In respect to your insightful, unbiased analysis of the situation with Graham Mertz and "Five Who Might Flip"...
This one is a bit of a stretch as Mertz has insisted that he has shut down his recruitment and will head to Wisconsin as originally planned. But that doesn’t mean schools have completely written him off. Several coaches from around the country view Mertz as one of the top quarterbacks in the class and in a year where there aren’t many quality signal-callers to go around, he will remain a target, even if he’s not answering the phone for other coaches at the moment. Programs like Texas A&M and Ohio State both covet Mertz, but both have also picked up quarterback commitments in the last few weeks, so chances are good that Mertz lands in Madison but we are keeping the door slightly cracked.
"WE are keeping the door slightly cracked?" Really? Who's we and who's door is it? The kid publicly shut down his recruitment... can't you stomach that, or is their some bias in your opinion? If Graham was committed to Notre Dame would we even see that "he still remains a target even though he's not answering the phone for other coaches"? Jesus, read what you write before publishing it.
"Willie, or Woody, or Whatever" sums up all that's wrong with Rivals in particular and sophomoric recruiting coverage in general. YOU, Woody, are the "bit of a stretch" in terms of journalism.
