Rob HammerschmidtHOST
Yeah, you know, it's funny as I look around the league just to see what different teams are doing to promote the pathways and development.
Rob HammerschmidtHOST
And of course, what hits home close to me, obviously, are the Chicago Hounds.
Rob HammerschmidtHOST
And there are two big things that they've done, big efforts that have contributed to this developmental pathway.
Rob HammerschmidtHOST
One is at the senior level, they had a senior combine.
Rob HammerschmidtHOST
Nobody can say that they don't get an opportunity to shoot their shot to become a pro.
Rob HammerschmidtHOST
That shot is there.
Rob HammerschmidtHOST
But speaking of great shots, the Chicago Hounds also announced a recruiting showcase.
Rob HammerschmidtHOST
It's powered by Illinois Bone and Joint Institute, one of their biggest and most significant sponsors over the past four years.
James DeeleySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Um, a lot of people are saying they're probably rubbish, but I'm pretty sure they're ...
James DeeleySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
We- they've confirmed that the Chicago Hounds have talked to URC at least, and I think it was the Hounds and the Free Jacks have both at least talked to URC.
James DeeleySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I honestly think that this was probably teams eyeing up a way of continuing should MLR have folded.
James DeeleySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
USA team in the URC I think would have to be a dif- a, like, a new franchise, honestly.

Chicago Hound, member of the Chicago Hounds, Tim Sweel, played against British Lions.
Rob HammerschmidtHOST
So he really liked that piece because it meant something to him.
Rob HammerschmidtHOST
All right, what's this last piece, Steve?

All right, let's move on to our MLR 2026 champions.
Rob HammerschmidtHOST
Yes, we're talking about the Chicago Hounds.
Rob HammerschmidtHOST
So since James Dealey is wearing the right attire for the day in this particular case, I'm going to give him first offerings as we look at this draft for Chicago Hounds.
Rob HammerschmidtHOST
I had McKay White and Leslie.
Rob HammerschmidtHOST
What do you got on these three picks?
James DealeyGUEST
He can play hooker or flanker.
James DealeyGUEST
You'd think that after last year, most of the hounds are going to be back.
James DealeyGUEST
I think McGee, I think the Hounds leadership would be crazy not to bring this team back because they were undefeated.
