At least maybe I'm not the rookie here anymore.
I had to learn the hard way.

I'll give you a clue...try making the 2000th post in this thread.

That'll learn you.

Dallas is the resident old timer and keeper of the "x000th" post count. It's a superstition thing

Not exactly. These "experts" don't do "recruiting" for a living, they sell subscriptions and advertising to gullible fanatics for a living. That means they publish a large amount of unsubstantiated bull shite from unnamed sources. Plus, they manipulate the rankings, so that as top recruits commit and become less exciting, uncommitted recruits conveniently move up the ranks to keep the paying suckers on the hook. Never changes.

After spending decades studying trends, I'm definitely a hard core cynic. Pretty sure I'm just a bit ahead of the curve though and cynicism will be a lot more common in the near future.

I'll try to avoid doing that. Hopefully we'll keep the recent momentum going.

And the way they sell those subscriptions is by providing information that is reliable and by making predictions that are correct. If they make up stories that are false and make predictions that are incorrect more often than not, they lose their credibility and, thus, subscribers. They have incentive to be as correct as possible.

Unlike fans that post made up stories on fansites like this one. I hope you can see the difference between the two.

I used to think that things worked that way too. Finally, I realized that people prefer pleasant lies to unpleasant reality, even when the future consequences of ignoring the facts are grim. As it pertains to recruiting services, selling hope with a nice facade of questionable data is extremely effective for long periods.

Not really when it's easy to see if these guys just throw shite out there or actually have a good hit rate on projections.

He wasn't expected to be, was he? May be a good thing he's wishing he was there...?

No sarcasm there, just a glass-half-full approach
