OH lol. Is that what "Pot of Gold" means? We are sending him a pot of 270 letters at once, or something like that? Weird.

I feel conflicted. I hated to see a recent recruit's picture (can't remember who) of their hundreds of Ohio State recruiting letters. It seemed like too much.

Now that ND is doing it, I hope it works. But I still don't like it.

Ha, I totally agree. It's a silly gimmick that I sort of hate ... unless it works ... in which case I love it.

Yeah, it's like when you go out with a hot chick a couple of times and realize she isn't the one, then she keeps calling or texting. Oh wait a minute, that was me calling the hot chick after she stopped answering her phone, Damn caller ID!

Maybe I missed it. Did JR do that with anyone that before they committed?

I don't think he's talking about committing, he's waiting for his 270th piece of mail to come in....

Perhaps Sandlin's mother works for the Postal Service and he's doing his best to try and keep them afloat? Because sending 270 pieces of mail to a kid just seems silly.
But, then, I'm not a high school kid being courted for my talents by some of the biggest names in football, so what do I know. Maybe they go for that sort of thing.

Elam seemed pretty pleased/astounded when UK sent him over 100 mail items in the same day earlier this year. Sounds like we're trying to one up them now.

That's even lamer. We're trying to one-up a perennial doormat in the "mailing crap to a kid" game.
Just send him a DVD of Louis Nix game film. With a post-it that says "You're next."

Not for nothing, but if 270 pieces of snail mail is enough to get this kid to pop then what happens when Bammer send 271?

What if he just takes a picture of the mail? What if that's the surprise?

Keep it in your pants, gents.
