He was a "silent commit" to Michigan per their insiders. Hilarious.

This is twice in very recent memory that a "Michigan lock" on the DL has rather shockingly chosen Bama over the Wolverines.

Driskell heard from a couple people we might have slowed played him for a couple months and then went after him hard recently.

I don't know anything anymore. Didn't see that, ignore me then. A decent amount of people think he's a lil overrated and not sure where you put him on the next level.

I'm just happy he is not committed to SCUM currently.

I don't mean to complain, but is there a reason you post videos of recruits we're no longer involved with? It just gives me false hope that we're back in it and then it's an inevitable let down when I realize it's a high school vid. I'm sure most people could find these vids themselves if they wanted to keep tabs on kids that have already said no to us.

I only speak for myself but I think its a good idea as I like watching tape of players. Maybe try and focus, if possible, on guys we may have more of a shot with.

Fair enough. Maybe make a thread devoted just to this. Because like I said, I really like it but he does bring up a fair point.

I say keep posting them lol. What's the point in maintaining a player profile if we can't post relevant information in them, regardless of whether or not ND has been eliminated?

Creating general threads would defeat the purpose of someone looking at stuff about a specific prospect.

I'm not against posting vids of recruits, I would just prefer that we limit it to guys we're still somewhat in play with. I understand dublin's interest in local kids, but they're not local for many of us.

Is it just because of the profile being bumped?

I can dig it. Keep up the good work Dublin.

I do understand the anti-bump, get-my-hopes-up mentality, but I just worry about beginning to draw crazy lines in what can and can't be posted in profiles.

Essentially. I know it's a minor thing, but this time of the year in particular when we're getting a bunch of good news about players visiting or potentially decommitting from USC or UCLA, it's a major letdown when you see Kareem's name pop up and its just a highlight video.

I understand, but bumps are inevitable, and I wouldn't want posters feeling like they shouldn't post information that might be of interest to others. It would be like outlawing thread bumps about a guy committing to another school. Yeah, it sucks, just like being teased by a highlight-video thread-bump, but it's still information that people will look for in that profile regardless.

I can see why you say this. I definitely was disappointed when the newest post was just a video.

So while I appreciate the work dublin does in finding and posting those videos, I can also see denson’s point. I guess I tend to side with denson on this, but don’t want to offend Dublin because he’s been nothing but great for this site.

i think in future i might post early in a recruits thread with a "reserved for highlights" post and then add in any footage that comes along. this might be the best thing to do

I just wonder, where should it stop?

If we aren't going to bump a recruit's profile for a new post with highlights, should we also avoid bumping a recruit's thread for ANYTHING that isn't good news for ND?

YES. Make it happen Lion.

Also, no more discussion of anything unless it's good. How do we define good you might ask.

Easy: whatever I say

Please do not PM me before you post, I'll make a post with all good things for reference.

**As an aside, or is it actually on topic, I side with Denson and NDinLA but I do appreciate what Dub does for the site. Really great stuff**
