00:00Yeah, I think early on the coaches were immediately texting me as soon as I

00:04entered the portal or as soon as that that day opened up for the transfer

00:08portal. They're the first ones that texted me, communicated to me. Almost all

00:12the offensive coaches texted me early on and not only that, I think like a day

00:16later I got hopped on a zoom call with them all and they kind of laid out

00:19everything for me, showed me my fit in their offense, you know, our offensive

00:22depth, depth on the team in general, not just offense. You know, they really

00:26prided on their defense and, you know, house a bunch of young guys last year and

00:30all those guys are coming back this year. And I think that, you know, with the depth

00:36that we have and the coaches we have in the scheme, the offensive scheme that fits

00:40me so well, I thought it was a perfect fit for me. Yeah, he did have us take a

00:44personality test. I took mine on my official visit like one morning, one

00:48random morning. And I don't know if he used that as like a weeding out tool for

00:54the transfer portal. But obviously there's something about it he liked. So yeah, I

00:59mean, I do like it for coaching. You know, he wants to see what personalities fit

01:04him and his coaching style. And you know, if that fits not good, then, you know,

01:08don't grab that guy out of the portal. So I completely understand him doing that.
