Speak for yourself, sir.

In actual recruiting news, some thoughts out there:
-The staff is Jeckyl & Hyde on Hyphen. I guess we still can't rule him out. I don't even know if this level of ambivalence is meaningful, given the performance of the defensive staff this fall. I know friends that follow things closely who don't think he's anything special either way.
-ATM is trying to throw a big, fatass bag at Matthews. It's not clear whether that's going to get it done anyway, but he's yet another guy that intuitively figured out that he didn't want to be anywhere near College Station who is now reconsidering for only one reason. I'm curious to see how that works out for Evan Stewart, Harris, multiple OOS guys, and, should Matthews suddenly decide that ATM is his school of choice, him as well.
Guys like Richardson and Leal hadn't been to ATM a bunch when they magically decided to shut everything down. A lot of these other guys had been and said "uhh, no" and then had their minds changed.
-I don't know about anyone else, but there's basically no buzz on anyone new appearing ahead of NSD2. I kind of expected some of that.
-Early thoughts on Choice and Marion on the recruiting front are that Choice is a legitimate volume recruiter capable of working on multiple big time talents at the same time, even for the same slot, which is tough to do, and that Marion is just going to load up a chopper full of LOIs with return envelopes attached and take whichever of the first 3-4 come in each year and call it a day.
I'll add some thoughts on the transfer side over there.
