Hamm... More like BANNED from Texags.. Working there..?
Yes, he was offered a job to work at Texags. He chose instead to start Gigem247. Is that so hard to believe?

It's not hard to believe that he was once offered a job at TexAgs, but I find it hard to believe that his info is the best. He seems to put stuff out too fast sometimes, getting it wrong in the process. He is also in hot water with the football staff.
Billy can be a thin-skinned jerk, but his info is very reliable.

Liucci has the best contacts w/ the football staff, no doubt. So yes, he'll often have better info when it comes to things like position battles. But that often works against him in that he is extremely cautious about disseminating info.
Hamm is the best at developing relationships w/ recruits and their families, so he gets the story first and best on that score. He will give his opinion on a recruit if he thinks he's leaning a certain way, even if it's early. Sometimes recruits change their minds, and so consequently Hamm gets it wrong, but that's just the nature of the game. And as stated earlier, when Kenny Young texted him the night before signing day, saying "It feels like A&M, man," Hamm didn't just go with that to make his subscribers happy. He felt Young was trying to build tension, and he said as much.
I'm not saying Hamm is perfect, or that Liucci's service is worthless. And I've got no personal beef w/ Liucci or the mods at Texags. I've never been banned or even had so much as a post modded. I'm just saying I've had subs to both, and think Hamm's service is better for what I want.

Why is that hard to believe? There's a reason Texags actively tries to bring Hamm/247 down and not the other way around. I find that hilarious because I wouldnt even consider them direct competitors...completely different product.

He has some unusual tactics, that's for sure.

I've made it obvious hamm is a good friend of mine so I don't give a frick what you cocksuckers think about this post. He's not in hot water with the staff. They blow up his phone constantly that's why he's always first to break news. You ****s say he's wrong for putting news out too quick? What the hell has Hamm been wrong on? He called Speedy. Broke Yates to Boise. Broke Joseph to A&M ...Called DSG to Boise too. He always has the scoop. frick everyone is wrong now and then. Sonny and Shea looked like fools on their 5 for 5 call didn't they?
Posted on 3/20/14 at 11:54 am to KDSAG
Everyone was wrong about the 5 for 5 thing, moron.
Hamm went back on his opinion countless times regarding speedy
Sonny and Shea both had Speedy to Texas A&M

I'd like to break this thing down:
1.)"Everyone was wrong about the 5 for 5".
Sonny and Shea belong to the group, "everyone".
2.) Speedy was one of the recruits in "5 for 5".
3.) "Sonny and Shea both had Speedy to Texas A&M".
Since step 1 shows that Sonny and Shea were wrong about 5 for 5 and step 2 shows that Speedy was part of 5 for 5, then how could they simultaneously predict Speedy's landing spot correctly and be wrong about 5 for 5?
And while they might have flipped their predictions less than a week before the all star game, im fairly certain they had speedy to LSU the entire year before that...Oh you mean Sonny and Shea changed their mind? (

Recruiting is very fluid and if youre going to cover it year long, especially with high profile recruits that are torn between several schools, you're not going to be able to make a prediction 11 months early and expect everything to stay the same. Coaches leave, poor/good results on the field etc.

This is just wrong. Hamm said he felt it would either be 2 for 5 or 5 for 5. He hedged because he said he was hearing 5 for 5 from LSU sources, but 2 for 5 from other schools' sources. Sonny and Shea waffled between 4for5 and 5for5, but ended up saying 5for5 the day of the announcement. They got late info from their LSU sources saying 5for5, went with it, and got burned. And Shea specifically said 2for5 would shock him. That's why they faced a mini-revolt on their site when things fell through.
Don't take my word for it, though. Read the Live Under Armour thread for yourself:

It's been reported over and over and over again, by multiple trustworthy sources, that his site had their credentials pulled. Hamm reported the SEC thing was a done deal right before the Baylor threat if lawsuit, and Billy said, "it's not done."
Posted on 3/20/14 at 1:45 pm to Hugh McElroy
Hey dumb frick that was Tarp not Hamm ^^^
And I know for a fact that Billy liucci lied about the credentials because Hamm whoops his arse consistently. Muff chin is the biggest piece of shite in the industry

If his site has had their credentials pulled, how are they able to offer practice videos?

I don't know what he said about the SEC move, as I wasn't on there at the time, but Hop's sources at Scout said the whole time that the Baylor threat was a speed bump only. And Hop was the best of ALL of them on realignment. Baylor was never going to be able to stop the move, just as no other legal challenges have been able to stop any other school from moving. If Liucci said the deal wasn't done, as in it could still fall apart, then I think that's another example of him being too cautious.

I might be confusing Tarp and Hamm over the credentials thing. Billy was clearly the winner of realignment, and I don't even like the guy. Hamm jumped the gun.
If folks like the above poster are friends of Hamm, he makes poor choices of friends.

I might have confused Tarp and Hamm. I apologize for that. But you're a damned liar, and vindictive, and seem like an overall piece of shite. Are you really friends with Hamm? Is he as big of a jackass as you are?

He said something along the lines of, "it's not done, and the Baylor thing could slow things down. It's almost certain to happen, but it's not done. There are still potential lawsuit and legislature obstacles."
