurate height and weight.

We care about having measurables and verified times.

We care about understanding why we missed on guys in the past and then trying to apply those lessons to our current evaluation process to not prevent misses, we're going to have misses,

but to minimize the chance of misses to get better each and every year.
