Yeah, but your timing and delivery were excellent.
Although the article attached is closed to private members, my understanding is that Brown is getting new interest from UNC, Kentucky as well as others. He also likes Nevada a lot and like Mike said, that one could be a sleeper school for him. I'm not as hopeful now.

Louisiana in the AAC, Jordan Brown is a Cajun already.
I agree AAC is much better National exposure but we would have got our faces crushed in if we played in the AAC this yearQuote:

I should remind you that recruiting websites are about as reliable as the National Enquirer. From what I hear the coaching staff feels like we are still very much in the mix. Are they being overly optimistic? Who the hell knows?
I don't have the energy for you today.Quote:

What if he said you were wrong. Could you summon the energy then? For the record I agree with you on this topic. The SBC is not the proper stage for a 5 star athlete. Hell, the SBC refs would probably screw the kid up by calling a foul on him every couple of minutes.Quote:

Elfrid was a unique case. We can't just look at Elfrid and say "proof".Quote:

Elfrid wasn't a possible big money guy, specific to endorsements, agents, etc.
A McDonald's All American comes with clout, and hangers-on. Totally different situations.
Listen, I really don't want to slap you around today either.Quote:

Mike I watched TooLame often this year. We absolutely would have beaten more times than not. TooLame didn't get crushed. We’d have made the NCAA in the AAC.Quote:

Btw, AAC had several teams in the top 100 RPI. Do we need Charlie to repeat our record against top 100 in the last 8 years? Did we beat a single top 100 team last year? I think one.
