It’s a Dear Andy & Ari episode and before we get to your incredible questions, Andy was able to hear from Kalen DeBoer at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama, and he had some interesting thoughts on roster building in this age of college football? Should teams assemble its roster based on talent alone or should age be incorporated in the mix? As Indiana was the oldest team in the College Football Playoff this past year, is the route of attaining older players the best? Andy & Ari dive deep into roster building here. (0:00) On Today’s Episode(1:32) Presenting Sponsor(4:05) Intro: Does Age Matter in roster building?(15:00) Striking a balance in roster building(25:00) Impersonations(26:52) Dell(28:05) Dear Andy & Ari: Is College Football like the NFL in 2011?(45:37) Tampering Suspensions(58:05) Level of Competition in QB play(1:04:15) Wrapping up: Denzel Washington impersonation To begin Dear Andy & Ari, a listener asks about the overall state of college football and if it is anything like the 2011 NFL season when Sam Bradford and Cam Newton had some wild deals as a rookie.

Who is the only head coach to be suspended for tampering? The answer may shock you. To close out the mailbag segment, Andy & Ari are asked about QB talent evaluation in high school. How much of a factor is the level of competition for these gunslingers?

On Tuesday morning, news broke from both Duke and Darian Mensah's camp that the two have settled, which means Mensah is allowed to enter the transfer portal.
