Interesting call out. Call out Franchise for making a guess based on AH4's silence, make your own guess based on silence.
Let's see if it works out for you!
My thing is, there's never been smoke for Miami with PS2 or Campbell. We all know since day 1 the only smoke for PS2 was for LSU. Until what, a month ago, when [MENTION=5124]Coach Macho[/MENTION] came with news that maybe Surtain wasn't completely sold on Orgeron and LSU. And that maybe momma Surtain fine *** wasn't totally on board with sending her baby out of state.
Then with Campbell, as I've said before, #sauces and "insiders" linked him to Clemson, Ohio State and UGA, but never Miami. Never been smoke around his recruitment with Miami.
Exactly. What gets me is not that people on here are hoping that we land Surtain and/or Campbell, but rather are operating under the assumption that we're going to land at least 1 of them. Crootin' is crazy, anything can happen, but there is absolutely no evidence that we lead for either Surtain or Campbell and plenty chatter that other schools lead for them and will land them. Crystal balls, sources, and insider news aren't perfect, but they're correct more often than not. All point away from us right now, except for the esteemed Sileo Jr. of course.
That's great, but crystal balls and other guesses are based on information that the people guessing have acquired. The problem with that in the case of AH4 is that they have played this so close to the vest that there is really no credible information on which the crystal guessers can base their guesses.
It's actually not that great, for us anyway. But I agree with you to a certain extent. Obviously the cases in which more info is held close to the vest and not let out increases the chance of insiders getting it wrong. They still have alternative sources of information, like coaches' impressions, etc.
We'll see if the crystal guessers were correct.
