    Here's the thing about sources with recruiting. ....

    • Everyone has them.
    • No sources are ever 100%
    • When you miss, you learn why. Then move on. You learn something from it. Hard to call that a miss.
    • The real skill is layering the sources. All sides. That's the best information.
    • If you're getting the information from one perspective on this, then it is more likely to be flawed.
    • This is just like writing a story. More sources on the angle of these decisions, the better.
    • The best source is the most obvious one. Hard to get, but is always the most reliable.
    • Best advice that those in the industry all know is true at the 11th hour: "If you don't know or have an idea, then he's probably going to sign somewhere else."
    • One of the most interesting things to do is to compare conflicting information from alternate sources. Where it is different? Why it is different? When did things change? There is usually always a cause-and-effect trail there.

    Jeff, there was a recruiting study published by a woman (can't recall the university) earlier this year or late last year. You should try and look it up. My aging brain cannot remember the details around how many players she tracked, however what I do recall is that she followed them from the start of their first scholarship offer through to Signing Day. She reviewed all publicly written articles and interviews about the recruit. Her findings showed that the success rate of predictions (over 85% correct) was attributed to Twitter posts. She was able to determine where a recruit was leaning based on "tell" language in the players Tweets. She found a common thread with the majority of players and categorized the Twitter language to give her the best odds of predicting where they'd go.

    Essentially, if you want to know where a 5* is going to college, follow their Twitter feed. If she was on this forum, she'd admit that guys like Clay Webb are virtually impossible to predict accurately, because they're so private about the process.

    Yeah, there's always those 15% that are a real PITA to predict.

    Who are you on the Rant? I assume you’re over there since you’re dropping AD’s name.

    I stay low-key over there. Well, pretty much here too, but if I've posted there it's not more than a handful of times. I lurk on a lot of different places.

    Not many folks here know about AD or his success rate.

    @brentwilson they’re starting to become our biggest rival, if they aren’t already. On the field and off the field it’s a battle for the top spot in recruiting and in the final standings.

    FYI, that’s not Laguna. Different dude altogether, but LG1 is considered gold on 247 from what I’ve gathered...

    Might as well just listen to @SoFL_Dawg as opposed to Guna. Lots of similar info there. LG1 is a different source altogether as far as I can tell.
