Absolutely outstanding!!!


Thanks for all the hard work and insights!!!

This will be a fun class to watch. Reminds me of Berry's class in terms of knowing a lot more about these guys before they've ever played a snap.

And, I can see you guys are off and running on the 2010 class. That class will be nothing short of amazing!

I said good. The information was there as soon as it could be provided. The only part I don't like is everyone's BS all up in the mix. Several pages of people's banter and useless words. Maybe the mods can delete posts not pertinent to the thread. The garbage kills me. But everything else was wonderful. Keep up the good work!

Everything was VERY up-to-date which was awesome! If I could give some constructive criticism, it really sucked having to go to the last page on a player's thread and then read backwards to find out the latest on him. If there was a way you could post all of the recruits on the front page and then have the posts on them pop up in reverse order, that would make it even greater!!

This is the first season I've followed recruiting so closely. I thought it was great, and as far as ideas of improvement I would suggest mods trying to update the original post for each recruit with late breaking news, you could date stamp each entry. That way we don't have to read through 100+ pages of arguing over conference strength or program relevancy to get to the actual info. That's no fault of the mods, just our fault as posters going off topic. I'm guilty of it, too.

Overall though, great job, really enjoy the site and coverage.

I think if we could have one thread/area for pertinent, reliable news on recruits so that everyone wouldn't have to wade through all of the garbage to get the latest news. No one likes to read through 50 posts just to find out nothing new has happened. At the same time, I have to say that getting this much up to date, information on a free site is unbelievable. I know that many people worked hard to make it happen and I greatly appreciate it.

I meant to send Rex a PM expressing my thanks. Sorry I never got around to it. You guys did a great job. Things were wild and changing by the minute. I appreciate the hard work it took to keep this place up to date and informed. :hi:

It was a good as its ever been and I can already see progress to making it better next year. The offer chart that GHEric made is perfect!

Agreed, I said great, with the one improvement needed being getting rid of off topic replies...tough to sort through it all if you have been away from the puter for a few days...

We're kicking around some ideas to try and remedy that situation.

+1.
An edit to the first post with any major news about the prospect would be great.

I voted good, the information was always there, but sometimes hard to find with all the nonsense that starts on the threads, i can already tell this year will be better the offer list that eric put together is great and i havent seen anything lately on those player card things but i thought that was a great idea and would love to see them put to use if possible. Sometimes there are also so extremely pointless threads that are put up but thats not a big deal, i just dont look at them.

The "real" info is great! :good!:

I totally agree that the mods should remove the garbage. I read the posts to get good info - not a a lot of arguing and off-subject posts. I read a lot but dont post unless I have something important to say - unlike others - IMHO.

It would be great if you could go immediately to the posts for the current day instead of starting with post #1 when you click on a thread.

The orange square next to each thread allows you to go to your last unread post.

maybe the mods could have a thread dedicated to only Mods and Gurus post and then have another thread where we can talk and debate and gett of topic and drop RWilks jokes...just an idea lol
