I know you do have some insight and it is appreciated, but to say you are the only one on this site with it is just simply incorrect.

I'm suggest that you think twice about closing anymore of my threads. I'm the only one with a little insight to the program on this board. Time and time again I let you guys know that something will happen. Why the disrespect. Anyways here you go we have now hit the mainstream media.

I didn't see the thread, so I can't comment on that, in particular. What I can comment, and only for myself, not anyone else on the board, is this:

I appreciate anyone and everyone who has connections to the program that bring a different perspective to my reading here. I can often only speculate what goes on in the locker room, at the gym, or even on the campus. So thanks to all of you who give us some insight on those things.

However................

I understand you are upset about your thread being closed. Without knowing any of the particulars, I'm inclined to give you the benefit of the doubt and say it's warranted. But your post is a little over the top. "..suggest you think twice about closing anymore of my threads..........." Or what? Nothing personal, here, but that was incredibly "internet tough guy" sounding. As was pointed out, you're not the only one who has provided insight into situations from an insider's perspective. You're certainly valuable in this area, but you aren't the only one.

If I remember correctly Epitome successfully stated that a big prospect will probably commit at the spring game. That prospect was Darby.

Maybe your the most connected person in the world I don't know, but those few sentences made me laugh. It was unintentionally funny, and I'm still smiling about it.. The arrogance of it is hilarious. I would say keep up the good work, but I have a feeling some people around here may not have the sense of humor that I do.

I just think a more specific statement would have helped your cause.

Amen to that! With everything swirling around this morning, this thread makes a refreshing change of pace. What are we discussing here, anyway?

It absolutely had everything to do with recruiting. Kelly was selling out the guys he didn't recruit. If we had a commit coming I would have said it. I've been giving info for 4 yrs know. Ask someone that has been here.

This explanation is so laughable. So everything should be placed in the recruiting section because every player was recruited to ND?

Sorry my perspective doesn't meet your forum criteria. Please move on to another thread now.

Sooo..... What's this "inside story"?

He's saying that his inside info was the Brian Kelly comments regarding his recruits vs. Weis' recruits. Not sure how that's inside info considering Brian Kelly said this to the media and the players reacted to it AFTERWARD...

If your "insider, only I know, info" comes with an ESPN link...

Well it probably isn't that "top-secret"

I have inside info on who will sign every top recruit in the nation. I shall keep it vague and shrouded in mystery until NSD, then I will reveal my insight.

* I don't get it, either post the info, or don't. What's the point of a "I know, but I'm not telling you" post?

I'd like to be the first to say that we will have a top prospect commit at our next spring game. Write it down! Anyway Epitome...I think your thread was closed because it was pretty lame. It said nothing more than "I'm hearing stuff" lol...Cmon bro, your better than that.

I think that's the whole point and why the thread was closed. It does no one any good to post a thread that says "something will happen soon" and therefor the thread was closed. If Epitome had said, instead "hearing rumblings of a personnel issue..." or "hearing rumblings of a divide..." or anything to that effect the thread wouldn't have been closed.

Exactly. I didn't mean to sound abrasive, the guy is obviously a well respected poster, but the thread was unproductive at best.

I closed your thread. You posted nothing of substance.

You're the only "insider"? Nope.

You posted something like this when Prestwood rumors were swirling for a week on many private boards.

It doesn't add anything to the conversation.

If you want a thread to stay, provide the info. A week after the USC game when 50 recruits show up, and you say we get a commit? Doesn't take an insider to know that.

I didn't say that and nor did I take credit for Prestwood. Actually, I said the prestwood info came from the net. If these two instances are all you'll give me cedit for though, your not a very informed mod. There's enough substance in my posts to get the tone.

LOL!!!!

Look, I didn't close your thread, but I can guarantee you that I will NEVER think twice about closing one of your threads. Seriously, what are you going to do...kick my ***? Tell on me? Take your posts to another site where they can debate whether or not a recruit is going to commit at a spring game (cause that never happens right?)?

I always appreciate inside info, but you're hardly the only one with it. Others have brought it as well. Hell, I've even given a few tidbits on recruits from the high school cpaches I know. And anyway, I get far more of it from paysites than you've given.

So instead of embarrassing yourself by complaining about it publicly and threatening us and asking why the disrespect, we should be asking you, why the threat? In the grand scheme of things, who really gives a crap about minute stuff like this???

Your thread became a joke to pretty much every poster and was getting filled with pointless posts. Why would they not close it?

And let's be honest, you made an extremely general guess and you even said it was a "gut feeling" and that you had "no info".

And now you threatening mods for closing your thread is pretty ridiculous.

This site is so blessed right now. Pat yourself on the back... You're doing a great job!

A convincing win today and this entire conversation goes away.

A loss...I won't post for a while.

I can think of 3 posters off the top of my head who has some kind of inside info, inside the program. I do appreciate your info but to make another pointless thread about it and calling out mods isn't needed.
