Sources, Rummors & Percentages
are all bull****. We need to take the information that Ariz + company give us and take it for what its worth. Instead of forcing them to give us percentages. ALex Collins told our staff he is going to be a cane.. Pete sais a cane lock and the kid goes on TV and sais Hickville and we **** at Ariz lol.
This times 1,000,000.
From what I gather, admittedly as someone who has never subscribed to a pay-for-information-two-seconds-earlier-than-everyone-else recruiting service, Pete seems to have the most accurate information in the business, at least as far as South Florida and the Canes are concerned. But external pressure from followers of recruiting on his website forces him into guessing percentages on kids he isn't 10% sure about. He may have had sources on some of these guys, like Collins and Thomas, but they were likely not up to the standards he would have liked when it comes to putting his predictions out there. Instead of being content with an "I'm really not sure on this guy" answer, we force all of our recruiting guru's to make quasi-educated guesses as though knowing every single thing about every single kid is a job requirement.
The info we receive would be of much higher quality if we were able to accept "I don't know"'s from all around. Pete still provided an extraordinary amount of startlingly accurate information this year, and deserves some major props for it. And I don't kiss anybodies *** around here, I'm a very critical dude in general (as far as my online persona is concerned), so if I'm giving compliments they are **** well **** I believe to be true.
