I get it, everyone loves to have their piece of intel and have their day in the sun, its what I do for a living.
All I'm saying, its also to report to the boss that with the known statements that we have, its entirely possible that USC was the choice even if it directly contradicts a data point.
Well, and here's the thing: a number of us posters have mentioned that we are talking about the statements of 17 and 18 year old jocks. They could be being honest, they could be trolling, they could be nervous in interviews, and they could have their parents have a huge say later.
As far as the Crystal Ball predictions, I would say that, for example, when like a million of them pop up all at once for Chuck Filliaga to go to Michigan, he's probably going to Michigan. In the case of Darnay Holmes, Joseph Lewis, and Greg Johnson, where the predictions are USC and N mostly, who freakin' knows what they'll decide to do at the last minute when they announce.
