I hold an opposite view. On the Real SL Board someone is quoting Andy Williams as saying Ellinger said he would be playing behind Kreis and Mathis. So they seem to think that Mathis will also be on their team. With Kreis in place and assuming Mathis rumor is true, I think his draft so far is pretty good.
I'm not playing along on TV, but found this on the RSL Boards "Williams just said that he spoke with Ellinger last night and was told that he would be playing behind Kreis and Mathis. He spoke as if it were a certainty that Mathis is coming"
The stuff I have heard and read makes it seem pretty certain. It's not one or two rumors - it's Wahl and Stone and several others openly discussing it. I don't think those guys go with stuff unless it's for real.
