If you listen/read/watch his press conference today talking about the recruits, his humor shows through.  He has some good one liners in there and a lot of personalization when describing the players and family.

On Doug Brenner:
Brother of Liz, we’ll try to recruit her—it’d be her seventh and eight sports at the University of Oregon

On Darren Carrington:
His sister is a very good basketball player, she’s better
than him

Devon Allen:
He’s just a really dynamic guy. He’ll help Track Town USA as well as hopefully Football Town

Danny Mattlingly:
When we went on our World Tour, we walked out of his house, they have this huge acreage outside of Spokane, and there is snow of the ground, it’s about eight degrees and we looked at each other and said ‘How about this guy?’ He’s just off the charts.  Kim is wrong, he's not an idiot.  KJStoph is wrong too.

John Mundt:
The same kind of deal [as Mattingly], his family is in the nut business. I learned all about the nut business, which is fascinating. I can tell you all about walnuts and almonds


There's a lot more, I'm not doing all the work for you, read/watch it yourself.

Where is a video posted so we can watch a replay?

Calling out Kim was classic. Poor little quasi guy like person is probably looking to pound someone in the thighs (or thereabouts) for leaking that chat screen shot. No clue what a KJSoph even is.

Pretty sure that was a Gordo add.

Definitely a Gordo add. I think KJStoph played QB in the nfl foe the seahawks and played college ball at Colorado State

After the Mundt quote above.  Helf said something along the lines of: "did you know it's pronounced 'ah-monds', not al-monds.  Did you know that Fentress?"

Aaron Fentress replied:  "No, I didn't know that."

Good stuff.

Posted here in its 40 minute entirety:

A couple more "lol" moments from the press conference I noticed after watching the whole thing:

After going through the whole list of recruits and detailing each one of them which took several minutes Helfrich was tired of talking non-stop for a sec and was like "ok That's too much talking Chris (the reporter who asked him to go through the whole list)...ha who's asleep???" and he squints out to the side of the microphone over the audience of reporters gathered there.

And right after a reporter asks how the "style of play" Oregon has comes up with the recruits apparently the microphone that the reporters pass around to speak in drops off-camera after Helfrich begins to answer the question and he is like "UH-OH! *gets serious look on his face* My fault...probably. Sorry about that...*looks over at Dave Williford* ... Comes out of Dave's budget right there."


So yeah so far Mark sure seems to give a more laid-back lighthearted press conference then Chip did haha
