Anybody else stop following recruiting all together?

I've almost completely stopped following football recruiting.

I still follow baseball recruiting pretty heavily, but a lot of that has to do with how much I enjoy hunting down the information.

Basketball under Wade has been fun.

It's always been like this. I learned a few years back to just read the tea leaves for myself and not take it too seriously. Every year on here the new buga or Memphis comes along and this board latches onto them like momma's titty and inevitably is disappointed when 17 year old kids do what they do best, be indecisive. The sun will rise, and LSU will sign some good players in February.

I canceled my 247 subscription and basically just follow baseball and basketball now. Too much trolling and dumb shite going on in football. You can't even count on a kids commitment if they commit a month before signing

My interest in following it declined a lot last year and is almost non-existent this year. Now, I'll read up briefly on a kid who commits, and then move on. No more growing attached to a prospect. I just presume a guy who commits in June won't be around come February...it's easier that way. No more reading all the debate and conjecture about who is leaning to which school, kids announcing their top 50 schools, and all that crap. I feel bad for guys like Sonny/Shea who I think do a good job covering it and being professional, but it's a complete guessing game.

Pretty much. If I wish to attend a circus I'll go to the actual circus.

I'm pretty much there
I look at thread titles only for the most part.

P.S.
This board has taken a nose dive

I just check this board out about once a week or so nowadays to check in. I used to be a recruiting junkee and could tell you every kid LSU was interested in and follow all of the sites. Its a waste of time getting excited about any of it nowadays. Not only do you have kids playing recruiting games and trolling, but you also have the reporters from different publications and sites arguing on twitter, bashing each other. bragging etc. The whole thing is a clown show nowadays. Ill watch signing day coverage.

I haven't totally quit, because I'll still follow the recruiting reporters, check this board every other month or so, and then on signing day, but it's just gotten so ridiculous.

Commit, decommit, commit, decommit blah blah.

I watch from a distance. I really don't put much stock into it until a couple of months before recruiting. These players are kids and they often make childlike decisions and change their minds later. Also, if another school comes in with a shoe box a little "heavier" that always plays a role too! Just keeping it real! Geaux Tigers!
