The pickers take one of two approaches.

1.  The "first" approach...they will gamble with limited info in hopes of "breaking the story" of where a kid is going.

2.  The "high %" approach...they will wait and wait and wait until they almost know for sure before they lock in their pick.

1,686 out of 1,888 correct, or 89%. With an average day correct pick of nearly 218 days. Seems unreliable.

I know that whenever I dare criticize the crystal ball stuff that the usual panel of recruiting zealots will show up and defend it to the death, and here we are once again. I’m not trying to stir the pot and shame people for following recruiting. 

In each of these threads you will find posts corresponding to a crystal ball pick coming from someone. Most of them end up being wrong ultimately, and yet the stats remain solid.  

I rarely see people call out these guys for being flat wrong. I see these CBs being taken as truth, and deviations from the CB pick means the ‘kid flaked out’ or ‘something happened’. 

Maybe just maybe, these guys don’t have much information on some of these kids, but they need to make their CB picks regardless to build readership and sell subscriptions. 

My only issue is this:  if the only pick that counts is the last one before we know where a kid is going, then nothing else matters. When Schaefer or Wiltfong ‘drop a CB’ in September, it means next to nothing and will not affect their so-called accuracy percentage when it is ultimately wrong. 

Conversely, it appears there are some members on this board who know more than most about what is going on with particular Husker recruits.

Then, why exactly are you even in the recruiting section?

You have no facts to back up your opinion, it's just a thought you've formed in your head.

247 literally tracks accuracy of CB picks that provide real stats on individuals. 

But that's ok, this discussion has been had before and never goes anywhere. Won't change this time, so no use in discussing further. 

If you don't believe in the CB's it seems simple to just disregard and keep scrolling when a post involving one is made.

Probably, because you're assessment is wrong and you don't understand what those early CBs even mean? :dunno
