JC, Schrader, and Wiltfong all just changed their crystal ball predictions to ND.

Yup all within 11 minutes of each other. Guess they heard something.

Going to be a tough pull and possibly even harder hold but I want Allen BAD. Would probably mean we land Andrews too who I think is a total baller and perfect fit for us. Maybe the biggest must get in this class.

Sounds like a law firm.

So that I am clear, this whole crystal ball thing we hold in such high regard... can Wiltfong and Co. change that at any time leading up to a kids actual commitment and still have it count in the positive in their overall percentages?? It seems like that is the case, and if it is that whole crystal ball thing doesn’t really mean much imo.

I think we get Allen and Andrews, they say they aren't a package deal but come on, they are best friends. IMO Allen is down to OSU, UCLA, & ND while Andrews is looking mainly at ND and OU mainly IMO . One common team there...

A lot of times they lock it a day or so before the announcement. The idea though is that the analysts adjust their predictions over time so you get a feel for what way things are trending. I agree that overall % is a bit silly because someone could be screaming from the mountain top for team A for months and then the week before the announcement change their mind.

Agreed. That's basically how I see it. Hope we're the best fit for both guys and whichever domino goes first causes the other to fall.

i think it shows avg days correct in their statistics.

I don't get all the complaining about the crystal ball, analysts predictions should really be premium info and they're giving it away for free.

I'm not complaining about hearing their opinions... I'm wondering why so many seem to think that a crystal ball prediction is some near lock when they are apt to change it whenever they want.

i think that's why they have the avg days right. if they change their prediction right before it will show. those who make their predictions early are rewarded.

I agree, after what's transpired a big time QB might have become the biggest need this class. And that is no disrespect to Malik. We need to have than one QB that can win a lot of games.

Side note: I thoroughly enjoy following the crystal ball predictions. Adds another level to following recruits that ND isnt going after.

With the stable of running backs Notre Dame is acquiring, there may be more consideration to handing than throwing the football, Kyle.
