Recruiting New Rivals national analyst roles

There's been some news in the last couple of weeks on the Rivals national analyst front that I wanted to bring to your attention.

Sam Spiegelman has returned to Rivals after a stint with On3. He's our national recruiting analyst with a focus in the Southeast. His state responsibilities include Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, South Carolina and North Carolina. That will allow fellow national recruiting analyst John Garcia Jr. to focus solely on Florida.

Adam Friedman, who's been our national recruiting analyst focused on the East Coast, has now become a transfer portal analyst. He'll continue to our rankings director with a hand in both high school and transfer portal rankings. North Carolina was one of the states Friedman oversaw, so Spiegelman will have that covered.

If you haven't been keeping track, these are our other national recruiting analysts and their primary coverage areas ...

Greg Smith - Midwest
Marshall Levenson - Mid-South
Adam Gorney - West

***Submit questions for Thursday's podcast***

I plan to record our next Inside ND Sports podcast on Thursday. I'll have a guest for the first half and then will handle questions solo as @Eric Hansen enjoys some vacation.

Send me some questions you'd like me to discuss. And as a bonus, if you have good quarterback training questions, I may ask them to our guest.

We like to give priority to questions submitted on The Insider Lounge. If you have multiple questions, try to be succinct and ask them separately. Thanks!
