I just noticed, he got 3 recent crystal ball predictions to us, including from Perroni who probably got his info from Vito. Also, our official Twitter page started following him. Looks promising.

Guess this guy was wrong. Tweet came out two minutes before we announced fine. I thought we established Pirtle would be a PWO

I believe we have all the LOIs from the commits now except Ejiya and William Johnson.

No, I don't think he's talking about me, nor do I think I'm very knowledgable. That's the basis of my system. It was not created to prove I'm smarter than college coaches. It was actually created to completely defer evaluation of recruits to the actual college coaches who recruit them, by looking at who thought enough of the recruits to offer them. I honestly don't know who he's talking about, though.

A recruiting battle with a player who keeps flipping is like being in an NBA playoff game. It's not about who leads the longest, it's about who goes on the run at the end of the game.

They're FCS now

Saw this on Twitter via Mr. Greg Goedecker. Never got the indication he was a legitimate commit.

Not sure. 247 composite (not sure if they did ratings back then, but at least it averages the ratings from the other 3) had us at 105 in the country. When trying to filter for Sun Belt it just gave the current Sun Belt. I would guess somewhere in the middle.

That's why I compared Johnson (and particularly his Nebraska offer) to Andrew Power, who we got after Tennessee parted ways with him. Still a very good pickup. If Johnson is as good an LB as Power was at tight end I'll take it. Again, the offer lists of these guys and the guys Mccarney brought in on the same time crunch in 2011 are eerily similar. The key is going to be actually winning recruiting battles in the subsequent classes and stringing together impressive classes every year, not just every 3 years.

Exactly. And also, 2012 was similar in that the kids leaving were not really legitimate FBS players and weren't close to being even rotational guys. There were just more in 2012.

It was somewhat of an issue, but for the most part the kids who left were marginal-at-best prospects who weren't even on the two deep. Two exceptions were Stojkovic who was kicked out after starting as a freshman and maybe Kerry Swarn who was a former Arizona commit who left after redshirting.

Honestly, I think that's a bad choice. If it's a kid playing in a small town who has the size/ability but doesn't have any exposure, then going the prep or juco route can be a good idea. This kid has had all the exposure in the world.

Honestly, I'm much more concerned about him actually firing Benford and making the hire.

It's the same concept as grayshirting. By not enrolling in a college as a full-time student (12 hours), they delay their eligibility counter starting. However, instead of just staying at home training and taking <12 hours, they go to these prep schools and play for a team. They can then be re-recruited and, unlike going the juco route, still have all of their elgigbitly when they get to the university.
