He may not.. ...My point since last summer is nobody knows. Wiltfong, Loy , JLee, Pink and especially nobody on here knows. Deuce probably don't even know. It's all guesses. That's fine but those are still the most reputable sources on this so their info will still continue to be posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just a post only board where we get to soapbox our thoughts with no pushback. I've called out others before. But I don't sit here, waiting with bated breath to make sure I catch every instance of negativity. I just began to notice a pattern with you and pointed it out. If you can't handle that, the public internet isn't for you. Nothing you've said is worth of being banned, but neither is it immune from being commented on, so pull up your big boy pants and soldier on.

Kinda ironic, you tell me to scroll on past. 3 weeks ago you tell me to put my big boy pants on and accept pushback. Maybe u should follow suit But you aren't pushing back or critiquing anything. You're just whining and complaining that people who have some inside connections - either with the coaching staff or with a recruit - relay what they are hearing but 17-18 year old kids still have minds of their own. And that's pretty much all that recruiting coverage is across the board. No one really knows anything until a kid signs that National Letter of Intent. So bellyaching and pointing out the bleeding obvious (no one really KNOWS what a kid is going to ultimately do) is a waste of time. Parsing information from those involved in the recruiting process - a process that is always in a state of flux by nature - is just the only way it's done if you're going to talk about it at all before signing day. You seem to get really frustrated by it. So maybe following recruiting just isn't for you. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to quote you...You can always scroll past my posts.. I hope we get DK. Maybe we will. But to have questions as to why it hasn't happened yet is justified, since 3 separate time frames posted on here haven't come true. To kinda paraphrase you, if things get posted on here and don't come true, expect questions and doubt and pushback. I'm moving on from this subject. If he commits he does, if he dont, he don't.

I'm not saying he won't work out but we can't assume he will either. At this point I’m ready to just foresake ever taking an HS QB again. What’s the point if every one of them is going to be a bust? 😡 Based off talk I’m seeing on other sites, it sounds like Knight will be a bust too. It can’t be that hard to have good QB play, it just can’t. On principle, I’m a big proponent of emphasizing HS recruiting, but QB is an emphatic exception! I would love for Walker to find a role somewhere on the team, off the field he seems like a true leader. Edited September 12 by AUwent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it keeps up, I'm not just going to remove messages forever. My time is valuable. There's no reason for this to keep escalating though. It's pretty simple. Recruiting by its very nature is inexact and can change day to day, week to week, based on a variety of factors. Those who want to follow it know that going in and take that into account. So having a human Womp Womp Trombone chiming in to complain "no one knows anything" on the regular gets old. You apparently don't really like to follow it if this bothers you. So you can literally just skip the entire recruiting forum. We used to have a long-running beer thread here on AUF. It was for people that like to try various craft beers and like to talk with other people who like them too. No one in that thread wants to keep hearing from the guy who thinks craft beer sucks and how folks who won't just drink Budweiser or PBR are pretentious and fussy. We get it. You don't like craft beer. Let other people enjoy things without your input. Right now, that's pretty much you and recruiting threads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG 35,380 Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 I certainly would not commit after what I saw last Saturday. If Auburn would’ve handled business and ND still loss , I believe he absolutely would’ve been more inclined to commit. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d say we should’ve asked Juju’s dad “how high?” But then again no one else in the south was bothering recruiting him + he has dropped in the rankings so maybe he too will be a bust.
