You must have me confused with someone else? Was I not the one advocating for speculation as part of the recruiting game? How some of it was good? Therefore I’m fairly certain a reasonable mind would assume I know it exists. But it had nothing to do with the situation.
Silent commits are not speculation. They are actual events where a prospect commits to the staff before going public. A large majority of our guys are silent commits for various periods of time. Loy notifying his readers of such is not speculation. He’s plugged in and is letting folks know when good news is received by the staff, but not yet public.
Loy CB’ing 6 RB’s at the same time, is stupid speculation and I hated that stuff. His ninjas are not.
My post might have come off as if I was criticizing you, and if so it’s because it was poorly worded and not at all my intent.
My point was that this board is what 50-75% speculation?
You- LL- and a handful of others provide the IE readers with that info from external sources without us having to purchase a sub and/or put the necessary amount of time in to stay up on what’s going on in recruiting. Most of us understand that we’re not only talking about sources that are trying to get clicks to make a living, but they are also reporting on the latest whims of 15-18 year old kids. It’s imperfect.
However, I’d rather hear the latest speculative news that Loy, Singer, Freeman, etc. have to say than not hear anything at all. It’s appreciated. If I were to post a headline to a story offering an update and ask the board what’s the word, the last response I would want to get would be “I read the article, but I don’t want to provide any info because it’s just speculation.”
