We can all agree to disagree. That's why I wait until NSD after the ink has dried on the LOIs. (And no stolen laptops) lol

further more, the kids don't even know where they'll end up. Take dalton santos, kid is from texas grew up a longhorn fan but never got an offer. So what does he do? Takes the next best offer, in his mind, to come to tennessee. At the last minute the longhorns offer and everyone is all up in arms because the kid accepts an offer to play for the team he's always loved, dream come true for him.

Every vol fan on this board would do the same. If they were in his shoes and the teams were reversed.

*who?

Great post OP!

Most of my recruit following is from this board. It's nice to have a few people on here that are willing to put in the work that I am to lazy to do.

:good!:

I know some of you guys dont think I'm serious and Im not most of the time. I know I dont post much in the recruiting forum, thats because most of the time I can't bring any solid information, so I just post the occasional opinion I have.

I can tell you this though. It takes patience for someone to follow recruiting

I see some of you give hell to the likes of skeeter, OCI, and some of the others that bring good info, when they miss on some of the recruits. There really is no need for that. Its not their fault that the recruit changes their mind.

Its like this! Everyone of us has dated a girl before(I hope). We have all been told by that girl that she loves us and wants to be with us only. She tells us what we want to hear and we like it. Then one day you find out that she has been talking to another guy. She didnt really like you as much as you thought. Thats life, it happens, and you move on!

Similar things happen in recruiting. These guys go visit a school and they think they are in love, they tell the coaches what they want to hear. The coaches filter bits of info about the recruit. Guys like skeeter, OCI, and others pick up that info and share with us.

The recruit visits another school. That school becomes the flavor of the month. Then we hear the news and try and blame the people who gave us the info

These coaches and the guys that give us info cant control the day to day feelings of a 17 year old. This has been a constant since I started following recruiting in the early 90's.

Enjoy the inside info that these guys give us and at the same time, take it with a grain of salt. Nothing is for certain until the ink is dry.

Anyway, just my 2 cents

Couldn't agree more. With me being out west, it is the best way I can get the information I want.:salute:
