We still in the tank moved up from 116th to 114th with a few commits our list is not exactly right though...I keep hearing how Lunsford, Cabral and Sloan are some recruiting guru's but it has not shown up yet we are still three spots down nationally since the CL hire. If you are located in the State of GA and cant recruit better than where we are at you suck at recruiting as shown by GaSt being in the 80's. Troy still on track to be first and land in the 70's nationally if they sign a full class and maintain the quality that is a knocking on P5 territory.

your board doesn't allow recruiting threads? weird. what the heck do you talk about during the offseason lol

On gsufans all recruiting threads are behind a pay wall on the site. Send E22 fifty dollars a year and you can get access all the inside information at Georgia Southern.

paid insider info is one thing. JCGSU indicated that you can't even create a thread to discuss recruiting? that is kind of a bummer...but it's a private website so he can do whatever he wants

I've run my board for 20 years having it both out in the open and behind a pay wall over the course of those 20 years. Twitter has changed the recruiting content, and IMO along with it the perception of what insider information even really is. To be truthful, while I get a lot of true insider information I probably post about 5% or less of it because when you really get trusted with it they generally don't want you sharing it, and I am NOT referring to coaches ... I'm talking about administration and executive level information. I also live 2 hours away from Statesboro, and while I have a pretty good level of being tapped in I don't pretend I know what every recruit had for breakfast or their favorite role model.

I'm also 50 years old. I don't spend much time tracking down what 17 and 18 year olds are doing. Didn't do it much at 30 when I started the site, and I had even better information. I might follow a few on Twitter but I don't interact beyond maybe a retweet or a 'like'.

It's not money that has driven the recruiting discussion behind the pay wall, it is primarily due to folks who can't follow simple instructions on following our minimal guidelines. The arguing and negative public discourse that transpired in our public recruiting forums over star ratings and recruit viability relative to our scheme, is what drove it out of the public realm. Now that it is behind our subscriber wall, it is significantly more tame and my moderator team is a happier bunch.

Yes for some reason folks that think recruit rankings and team rankings are crap and if the coach likes a kid then that is all they need cant seem to keep themselves from posting in threads about that subject they think is meaningless, including mods. I hate the endless flexbone threads so I stay out of them, dont know why grown adults could not do the same concerning recruiting threads Not a problem at all on here or other sites, being 114th in the country is bad and so was last year. Some just want to stick their fingers in their ears and cant stand calling a spade a spade on this subject. Nobody talked about individual players in the last thread or any thread other than they committed or signed yet it got moved, if we were 88th in the country like GaSt is I have a feeling some mods would let it ride. Said it since 2001, your board your call as usual, the end.
