re: Is the moral of the story to just simply not follow recruiting?

The biggest problem I see is poor reading comprehension. Some folks bought into an obvious troll claiming to be Burch's uncle. There were obvious inconsistencies in his initial post.

Other folks get so angry at Voltiger13 saying "he got their hopes up" or that he's a "liar". I have no idea who the guy is but none of his statements that I've seen would be any different than if O came on the board and shared his thoughts on where we were with recruits.

We signed a great class. We had some nice surprises like A Gilbert, McGlothern, Webb, Dumervil, etc., and some misses like Burch and the two WRs. If we sign a class like this every year we will always be in contention. That's a big takeaway.
