I browse his site when he does things on guys we are both after. You cannot sit here and tell me that he does not slant every single article to make it seem like A&M is the team to beat or right there with the lead team. As sure as shite the sun will come up every day he does this.
Now on the other hand, I like Perroni. Pretty much always have even when he was at TOS. His journalistic style is not like a fan and more of a give you the info straight kind of way.
The way Hamm tells his subscribers told you so or rubs it in their face when he is actually right about something and his obvious high opinion of himself like what he does is crucial to the world rubs me the wrong way. I think its great he turned a hobby into a career but he's not at the childrens hospital saving lives and he comes off like he thinks he is.
ETA: I shouldn't speak in absolutes. I do not read every article and did not mean to come off like I did. This is all from what I read which might only be about 20% of the things the guy writes.

quote:meh, he will say when a&m is out of it. He may say "a&m is recruiting him and they have a chance" or "he visited a&m, and he liked what he saw and a&m had a good visit" but compared to others, he is far from being the worst. I do agree that Perroni is better and that hamm is a huge douche, but he generally released the best a&m info

I subscribe, and I can tell you for certain this is not the case. I've seen plenty of times when Hamm has said that A&M was not leading for a player we wanted. I can certainly understand if you have based your opinion on what Hamm's written re: Speedy and Harris. Hamm is definitely a fan, and he gets excited about A&M doing well, but he does give his honest opinion. Even when Kenny Young texted him the night before signing day, saying that A&M was in the lead, Hamm didn't take it as proof A&M was going to get the signature. He actually said that it seemed as if Young was trying to create suspense.
Hamm can be pretty feisty on the board, and on twitter, but I've subscribed to Rivals, Scout, Texags, and 247, and Hamm has had the best, most accurate info of all of them.

Really isn't true. Just yesterday he changed his prediction on Jaylon Lane from A&M to OU.
You should also consider that A&M has been on a roll. It's really not strange that the school with the second best class is "the team to beat" or "right there with the lead team" for most of its priority recruits.
This perception of Hamm is more about opposing fan bases feeling frustrated with A&M's rise than anything else.
Hamm does have his faults, though. He's too emotional. He takes offense easily, and he sometimes lacks maturity. However his info is top notch.
