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

What else am I going to follow?

I have not paid any attention to it until this year. We will know in two years how this class panned out.

Follow it all you want, just don't get emotionally invested in the decisions of teenagers and you should be ok

I don’t follow it till signing day. I used to get excited awhile back.

You have to have the right mindset. If you don't, it's best to wait until Spring practice to start learning about the new guys. Get excited and celebrate the ones we get and don't get disappointed by the ones we miss. It can take a long time, a year or more, to actually know the impact, so don't worry about it.

No, it means to enjoy it and have reasonable expectations and know that you're following high school kids.

No, all you have to do is enjoy who we get. Don’t get tied up into these 18 year olds. I followed recruiting religiously and got very disappointed year after year. I stopped following it like I used to and it’s a lot easier on the heart when you enjoy who we do get.

Its fun to see who goes where. But i will never again put stock in what any of these kids say. Not until that LOI is in hand.

U got it bro

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.
