Which is like quoting the free board.

SBNation and Bleacherreport aren't news sites, no matter how much they pay to be listed in google queries. They are random posters dressed up in fancy clothes.

my dog can post a better write up...true story

I know you are painting with a broad brush, and I tend to think you are more correct for recruiting info, but there are legitimate things on SB nation. Rob Neyer in baseball for instance.

There are good free board posters too. They earn their rep on their contributions not Google placement and website tomfoolery .

Scout $ - Tuesday Morning Recruiting Update

1/15

By The Bank.....Says he isn't surprised about the recent WR offers, as Ohio State wants to add playmakers to this class. Doesn't believe anything has changed regarding Vonn Bell & Ohio State is definitely in the game. Also believes there are two, possibly three, spots left in the 2013 class.

Ideally, I think this staff wants to finish with a WR and an OT, plus save a spot for Bell on NLOID should he happen to choose OSU. It will be a very interesting finish though because I have no clue who will pull the trigger at those spots...grades are really the big thing, as I think Gibson would have committed awhile ago if they were in order. I would like to finish Skipper, Clark, and Bell but that might be a tad unrealistic. My best guess at this point is Hunt and C. Smith at this point, while banking the 'ship that Bell (whom I am guessing Bama on) would have taken. I would like to see us grab both two WRs instead of banking the 'ship (I'm thinking CornElder and Smith) but NLOID might be a bit late for that...hopefully Bell lets us know earlier than that.

With the flurry of offers and the Gibson WVU commitment, I see it like this:

1) The coaches would take 3 if it's any combo of Wilson, Bell, Hunt/Skipper, or Clark/Smith...if possible to land those 3. Not sure how the Robinson twins play into this, but I doubt we get much of a serious look this late in the game with almost zero involvement leading up to today.

2) My ideal prediction: Bell, Wilson, and Skipper. Bell and Wilson are the best players on the board and would be absolute homeruns. I love Hunt and he is a more complete product right now, but I like Skipper's upside more and his ability to play RT. To me, Lisle is a RT prospect or possibly a guard and Hunt has an almost identical skill set. On the other hand, Dodson and Decker could easily play LT, so perhaps adding 2 RT types wouldn't be such a bad thing. I could go either way on Hunt/Skipper though. Clark is easily interchangeable but I'm not sure I would take him over Wilson, plus we really need another tackle so I wouldn't take him over Hunt/Skipper.

3) My actual prediction: We get Wilson, Hunt, and Smith (yes, I am optimistic...especially on Wilson and Hunt now). Bell to Bama, Hunt commits over Skipper with Kelly now gone, and Clark goes elsewhere. Gives us another huge playmaker that UFM has loved from Day 1 in Wilson, gives us a great tackle prospect in Hunt that nobody saw coming until recently, and a very good pure WR, which I would still love to see in the form of Smith or Clark. If that finish indeed transpires...yikes what a class. And from interviews, UFM said who comes in now determines whether this is a good class or great class. I think this finish or one similar is a GREAT class.
