And then...
I mean, I do think that Ryan Day had probably decided that he didn't think Tate Martell was good enough, which is why he was so enthusiastically the moment he became the head coach going to find Justin Fields.
I don't know who else there would have been to find.
You might have had... Like, Tate Martell was the only answer.
I mean, like, what were they going to... They would have had...
Who do they have?
Emery Jones and... Because they had a guy coming in who decommitted.
And then another guy, though.
Who was the recruit that decommitted then once they signed Fields and that flipped to somewhere else on signing day?
But Emery... Was it Dwan Mathis?
Dwan Mathis.
Like, Emery Jones and Dwan Mathis, I think, were the answers, the other answers, if they didn't want Tate Martell.
So...
it might've been that Tate Martell would have been their best option in the end for the first year of Ryan day.
And then like, it's like, Oh yeah, well, I tried to get that Justin Fields guy, but he just is the starter at Georgia.
And then here we go with the tape.
Like Tate Martell's career fell apart, but yeah,
could it have been decent at Ohio State?
And that like once he left and went to Miami, like was he not good enough to be a starting quarterback at a major college power?
Or did everything just get loose when you start going in the portal and you're going to Miami and you're going to UNLV and stuff happens and just got away from him?
