I disagree. The problem is that even accurate inside information doesn't necessarily become reality. I have no doubt that what we hear is what some believe will happen. Then there's reality.

I’ve been on this message board actively for 10 years. There have been what I would consider legit insiders before — their info was cant miss. There is no one like that posting on this message board currently, and it has been that way for a few years now.

Cultists have little tolerance for outsiders who question the faith. BTW, as a longtime mostly lurker, IMO AV has connections and is a good guy, but misses on things a LOT more than 5% of the time. Not necessarily his fault, and I don't blame him--I'm not sure Pruitt himself could be right about what will happen with recruiting and other things 95% of the time. AV's cult-like followers, however, are very amusing.

Good people don't like seeing a good guy that actually does something besides piss on people get torn down. Your "cultist" insult is just another prick picking a fight.

Anyone else not impressed with the early signing day overall?

Considering we got the doors blown off by Mizzou and Vandy to end the season while missing a bowl game, I'd be happy to clean up with who we have signed, plus Darnell, Crouch, and Gray.

Was there the big fish surprise that was hinted at and hyped up for the last few weeks? No. Are we doomed because of it? No. Y'all keep paying attention to Bama and Georgia, and yeah it sucks, but they can still only play 11 dudes at a time. We knew it was a process to rebuild this thing the right way. Throw the magnifying glass away and buy a hammock for the next year or two.

Edit: Didn't see the next post establishing "overall".. I'll leave what I originally said because others can probably stand to read it.

Overall, ESD is still being felt out by the majority of teams. So far it's hard to say who's benefited most from it-- which teams, what caliber of player, etc.

My gut (and it's based off of reaction to today's and last year's ESD, as well as our standing as a non-bowl-qualifier the last two seasons).. My gut says it's helped the perennial CFP contenders the most, as they're able to say "Get on aboard before we leave you behind".. Then again, it helps the non-contenders by allowing us to sign a significant portion of our class and focus on closing, instead of worrying about other teams poaching our guys.

So, mixed bag. It'll take another few years to get the big picture IMO

I still feel good about Crouch, Gray, and Wright. Unlike some of the guys we didn't get today, we've not only heard that we should get them, they also have overwhelming numbers of CBs to UT.

I’m guessing all the people “not impressed” with early signing day would be hanging off the staff’s danglers if we came into today with like 5-7 commits and all of a sudden McCullough, Morris, Chris A, Keyton etc etc signed today out of nowhere. People would be singing in the streets “we went from the 40th class to top 15...Pruitt is a God! And we still can get Wright, Crouch, etc”

All a matter of perception
