You know those same people who you call funny for paying for info is one of the main reasons this site is worth anything at all? There would literally be no recruiting news on here without people generously sharing insider information.
Every thread in the recruiting forum would be about Derek Dooley's incompetence, the difference between a double cheeseburger and a McDouble, the gas mileage of a Toyota Prius, etc. without recruiting service info. The legit recruiting conversation from thread to thread stems from insider information. Otherwise, how would we even know who Tennessee offered to begin with, much less who's on campus right now for official visits?
