We are parsing words from a 19-20 year old?

I believe Brett is older than 19 or 20. Don't hold me to that though

Brett often uses the word "settled" to describe a commit's choice.  I have always assumed it is an intention jab at NT, since he is theoretically a professional writer that should understand the negative connotation. I think a recruit settling would be at the end of the process when other offers had dried up, not during active recruitment by other schools. Like, "Once Tom and Bill started talking to hotter girls, Brett's wife settled for marrying him."

But again, perhaps we are reading too much into Brett's word selection. Settled isn't incorrect, it just seems like a strange choice.

There is a wide chasm of meaning between "settled for"--having to take a less desirable option--and "settled on"--making a final and firm decision among many good options.

I am indeed glad that Colvin settled on UNT.
