00:00 >> What was it about Will that attracted you guys?
00:04 >> I don't know if I can comment on that.
00:05 >> You can't comment on that.
00:06 >> He was officially announced on Wednesday.
00:10 >> Okay.
00:11 >> So I'm pretty sure you can.
00:12 >> It's different because he's- >> I think the board actually talked about
00:14 it. >> And it's on Lars anyway, so.
00:15 >> Okay.
00:16 >> [LAUGH] >> Yeah, Will's a super productive kid.
00:21 That's one of the things I liked about him, obviously.
00:23 I'm excited about the room that we have, the youth that we have in the room.
00:27 The super talented Austin Mack, Marmar, guys like that that are coming in.
00:32 But you look at the difference in experience in the room, and
00:37 that's where you have a significant drop off.
00:39 So a guy like Will, obviously, thrown for over 12,000 yards in the SEC.
00:44 Very capable passer, really, really bright kid, competitive spirit.
00:48 We're super excited about him.
00:50 So I think he brings a lot to the room and the team.
00:53 >> I think every transition to doing what you're doing, how difficult is that?
00:56 >> Yeah, I think it's really difficult.
00:58 I think it's really difficult.
00:59 And obviously, the recruiting piece ties into that.
01:02 You gotta sit with the kid, you gotta watch film with him.
01:04 You gotta see the level of intelligence he has.
01:08 And Will's a really bright kid.
01:10 When you sit down and watch film, he transitioned last year.
01:14 I thought that one of the segues that kind of helps a little bit is that last year,
01:18 he wasn't in an air raid system.
01:20 He was in a different system.
01:21 So he had to make some of the jumps into that.
01:24 And being able to watch those games with him, specifically,
01:27 I know we watched the South Carolina game together.
01:29 And just him talking through his calls, protection checks, all those,
01:32 he's a bright kid.
01:33 So I think that part bodes really well for us.
