Of course not. He can't know more than the recruits themselves know, and that many kids haven't made a decision that early in the process. So he's figured out a way to game the system so he looks more accurate. It's for show. 2 Quote Link to comment

I don't think he has connections with all the recruits, but he probably has a lot of connections within different teams and is able to get a little more insight that way. He can probably talk to members of staff and get some info on what the recruit said to them and things like that. Quote Link to comment

I just find it hard to believe he randomly guesses, cooks his numbers and no one has thought to verify and call him out on it. Not in 2018 when it seems like everything is so easily fact checked Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 A 91% accuracy rate, five months out, is impossible when 91% of the kids haven't made up their minds yet. Think logically about it. Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 OK, I retract the "utter bunk" statement and agree that there is middle ground between 91% and total bunk/random guessing. We can all get along with our lives now, yes? Quote Link to comment

What does it mean that a team is "in the lead?" I'm curious about the mechanics of how a team is "in the lead" and how a recruiting agency would know that. Quote Link to comment

Well he was super excited after his ASU visit, but it could likely have been just a visit high. The fact that he's officially visited there and liked it is a lot more than can be said for any other school so far. Now he very well could end up at ASU, but there's something to say for having the last visit. Hopefully he makes it this weekend. Edited January 29, 2018 by HS_Coach_C Quote Link to comment

husker98 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Yea I'd just as soon pass on this kid. Anyone who is seriously considering herm Edwards U probably has issues with making educated decisions. Also recruiting rankings are garbage and doing "ok" in an all star game does not immediately make you a guaranteed hit in college. On a final note this is the second time recruiting topics have invaded the football forum this month. Stop it! We got a forum for that! 1 Quote Link to comment
