0:00
And I remember when I was at Elite 11,
0:01
the pressure and magnitude of like every
0:03
ball I threw was getting analyzed. And
0:06
you know, ball could slip out of my hand
0:08
and someone was writing an article or
0:09
someone was saying that I wasn't good
0:11
enough or I shouldn't have been a
0:12
whatever four or five star and and you
0:15
know, I was lucky to have a support
0:16
system in my dad who was my coach and my
0:19
mom and and and they were big on just
0:21
get better. Just get better. You know,
0:23
pick the school that's right for you and
0:25
and I couldn't made a better decision,
0:26
but you look at nowadays and I'm still
0:28
like watching these quarterbacks and and
0:30
they're going through the recruiting
0:33
I mean guys, they're committing as a
0:35
I I didn't I didn't commit till like
0:37
spring of my junior year and I thought
0:38
that was a little early. And I think cuz
0:41
cuz now you have to kind of get your
0:42
place in line. And now what's different
0:44
that I would have a hard time with is,
0:46
you know, I I thought Butch Davis was
0:48
the most honest coach that I sat down
0:50
with. And he told me, he said, "Hey,
0:52
we're recruiting you. We're not going to
0:53
go get a junior college kid." Cuz at the
0:55
time junior college was essentially the
0:56
transfer portal. And I remember
1:00
trusting him and believing him, not
1:02
saying that I was scared of competition,
1:03
but they could have gotten three three
1:06
other guys, high school kids.
