Interesting Buster Avis threads

You always have to take things on forums, particularly about recruiting with a grain of salt, but his comments and perspective make for a good read. Does anyone here have an opinion about this guy?
Maybe I'm crazy, but I found myself wishing there was an email address for him so I could invite him to post over here.
And an out of place voice of reason;

--edit--
"voice of reason" isn't a rip on the Buster character, just relative to the general insanity that's going on everywhere over the Fred Davis drama.

Housteau contacted Avis via email some way, but I don't think he would want to post here (low traffic) and I could do without him. I think he does have some inside scoop, but I also know he has alot of BS in there. Why in the world would Xavier Lee do the thingss he accused him of? Absolutely no motive there.

Yea, I checked out these posts and don't now what to make of them. "Buster" is really playing up the brainwash affect that XL supposedly has over Fred Davis. I can't really beleive this to be true. I would think that Fred's family and his coach would have more of an influence on him than a guy he's known for such a short period of time, but who knows?
All of us really want this kid, no doubt about it. I've read ramblings about WR NOT being a need position. Maybe I've been smoking the wrong cigarettes, but where I sit I see Holmes, Hall, and Childress. That's it! Davis would likely get PT here next year.

Buster Avis must be a Columbus thing. I truly have
never read anything of his. After reading those two
links, I can honestly say I will never read anything of
his again. That was just too much instant bonding for
me.

I've read the Buster Avis posts with a grain or two of salt. He's a very nice storyteller, and is interesting to read, but since no one knows who he is he doesn't have to be responsible for what he says. By his own admission, he's posted under several other names and been banned for some of what he's said in the past.
Personally, I think that anyone attempting to report undocumented news as fact should be willing to attach their real name to their work.
But I'll still read his posts.
EDIT: The Fred Davis insanity is out of control. My total sympathy is with him and with Coach Rios. People need to calm down a little when they follow recruiting. Look at what might be happening with Johnson at Pitt. The kid might actually end up recinding his verbal because of the way he's been attacked. You would think OSU fans would have learned from the Irizzary situation last year.

I have enjoyed reading Busta's write ups. He seems to know his stuff, whether it's true or not is another story.......I seem to think it is. It all makes a lot of sense when you look at how this whole thing has unfolded to this point. I think that he may sensationalize some aspects a little too strong, but he sure does make for a good read.

I actually just posted his name under the "Never Welcome" thread. This guy has an active imagiation. Sounds like some info might be true but then he ads more info just to make it more interesting. Someone also said on BN that he's been banned before under different names on the OZone. I'm not sure what to make of the guy..... I guess we'll just have to wait and see if his stories are true.
