People beg for freaking info then when it's told the guy who says it is a jackass and god forbid you keep private stuff private.


Instead of being stoked about this class it's omg these guys are such meanies and think they are so cool!!

Neither red nor I once said anything about how we r great and your welcome TD but people just always have to complain and cry about something

Thanks, Redfield, Tebow, and other insiders. I appreciate the inside information. My take from several days ago was that there was one "pretty definite" boom and a possible second. Willis was neither of the booms. From other hints I guessed Bower was the "pretty definite" boom but didn't know who the second might be. You gave very valuable and accurate information - more than what I read on the recruiting sites. The type of information you provided is the reason I visit this site. Recruiting is volatile. Don't let overly-emontional posters shoo you away.

I was around. I saw. It took a while. There was a whole lotta "we can't talk about it because he doesn't want it out" stuff. Buncha back door emailing and the likes. Honestly red, I'm not ripping you but there was a whole lot of "look at me" going on for a while.

And if that's not our "sources"

Find me a pay site article that talked about RSJ decommitting.


Don't worry, I'll wait.

We only talked about 2.
"Boom 1" - Bower
"Boom 2" - RSJ (which I was wrong on)

That's what make this shite fun. Although, I have a sneaky feeling that about the first week of every February, we'll see a lot of boom jokes.

Again, some of them do have inside sources. BR is a small community and a lot of people know those on the team and coaches and even boosters. I am willing to vouch for both Red and Memphis as they have told me who they contact.

They will learn from the experience and most likely become better posters. Live and learn.

Given how volatile recruiting is, their information/hints were pretty accurate. Thanks to redfield, tebow, memphis et al., for sharing what you were able to share!

I think I can speak for me, red, & tebow that we were not purposely trying to give off a "look at me" approach. Sorry if that was seen that way

When I first started posting here (quite a while back) and on internet boards, I was a much different poster. Communication via the internet takes a little learning. Just like life.

Dude you should definitely realize this by now. It doesn't matter, jackasses will always find something to bitch about. You could have predicted 10 NSD booms and been right about 9 and people would have questioned the legitimacy.

Some dumbasses think Cam Cameron would be a horrible hire. The same idiots complained all season how they want a new OC.

At the same time, maybe some could lighten up on the "posters coming over from the Rant" schtick? The faux superiority wears a little bit.


Whoa. Take a step back. Rantards have made this board difficult during the last few weeks.

Red was the only poster on ANY Board who knew the truth about TM7 back in August, so when he said he had knowledge about these two possible signings, I believed him and still believe there was fire in the RSJ smoke.
Memphis knew RSJ was never 100%, never said he was. As soon as he knew, he dropped the initial pct from 70 to 10. It was the rest of the people that went crazy, these guys didn't.
THANK YOU, Red, Memphis and Tebow, batting .500 ain't bad!!!
