I wanted to make a thread for people to post suggestions, pet peeves, complaints, and anything else that comes to mind in order to make the recruiting profiles more enjoyable for all of us and our guests. I was going to do this a few months ago, but wanted to wait for after NSD so it would actually go noticed.
My suggestions/pet peeves:
1) Don't bump a thread for no reason. I understand this is arbitrary, but please use discretion. If, say, a 2014 recruit has a ND offer (not committed here or anywhere else), and Baylor offers him, we probably don't need the thread bumped to let everyone know he's on the Bear's radar. At this point, who cares? The type of players we follow on here are going to get a TON of offers. If he's a ND commit? I say bump it. If a month has gone by, and he's picked up a 'dream offer', that matters. If a month has gone buy, and 4 more teams have offered him that aren't shown on the thread, sure, update us please.
Furthermore, if a thread has been dead for a few days or longer, if you're going to post something in it, please add something of value. Don't bump a thread to say 'I hope we get him'. It's annoying.
2) Post your sources! If you post something like 'visiting Michigan', unless you're a very select few on this board, you're going to get asked for your source. Do all of us a favor, and give credit where credit is due. Unless said-recruit is your homeboy and he texted you saying he's 'yo, bro, I'm headed to Michigan this Saturday!', let us know where you heard this information.
These are my suggestions. Doesn't mean I'm right and I didn't start this thread to only share my opinions. Please post suggestions that you think will better the recruiting profiles.
Note - And don't come back with the 'if you don't want to click on the profile, don't'. I click on highlighted profiles because I expect A) an ongoing, well constructed conversation (after all, we're ND fans. Best in the nation
), B) Legitimate recruiting news, or C) Something related to the player that is important (i.e., grades, new 40 times, big time offers, player listing a favorite, etc).
Please make your voice heard!
