Here's what I know on Mark Matthews...

I'm talking in this recruitment.
I dont care about conference power bs cause we would get into the playoffs from the sunbelt...case in point this year.

I believe he mentioned wanting to play in the SEC. Their aren't many selling points to negative recruit against us left. The ACC and attendance are 2 that aren't ever going away. I still believe playing LT is a big part of this. My personal opinion.
I don't know this, but I wouldn't be surprised if we paid him to push that commitment date back and take a visit. That is just part of the new recruiting landscape, but that is why I am not taking a victory lap any time soon.

If they have to use the conference pitch of SEC that’s not the flex they think it is. All we got to say is we bodied that “best” conference.

That’s all these teams that recruit against us have left. That’s it, and you don’t have to play in those conferences to dominate. It’s been untrue for ages, Bain could have went to Toledo and still would be a first rounder.

They (aTm) don’t need to use the conference pitch here. Matthews already believes it. If anything, Miami and Mario have to counteract that belief, but the belief comes from Matthews, not an aTm sales pitch.

So to summarize:

You believe he mentioned he wanted the SEC
You believe he wants to play LT

You don't know but wouldn't be surprised if we paid him to move his date and take a visit

Unless you know the guy or someone really close to him, you're kinda short on facts.

2/3 of guys drafted in the latest NFL draft didn't play in the SEC last year
