Interesting. I'd read that as either A&M or us, but it sounds like he's still legitimately undecided.

Percentage Wheel

70% A&M
30% SMU

SMU will be fine either way.

Potential Freudian slip smu "they will be good this year and the year I get on campus". Fingers crossed. I think the thoughts expressed in the blog make it seem like it is Illinois smu or a&m. I also think that it sounds a bit like he might like being the headliner if the class as opposed to 1 of 4. Being an smu fan I will not allow myself to think we are going to get this kid but it feel like it's closer than I was thinking this morning.

He has repeatedly said he wants to win now...judging from his post, SMU looks strong. It could really be anyone though.

He said on twitter he is telling his teammates today, so he has decided. I give A&M the edge but we are definitely #2.

He said A&M would be a good look. That doesn't sound too much like an A&M lean though. Of course I am biased, but that did sound like a Freudian slip.

I don't see anywhere on twitter where he is telling his teammates today. Can you copy and paste it?

This would be a great get. But honestly he seems so torn do we think he will stick with his commitment?

I feel like his comments lean SMU... A&M would be the #2. But like he said, its still up in the air.

I actually agree but I am worried I am biased and displaying wishful thinking.
