I worked in D.C. most of my career, and I can tell you (plural) that Murphy and staff can keep better secrets than official Washington (which can't keep a secret - the bin Laden capture was an exception).
What I think is MOST perplexing, even to Dennis, is that the unofficial visitors who show up for those Saturday home games are h.s. JUNIORs which means there is NO correlation to seeing a h.s. visit in February and who signs in April (those would be h.s. seniors, JUCOs, transfers, etc.).
Kids may be taking official visits yet no one outside the Convo has a clue as to who they may be.
BOTTOM LINE: We do NOT know (or if someone knows, pls. tell us) if Murphy wants to sign 2 or 1 or no one this April.
My "Countdown" thread was an effort to 'frame' recruiting in terms of what Murphy might want to do this April, next year, etc.
E.g., if he pursues Mike Talley then he does not pursue Felder (Pershing) or Wes Clark (Romulus).
Those are the kind of decisions he is having to make.
