I'm probably reading way too much into it, but can you give us another clue? Both my employer and I would be appreciative so I can get back to being productive at work.
Nothing to do with NC or Nick….that was just to set the tone. Sorry I probably should have posted the second meme first. I’ll give you the first part. AJ….second below.

I kinda like the way we got Altmeyer, another one that way would be OK with me.
Robert talks every so often about how lazy most ranking services have become, even over just the last 10 years. They basically have a range of rankings they give out based on what school a kid commits to and adjust it to fit that. Say a kid is an 82 but commits to Illinois, then he'll be adjusted somewhere between 86-88, but if he commits to PSU then he'll fit between 92-94 (just pulling those number out of the air, but you get the point). It's all about clicks, and the schools with the most intense football fanbases need to have their egos stroked into thinking they've gotten a good player so they click on the article and subscribe to the premium services.
That kind of is the way we got Altmyer, but instead the more elite echelon of recruiting, instead of a former 4
recruit, we would presumably be able to get a former 5.
