I’m sure NIL doesn’t hurt but when they are this highly rated, the kid just has to want to go to school. O’Conner seemed to get quite a few of these types to Virginia; the question is, how much of it was O’Conner and how much of it was Virginia (good academic school)? Probably some of both.

The more of these types that we get committed, the better chance we have of getting one or more to campus.
