The great charm of recruiting as subject matter is that we don't know. We don't know what is going to happen.

If he (Schilling) goes to Washington that will be a giant positive for them in many different ways.

It's irresistible. You look at Matt Simms and imagine hundreds of conversations he's had with his father and brother about what to do under pressure.

It's like going to the courthouse and picking out 50 marriage certificates and spreading them out and saying who is going to be married 40 years from now. There are so many factors that come into play. How is a player going to mature? Is he going to have a drug problem in a couple of years?
