re: Where have all the "insiders" gone?

I consider myself somewhat of an "insider"

I've called a couple things on here that came to fruition (Jamal Adams). I also passed along information I got that was wrong (GW3).

When the actual insiders who have jobs as such can't get it right anymore, you know it's getting bad. The game has changed and the majority of kids coming out have no problem lying to people's faces. The day of the recruiting insider has come and gone. I am trying to get away from following it other than looking to see who our current commits are, but even then there is a decent possiblity they don't sign. Long story short 1/2 fricked my recruiting world up.

Yeah, I'm not letting lock, lean, lsu gear, LSU and "contender" battle, etc sway me at all anymore. I'll look and be happy when the kids decide to commit to LSU, but won't be overly excited because they change their minds too.

Recruits' tweets could send this board on a 5-6 page jubilee or a 10 page meltdown last year.

I still see fans on other sites claiming a player isn't shite or worthless or all kinds of things just because he didn't commit to them. I'm glad I got that out my system year one.

Was that his dad?

He posts on the aggie pay site

I strongly believe it was....he knew way too much about the situation....Also, there was an article stating that GW's dad accompanied Speedy and GW to the opening last year. Then 504 came on here talking about how he went to the opening with GW. I just put two and two together.

No you Aaron Hernandez look a like purple thingamajig.

Last year was one of those years where you had a lot of high profile guys that made a spectacle of the recruiting process - most were 5 star type players and most were pretty good friends.

This year the hype factor is nowhere near as close, a lot of these guys weren't even on the radar until recently. Most are players that don't really have a defined position like Merritt and Donte Jackson - where do you play them, all in that 5'10 range that will not be 5 star players.

everyone got their own 247 subs
