IE predictions

[arrowryan]

Crystal Ball isn't a joke, Bunting and Bars were two of the worst cases they've had so far, just happen to be ND related. You also have to know who to pay attention to, Wiltfong is like 95% correct so far.

Yea I just saw that. Gerry Hamilton has picked 43-49 too.

The problem is a lot of guys who have committed this early were layups.

Off-topic but I think it would be pretty cool if fans could do the crystal ball thing

I spoke with signing day about that today. It's not a real groundbreaking feature but it'd be cool sand very easy to implement. Anything to stir up the fanbases lol.

IE should just make their own version of it. Have a leader board of who is most accurate and what not.

I can see it now..

"TP changed his prediction from Notre Dame to Michigan. SHIIIT!"

That is an awesome idea. MODS?????????

 

[NDdomer2]

shouldn't you have a real good percentage of prediction when you can change it?

I think the ie predictions would be a bit bias lol. But yeah that'd be cool.

You're prediction is locked in when the recruit has made his decision. If he decommits then you are able to switch your decision.

And yeah it could be bias but that could hurt you're picking percentage. If someone picked Notre Dame for every recruit, I doubt his percentage would be high

yeah but just like this guy from 11 warriors he has already changed it

so you could just change change change change change. would be hard to be wrong. Kid is set to announce tomorrow at 1. 12:55 oh **** i was wrong change.

That second part is a good idea. I never thought of it that way

Make it lock 24 hours before like 247 does.

Still plenty of time with as connected as some of these guys are. You should get one prediction. If you aren't sure don't predict. Very simple.

These analyst and their predictions are almost worse than these kids and their commitments.

Put a limit on the amount of changes you can make on a recruit? Put the limit at 3 or so. That's an easy thing to fix

Then no one would predict until the 25th hour.

You could scale it using a point system rather than percentage. A prediction made the night before isn't worth as much as one made a month before. Doesn't exactly take into account a guy who is a genuine toss up 24 hours before his commitment but it's a start

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

Maybe a sliding points scale for how far in advance you made the pick so that somebody getting it 2 months in advance gets more than somebody picking 2 days in advance. Or maybe subtracting the potential points available after each switch.

That's a terrible idea.

There are many ways you could do it. I would love if we could add this. It would freshen up the long off season and it could get crazy near NSD

 

[arrowryan]

How about this. Everyone gets a maximum of 3 changes to each recruit. If you pick it right the first time, you get 30 points; the second time, 20 points; the third time; 10 points.

We could just do total points instead of percentages. And just do the top 100 or 150 recruits

 

[clashmore_mike]

Would be a pretty cool thing to see play out, not sure how it would be best implemented on IE. I would think it'd be easy enough to track on an excel spreadsheet at least to get started.

 

[NDdomer2]

See now we are brainstorming. Sliding point scale, plus points is awesome. All the analysts would have a grade then. Then douchers like Farrell would either just accept their own douchery and continue with constant flip flopping and receive a poor grade or they would change and just let you know what they are hearing without making a million predictions.

 

[clashmore_mike]

Could probably be done using Google Drive, at least to collect people's predictions.


I'll start a thread to discuss this further and move these posts there. Will also put up an example of google form, they are actually pretty useful and cool to play around with.

I might be misunderstanding what you are saying. But it would just be IE members only. None of the analysts would be able to unless they were members. We could just make a little tab for it up at the top.

I think it would be pretty simple

haha Sorry, in Kyle Allen's thread someone threw out the idea of somehow starting an IE recruiting prediction thing similar to what 247 does. I moved all of those posts here to clean up the Allen thread and to discuss it further, because it would be fun to see how the predictions played out.

no, I got it... I was just being silly...

 

[clashmore_mike]

yes congrats arrow, you are now in charge of figuring out how this will work.

I hope someone is good with computer programs because I am awful at it
