I have a question for Josh, Carey, or anyone else. Do you feel that these interviews with recruits biases their decision in any way? I know you absolutely do not attempt to sway their opinion and you maintain journalistic integrity, but I'm curious if you feel after interviewing some of these kids, they have changed their opinion about OU (or any other program). Just by way of asking them questions about "what do you like about xyz school," or "what is it about xyz coach you love" does that lead them to conclusions? It seems like that could be a natural side effect of sorts.
Again, I'm in no way saying you are guilty of this intentionally, but being in your respective field for many years, do you see kids change their opinions at all just by asking them questions about their opinions?
