Would like for it to be true but wouldn't be surprised if its just JHop jumping the gun & nothing coming of it.

Yep....

Sounds good but as most of these things they are subject to change any minute!

Yeah cuz that's my style, just make up random names and hope something sticks. Name the last guy I heavily promoted that nothing came of.

Wish I would have been one of the guys who said Walls was committing to Oregon until he committed to Cal. Maybe next time.

maybe you should just not worry about what other people say and let your work do the talking. People dont get a reputation for doing nothing. Im sure you got your rep somehow. Just keep on doing whatever you think your style is and maybe that reputation will change. prob not though.

Is this a jhop bashing thread? Why do you have to be such a prick about it. I like and appreciate the info he gives. Even if he gets some things wrong on occasion he is dealing with 17 year old kids who can change their minds for no reason.

Woah no one said that dude. The reality in the recruiting biz is when you break stuff like this, a lot of the times it ends up being nothing. We see it continually year in & year out. You guys are always the first two break stuff at 247 & sometimes it doesn't come about. Not a knock, it just happens. And I don't think you would argue that.

You shouldn't be worried about it anyways, you're the insider. We're just a bunch of dudes clamoring over what the latest is with some 17 year old.

Jhop is one of the better guys with recruiting, though he's far from 100% (as I'm sure he'd agree, since recruiting is a tough thing to predict). I think most of the anger stems from him and mops pretty much completely ditching this site when both said they would stick around. That's what still bothers me, anyway.

Way more importantly though, this is awesome news. Grimble would be huge.

I don't think that's what he was insinuating. In recruiting scenarios like this (particularly where there's a lot of speculation), a lot of times nothing ever materializes. It doesn't mean that you have bad info - that's just the nature of recruiting. Jon Davis and Jon Lewis are prime examples of this.

we heard the same thing about Deanthony Thomas too a month ago.

Ducks staff needs to concentrate on Heyward and Koi. lets not go ballistic here.

Be grateful guys, jhop and mops could very easily become like M4 and Steve and send threatening emails to AJ threatening to get this site shut down. Both of them also threatened to find the IP of whoever was posting the insider info and get them locked out of educk.

Honestly I don't see how anyone here could have a problem with what hop posted on a site that HE runs. It's not like he stated that this will happen, just that the coaches are being allowed to visit with said recruit and his family and there MAYBE a chance. I for one am thankful for the updates on what the coaches are out doing, weather anything comes from it or not.

[woundedknees]

I for one appreciate any tips I can get, and the earliest one's seem to come from JHop and Mops on a lot of occasions.

I have spent quite a bit of energy on occasion figuring out what they hint at, and find it a challenging exercise if nothing else.

Enjoy the snack, instead of griping about the quality of your free lunch!

fwiw 247 does seem to have info before every other pay site
