I wanted to start this thread before Malik announced because his decision does not change my sentiment. Buckaholic has been a wonderful addition to the basketball recruiting world. Great research and well thought out posts. His info on Malik has made it fun to follow this saga.
Because he has expressed a belief that Malik will choose OSU he will be either a Goat or a God come tomorrow (especially on Bnuts where the distinction between saying what might happen and what will happen is often lost). I hate to see the 'gurus' make predictions because they are just setting themselves up to be slammed. I love Duane Long because he does great assessments of talent and keeps in touch with the kids. He - like most gurus - gets in trouble because he then guesses what might happen. When he is wrong folks jump all over him like he is a fraud, not realizing that those 'predictions' are at best 1% of his contribution.
What I like best about Holic is that when he posts he not only tells you what he thinks but gives you the background info and logic to understand why he thinks it. If he is right about Malik you will be able to look at the info he has posted and see why he was right. But the same is true if he is wrong.
So thanks Holic. Hope you are right, but either way you are the man.
