Why you guys give VQ AP and Hubbs so much crap? They actually give good info. What do you give?
Because he speaks in circles, and vagueties. But still enjoy lostening. There is message board silliness versus reality.
That said, Hubbs worked at the radio station with my sis back in the day. Very nice, family guy. I also give Cheggarboard Bob a hard time, Hyams, and used to give Bobby Denton crap.
Kessling and Denton, and Hyams were and are wel regarded by UT Alum, and by folks in that circle. Very very nice people behind the scenes. Bobby and his wife were close to our family. We speak ill of these folks because its easy. However, truth is that Bobby Denton, Ed Brantley, Mike Hammond, John Ward, and even Mickey Dearstone are considered part of TN radio/broadcasting history. I believe Mike, Bobby, and John are in TN radio HoF. I do know that those guys offices were littered with every imaginable award.
I mention those guys because that's Brent Hubbs' story. He learned from all those guys. I respect Brent, a lot to have started VQ at the right time.
As far as AP, and Rob are concerned. Take their info with a grade of slaw. Matt Ray is probably the closest thing to an actual recruiting insider. But if you ever listen to him, he credits AP for how he goes about his business.
Something has changed out there with info amongst recruits. As if coaches or handlers, or collectives are asking kids to play things super close to the vest - to maximize the amount of dollah bills they can receive.
