Whether you like Detillier or not, that is exactly what he is.

Gees, I've had a dozen LSU fans who don't really follow recruiting tell me that I could be a LSU reporter, recruiting expert, or personality of sorts and I am not any more knowledgeable than anyone else who has followed this stuff on the rant along with a pay site or two since the '03 season.

It isn't surprising to me to me at all that the media is full of knowitalls who are just regurgitating stuff from the people who do the real leg work in interviews and travelling to games to do their own evaluations.

I would love to make a living off of going to games and evaluating players, etc so when I hear about the guys who actually do have those jobs and don't put any time into it I lose any respect that I might have once had for their opinions.
