Prowler...for the record, I like the info you post, simply because I like reading about what may or may not be going on with recruits.
But, I feel that the stuff you just posted (your old posts) about Eric Mack are kind of exactly what Kaos gives you a hard time about.
You see, you said Mack is likely going to visit AU before NSD, and if he does, then mostly likely that means AU lands him. If he doesn't, then that is a pretty good sign that he signs with SC.
Then you said that the AU coaches are still going to visit him, so he's still a possibility even if he doesn't visit.
Then you said even if he doesn't make it down it's not over until he signs.
Don't you see what you did? You started with a theory that went like this: if he visits AU, he likely to sign with us. And if he doesn't, he is likely to sign with SC.
But then you followed it with: but if it doesn't turn out that way, he could still be a possibility.
And finally with: it isn't over until he signs.
So what you did was pitch a guess, then follow it with all other possibilities that cover any scenario in which he signs with us or doesn't.
As it turns out, looks like we will land him, even though he didn't visit and even before the in-home visit. So the only thing you got right was "it isn't over until he signs"....which pretty much goes for every recruit there is.
I'm not saying you're wrong on things, per se, but that you did kind of do an all encompassing string of comments that almost any scenario would fit into.
See, had you stuck with only the original statement about him visiting = AU landing him, and him not visiting = him staying with SC, it would have turned out that you were wrong. But since you added all the vague "catch all" follow ups, you can say you told us all along that it was a possibility....which we all knew.
