nah, I think that's too high. Oh well, we tried, at least we have a chance.

I saw one ESPN NSD article that had Bryant down between Miami and FSU.

Lol, taking shots at my post count again, because that's clearly relevant. And as I've said before, I'm not a Miami fan, my roommate made this account. Why don't you stop calling kids headcases when you can barely form a coherent sentence and 99% of your posts restate others' posts with insight trying to make it look like your own?

I think Miami's out. He's said he wanted to win BCS championships, and Miami is not too good a place for that. I think he wants FSU, mama wants USC.

Why would your roommate make a cockytalk account, and then why would you use said account instead of making your own?

Not to be negative either, but Korn is usually right. However, there are times he has it wrong, and people seem to remember his mistakes more than others it seems. I would trust what he says over most of the amateur recruitniks on this forum. That being said, it would be a downright coup for him to get this one right. I don't see it, unless Bryant is really going to shock the world.

Also: you can change your Screenname can't you? This is some catfish shenanigans.

Korn moved his percentage to 50-50.

So he is a fan of new kids on the block?

Something makes me think he's going to FSU, hopefully I am wrong because I would love to have him.

The recruiting circus - which these online sites and sources make their hay from - instantly dies down and becomes largely irrelevant until at least the summertime...

It wouldn't surprise me to see these "experts" deliberately churn up excitement about prospects by making them out to be strong possibilities, to get more viewers and visits to their online sites. But they need to do it in the days before NSD: afterwards it doesn't matter as everyone knows then...

What we'll see is Kornblut suddenly come out with "new" inside info about "new" developments in Bryant's camp that "something" happened, and he's now turned toward FSU, but we STILL have a chance. Then sometime in the morning tomorrow he'll report that his sources are "now" saying that it looks like FSU. Probably an hour before Bryant announces, if not minutes before.

But the truth is that Kornblut never had any sources, and never got any inside news. He just made it up, in order to get some excitement to follow/check up on his online site. I know of several of these so-called "insider experts" that actually subscribe to reporting that kind of rubbish for that very purpose....

You have to PM either khosk or cockyhoskins, it's an entire process. Feel free to PM them for me and tell them I'd like to get it changed.

Do we really always have to randomly trash talk a Clemson fan and say fear the thumb it's getting a little played out.

The reality is you have zero chance at Adams and a 20% chance on Alexander unless one of them shocks the world.

I would say the percentage on Alexander is higher than 20%. Supposedly UF tried to flip him tonight and from all indications he wasnt very receptive. Also UF believes he is probably going to Clemson. Adams unless a miracle happens is going to AU. Have no idea what happened on that visit but before then he was telling people and staffs he was going to Clemson.

Kind of hard to understand that logic. What size school a player plays for is totally dependent on where they live at...has nothing to do with any real factors regarding talent and ability.

As a matter of fact, it is actually a huge drawback in judging talent...because until the whole "social recruiting boom" in the last 10 years, a lot of players (especially in SC) were neglected due to playing at small high schools with very little exposure.

I can name quite a few players that played at 1-A high schools who ended up performing at 5* levels in college...first being Alshon Jeffrey, or Da'quan Bowers, or Ricky Sapp, and I can list more.
