Post-visit Q and A and if you follow Jakai's mother on Twitter, she's as enthusiastic about their visit as was Noah Clowney's mother.

Great work @Mike Schumann, I always appreciate your ability to quickly establish rapport with these young men. Fascinating to hear how our 'peer group' for recruits has evolved over the past 6 months with CMW and staff coming on board, consistently hearing Alabama, Va Tech, Georgia, Georgia Tech, etc. is a swift departure from the days of Miller's 'inside out' approach.

Interesting that he singled out Johnson. From what I’ve seen of him, if he views himself as a PG and they’re looking at him as one, he would very much be a Johnson-style attacking downhill player. Just not sure he’s that good a natural facilitator. But, God, he is so explosive. Nobody stays in front of him.

Alex Bozich with a Q and A.  One thing I caught in this one is Newton commenting that he's younger than most people in his class.

Seems to be a Rosemond thing. Clowney, Carr, Newton, all young for their class.
