That was Rivals.
Then On3 clearly didn’t get the memo early in the afternoon on Barney.
I’ll keep it very honest and frank. Miami missed on Barney, no way of spinning that.
We had two guys out there last weekend and this was the feeling and what everyone in the building was told coming out of the weekend, that Barney would be committing to Miami.
I don’t get into the hedging game or play both sides of the fence and only share what I get told from the horses mouth. A lot of people were told Miami, this catches a lot of people by surprise too. Anyone who tells you that they knew he was going to Nebraska that is around the football program and close enough to it, they’re lying to you.
I checked after the commit. Even the national guys who get fed the info from the local guys (I used to work for the services) were putting out Miami. Quite a few Nebraska guys put Miami too. No way to spin it, we got duped.Your last sentence is a major red flag/concern.Our side got caught for surprise yet the people covering Nebraska knew they had him.We're getting played and have no clue until it's too late.
Didn't mean you Geo,I meant our coaching staff.I checked after the commit. Even the national guys who get fed the info from the local guys (I used to work for the services) were putting out Miami. Quite a few Nebraska guys put Miami too. No way to spin it, we got duped.
I don’t like hedging but we did mention before anyone even said a thing about Schmo heading elsewhere, that he was trending away from Miami on Thursday around 8PM. Miami even felt good about that one up until the day before, check around because we weren’t the only ones who said it either.6/29 - Barney will be a Cane. Miss
6/27 - schmo will commit. Miss
Geo there’s been a few too many losses piling up schmo Barney and kids to OU. Hopefully not both Odom and Mitchell. This is starting to get pretty concerningI don’t like hedging but we did mention before anyone even said a thing about Schmo heading elsewhere, that he was trending away from Miami on Thursday around 8PM. Miami even felt good about that one up until the day before, check around because we weren’t the only ones who said it either.
Not trying to get in defense mode, but even I am a little concerned because things are not matching up with what people in the circle are getting told.
So our coaches are ******* idiots and have no feel for this class?I don’t like hedging but we did mention before anyone even said a thing about Schmo heading elsewhere, that he was trending away from Miami on Thursday around 8PM.

It seems that way. And to be clear, I trust our insiders are giving the info they can in the true form it is being presented to them, so this isn't on them. I just think the people handing them the info are either out of touch or straight delusional.Yepper. They're getting fed **** sandwiches by their "sources". Have been for months.

There have been some requests to create a thread to list the predictions of @Geo305 on Twitter Spaces and public tweets
Criteria for the predictions:
- These are predictions that are measurable
- These are predictions that I heard in the space. There are quite likely some I missed.
- Multiple predictions can't include the same commit but with different time durations. If that happens, its a push.

And if you can't be honest with yourself, you're not going to be honest with me.
Can you give an example of what sunshine pump means? Everyone and their mothers, including Barney, knew he was going to Miami. You weren’t being misled. It’s recruiting in the NIL era.I’m not giving any of our “insiders” a hard time. I’m thankful for your post and the content you provide. My thing is just don’t feed me a load of bull**** to sunshine pump. Give it to us straight is all I ask.
