From The Pink Seats: Episodes 96, 97 - Interview w/ Yasir & Xavier Abdullah; Spring Ball/Recruiting Update

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - We've got another jam-packed "From The Pink Seats" doubleheader in store.

Louisville Report deputy editor Matt McGavic, State of Louisville co-founders Jacob Lane & Presley Meyer and former UofL fullback/student assistant coach Vincent Lococo are back with a double dose of Louisville football podcast content.

First comes an interview with former Louisville linebacker Yasir Abdullah and his father Xavier. The guys talk about Yasir's upbringing, Mom and Dad's role in sharing football, the impact of his faith on the way he plays the game and carries himself, a growing bond between two brothers and an offseason that changed it all, how NIL was used for good, who to watch out for in 2023 and beyond, plus a deep dive into NFL Draft prep and what you can expect.

The guys then shift gears to talk about spring football and 2024 recruiting, with former Louisville recruiting analyst Grant Mulligan joining the discussion. They dive into the happenings around spring football, including what coaches have had to say and what the energy has said, if the team is on pace from a development standpoint, and standout players. Then, Mulligan provides his personal Big Board for the class of 2024 players and recruitments you need to know.
