They're just making a presiction from the information that they have. Everyone wants to know where those guys think a recruit is going, so they do them so that they aren't constantly being asked where they think someone is going IMO. If anything it just goes to show how fast things change in recruiting and that even the experts aren't always right. Just my opinion.

And a great percentage or the time they wrong. I agree things change fast in recruiting. These clowns change their pick after the recruit commits to the committed team other than their original pick. Hence the joke on their credibility.

I wasn't aware that they could change their prediction after a guy committed, and if that's the case I agree with you that that's a joke. If that is indeed the case then that part of it should be reevaluated and fixed. As well as being able to change their predictions over and over. Maybe limit them to only being able to change them twice (so 3 predictions in total) at the most per recruit. I enjoy the crystal ball predictions already but I think that would make it even better.

The crystal ball thing is an ingenious marketing strategy. Nothing more, nothing less. Those guys know how unpredictable recruiting is. At least now we get to laugh at them for being so god awfully bad with their predictions.

Per Shannon Terry they can't change a pick after the recruit has committed unless something changes like what happened with Detric Dukes and UGA. Example is Khairi Clark who was 100% picked to go to Miami by 14 analysts and even after he committed to Florida yesterday all 14 have the same picks. The same happened with Darrion Owens who was 83% to UGA and 17% to Miami and even after he committed to Miami no one changed their prediction. I mentioned this in another thread, but they are going to track the crystal ball picks and you will be able to see who are the more accurate guys when it comes to making their picks.

"It was great. It was more than I expected. I thought that all the love they were showing was good. They showed me a lot of love, the fans, the coaches and the players," Lambert said. "The coaches and the players are just alike. They were really nice people. I hung with Corey Miller, Daniel McCullers and Byron Moore," Lambert said.

"That was great. He told me that I was the first recruit ever to come to his house for his visit," Lambert offered. "I was the first one to sign the wall in his basement for guys. That was pretty cool."

"They showed me that they have a lot of linemen leaving and that he has a lot of redshirt freshmen and sophomores," Lambert said. "From what I'm hearing I can come in and start and that's really big knowing I have two years of eligibility. That would be really good." "The facilities, everything was brand new and more stuff was being built as well," Lambert said. "And the vibe from the coaches was unbelievable. I'm still thinking about it right now, how great it was."

"I have a top two right now and it's in no order. It's Tennessee and Florida," Lambert offered. "The way they produce players and get them to the league. They have everything laid out for you. You just have to do it. They have great training and it's like a combine every day. They start from when you get there to the middle of the season until you leave," Lambert said. "They put your whole body through a transformation to get you to the league and that should be your goal if you play football. Both head coaches know a lot of NFL coaches so that's great."

"Education is first. Then, playing time, can I get to the league, and if I do can I come back and get my diploma and degree. that's what I look for when I go on these visits," Lambert said.

VFL program is looking good here, if he is truly interested in coming back and getting his diploma, if he makes it to NFL before finishing his degree. Loved the part about CBJ having a wall in his basement for recruits who OV to sign...yes, he gets it!

That statement says a whole lot about this young lad. Reel him in coach. This one is a must.

Obviously a Gator in that case. :)

When are we expecting a decision with this one?

I read a few pages back and didn't see it mentioned. Sorry if I missed it

Pretty sure I read somewhere he mentioned before the season. Looks like he names a new leader after every visit. He isn't going to FLA. We need the last unofficial before he commits.

The fact that Lambert has made it a point to earn his degree, and receive an education says a lot about his character. He has a good head on his shoulders for sure. No doubt in my mind, that he'd start next season with McCullers and Couch heading to the draft. Hopefully Lambert becomes a Vol here soon!

As much as I would love to claim full credit for such an upstanding Congresswoman as Corrine, we can only her for some random specialists degree.......Florida A & M gets the rest of the credit.

Don't worry though, plenty of other yahoo's have graduated from UF.

Go GATA!

Think she got her masters degree there as well :)

So if we could land a DL class of Henderson, Barnett, Lambert, Humphreys, and Ford I would be very pleased. Hendrix being the wildcard option later if there was room when he is ready to announce.

I really don't see how you DON'T make room for Hendrix.

All things aside you have to take a guy like that if he wants in down the road even if that means telling someone else to grey shirt or take a hike.

Not if you value what your selling recruits you don't. If there is room, take him. I don't think CBJ tells anyone they will no longer be a VOL(if they have been committed for a while) or ask them to grayshirt last minute because Hendrix wanted have fun and play the recruiting game. If kids committed take visits or "look around", I could see the staff considering other options.

Lulz...if there is room

I think it's funny how people think no matter what if a kid is a stud, we will make room. It's just not going to work out like that. When you have a limit on what you can take, and the staff is obviously trying to fill it up quickly, some of these kids are not going to be Vols. If you want to see fallout, let the staff tell a kid who has been committed for months and been told "we love you" 163 times he is being booted to make room for a Hendrix or another kid who wanted to play the recruiting game. The whole "family" thing the staff is preaching would be out the window. It's just not going to happen. He is a take if there is room at the position. 2 months ago Truitt was a absolute stud to many on here and he was a take no matter what. Well, I guess that thought was inaccurate.
