00:00 You were just at OT7 in Tampa and you observed a handful of Miami Hurricanes targets at that event, Brian.
00:07 Why don't we start with Jamie French.
00:09 How did he play and what's the latest in his recruitment?
00:12 Because I did hear he said that he no longer wants people to consider necessarily having a leader for him or a top three.
00:20 He definitely wants to make it at least seem like things are more open for his recruitment.
00:25 I've known Jamie since he was in eighth grade and we have a pretty candid relationship.
00:30 I asked him, I just walked up to him and he didn't see me from behind and I said,
00:34 "Can I just go ahead and say you're committing to Texas?"
00:36 And he looked up and he started laughing and he said,
00:38 "The official visits are going to tell the tale."
00:40 And he went into some detail.
00:42 His Ohio State visit did not go as planned.
00:46 I'll leave it at that.
00:47 They have tailed off.
00:48 Yeah, I was told they screwed up really bad.
00:51 I don't know.
00:53 I wasn't given details and there were a bunch of people around so I didn't ask.
00:55 That's Ohio State you're talking about?
00:57 Yeah, so they do a tremendous job with recruiting.
01:00 So I don't know what that means.
01:02 I didn't ask.
01:02 Especially receivers.
01:04 I know.
01:04 So he said that they were trying to patch it up with his mom, this, that, and the other,
01:08 and I just left it.
01:10 Texas is the team that is allegedly trending with him and that's why I was joking with him about it.
01:16 But I was told it's not going to be Texas either.
01:18 And it's because they're going to get another kid at receiver.
01:21 I'm sure NIL plays into this, but Florida State is not as prominent with him.
01:25 Miami was like the first school he kind of mentioned in general.
01:28 A bunch of LSU and Tennessee.
01:30 There's a bunch of schools that are still possible, but he's nowhere near ready to make
01:35 a decision.
01:35 I'm confident with that and that's based on a face-to-face conversation.
01:38 As for how he played, dominant.
01:42 He YouTubed a few kids and I don't know why guys try to play bump coverage and they don't
01:51 put hands on.
01:52 So you'll get hands on Jamie.
01:53 It's a touchdown.
01:54 And I watched that from up close a couple of times.
01:56 So still has the same speed, still has the same moves, and he backs up the talk.
