A lot of the Crystal Ball is just playing odds. If a kid is going into a visit with legit interest in the school he is visiting, just throw out a prediction in case he is blown away and decides to commit. 90% of the time the prediction is not made on inside info, but rather just following others predictions or playing the odds.

Well said. This is what I was getting at. He doesn't know anything just an opportunity to be right before everybody else.

Is Shannon Terry, CEO of 24/7 sports, also being a homer or did he talk to Loy and he knows something we don't???

The Crystal Ball is entertaining. It should not be taken too seriously, but it is interesting to see who some guys are picking and when they make their selections.

Especially this ... remember when Kyle Allen announced that he was deciding and everyone had ND, and then Wiltfong switched his pick to TAMU at the last minute, and everyone followed suit? Lol.

He just copies the latest prediction

Luckylucci · Jun 20, 2013

My statement was in regards to Rack Em' asking a question regarding Loy it had nothing to do with your previous statements. Clearly Loy throwing up a Williams prediction a day or two before he confirms that he wasn't even coming is pretty obvious that he was trying to get ahead of these visits with his predictions without knowing anything.

You guys on IE know more than some of these self professed recruiting gurus'. That's one reason I decided to sign up.

Can I cheer from a distance???

Anyway... too much light shows my slight imperfections.

Loy thinks it will come down to FSU, Bama, & ND. One positive about Loy is he does have sources in Florida since he used to work over at Warchant for 247

You know IE has an inside source from Warchant also.

Warchant is the Rivals site.

Brett Favre once tried to get inside a FSU source, but he struggled reading the defense.

I would have personally thought it would be more Clemson, FSU, Miami, and ND.

Does anyone else feel like Loy is being a big homer with his predictions? Everyone that visits ND he throws up there.

Think there are at least ten guys on commit watch. Lets fill up the '15 class this weekend as well.

I appreciate his optimism, but let's be real here.

Actually only 3, Holmes, Tillery, & Hoge, according to Loy.

Can someone post or recap the ISD video interview with Holley? I'm surprised we haven't heard anything about his visit. Is he still on campus?

He should have left for OSU already. I think 247 & Rivals are scrambling to get in touch with Carter & Tillery so that's why they haven't got anything on Holley

I really like this kid. He appeared well spoken. He worked really hard to pull Coach Elston's name. I saw that as a very good sign. Also, I was surprised at how much he has lost his boyish look of two years, or a year-and-a-half ago.

Two other guys picked Holley to ND today on the Crystal Ball, one being JC Shurburtt. Has there been an update on how he liked his visit to OSU?

NDPhilly · Jun 23, 2013

So as of now Holley as 4 predictions on 247 and all 4 are for Notre Dame.

Doesn't let much on in that interview

Didn't say anything besides he would have updates tomorrow.

jerboski · Jun 24, 2013

Short update said both OSU and ND made impressions and would have more tomorrow

PLACforever · Jun 24, 2013

What DT wouldn't want to play behind Nix for one year? Learn from a future first rounder.
