Yep. And the fact that so many guys are waiting until NSD is amazing for them. They can drag out the suspense for another two weeks.

Exactly. Tennessee's momentum is good here and Brown has kept everything vanilla regarding all schools but his mom's interview told me we are very much in it..and not so much her words but her tone totally changed when asked about Tennessee and she sounded giddy.

Volquest does the best job by far in covering recruiting. I can't believe people pay for Wes Rucker when there is access to Hubbs and company.

Once you've been on VQ thru a cycle or two you can pretty much read into their lingo to draw a good conclusion. Many times, they really don't know and that's when you see the "hot and cold" I think played by staff members. I usually feel like Hubbs and Fort take a more level headed approach while Brice and Lewis chime in with a nugget to get the krootin junkies stirred up.

Glitch authored the pizza connect the dots post. I believe some random poster who rarely comments made the tank gif post. He dropped mic and exited the stage for good.

My coworker does 247 because of the full access to every teams site. I'd say that is probably more the majority reason of 247 subscribers. Not so much the mods. Message board looks better too from what he has shown me. VQ is all about the mods; message board is a cest pool

However, in my many years on there, Brent would never mislead you. You could tell where UT stood based on his words, and frankly, there a few players who no one has a clue about where they are going.

I agree but if he doesn't have a clue then sometimes it's better to just say so. Hubbs does a lot of hemming and hawing and hedges all bets. That gets pretty boring. This is just football recruiting. It doesn't hurt to stick your neck out once in a while with a prediction that could be wrong later. Hubbs is too afraid of being wrong.

A vintage Hubberism:

"I think that Tennessee has put themselves in good position with _ but if he takes his last visit to _ that could change things. I also think _ could still be in play."

Because if people are paying for your information, you don't say, "I have no clue." You present the facts and then let the reader decide. By the way, the above quote is pretty good info from VQ. It's VQ language for, "He will sign with UT unless he takes another visit." They give you clues.

I don't think Hubbs and co. intentionally mislead their subscribers, but they do withhold information for War Room updates and bigger stories that they can break when the time is right. They are connected with the program to the point where John Brice is actually on Butch's show and Hubbs is in the booth with Kesling on game days. So I think they get their marching orders from someone in the AD about when they are allowed to break news on certain topics regarding recruits.

Hubbs and co. are the best in the biz. I've also known them to be intentionally ambiguous about things to keep from ruining a kid's moment, and I totally respect that. Hubb's War Room report also described the Warrior recruitment as a "toss up" despite numerous well-respected CB's rolling in the last 24 hours.

My feelings about the Brown recruitment, based on nothing more than what I've read here, is that it is currently a 3-way battle between us, Auburn, and UGA. There seems to be positive vibes following each visit, that's why I'm glad Butch Jones has positioned himself nicely with that final visit on the 29th.

Brown's Mom was big on Richt AND Butch early...the type of coaches she wants to take care of her baby...and I'm betting she'll love Shoop. That last visit was a win in itself.

I think Brown is a Vol. I think his mom wants him here also. I think the last OV here says a lot. He told you himself that we stood out & that he only speaks to his parents about where hes going & that if someone else tells you about him they dont know. So others around the SEC doesn't bother me. He went on other visits and then he can come here and clarify any questions he has after making those visits.

It must be so if Magic8Vol says it.

Looking at this objectively, we aren't exactly loaded at the position but we have two bonafide young stars at the position. He very well could be more productive than Thing 1 - Thing 2 but I can see him going somewhere he could start sooner.

It's not easy to keep DT's healthy especially when you have fat Georgia O linemen diving at their ankles from behind. We definitely need as many as we can get.

Well at UGA he would be behind Trenton Thompson at the NT position who is a sophomore. Would you rather be the second guy in the NT spot in a 3-4 or the 3rd guy at the DT spot in a 4-3? Seems like he would get more PT here than UGA.

I did one of those free 3 month things December-February a couple years ago with 247 and soon realized there wasn't much being said that you didn't hear on VN or other free sites.

I don't think Rucker is quite as bad as many here make him out to be, but he's definitely not worth paying to read. That's for sure.
