If you are fragile and weak of mind, then don't follow recruiting.

If you are immature and/or live in your parents basement, then don't follow recruiting.

Simple rules to live by.

Look, I can objectively admit that recruiting basically sucks, but I need something to keep my attention between the Super Bowl and the start of LSU baseball. National signing day used to be that thing, but I am hoping I can replace it with the XFL.

That's what I stopped doing. My days are much more enjoyable now that I'm not hanging on the decisions of 17 years olds. I recognize the value of having great recruiting classes, but there's no reason for me to worry about them until they are finished.

No the moral of the story is...

Especially if your in your late 20's & older.

We're relevant in basketball now. I follow it a lot less than I used to.

It is pretty creepy for grown men with no real ties whatsoever to a college program to be stalking 16 and 17 year old kids on social media.

I miss when there wasn't an early signing day.

I pay way too much attention to this stuff throughout the year and I get myself too worked up about something that may happen 6 months in the future. In the old days, we used to find out about our recruiting class by reading the newspaper the day after signing day. Maybe it was better that way.

Depends on your emotional intelligence. It’s a real thing. Many of us can follow recruiting without getting caught up on the what ifs and then cry and moan. The most emotionally UNintelligent posters even misdirect their anger Within themselves at other posters who make predictions of kids who don’t even know what they really want yet either. It’s psychology.

You CAN follow recruiting and know it’s fluid at the same time. It’s not black and white. If you’re unable to understand that concept and/or too immature not to let it affect your own emotions, please stop and quit blowing up this board and chasing away the few insiders we have. Thanks.

This has been the moral of the story for the last ten years. And yet y’all keep getting suckered in.
