There are several phrases that we see repeatedly in these situations from various "insiders". They are easily spotted, often annoying and usually presented as fact. They are almost always a sign of someone pretending to know more than they really do.

A few of my favorites below:

"I'm hearing"
"According to my sources"
"My guy has never been wrong before"
"One of my most trusted guys said..."
"I talked to someone close to the situation"

What are some others?

How did I miss that one?! That's a good one. Used a lot in recruiting conversations too..."so and so 5* would commit to us if signing day were today, obviously situation is fluid though"

"As of right now..."

The ultimate cover your arse phrase. Whatever is said after that pretty much means nothing.
