I don't follow recruiting all that close, so I have never looked at the crystal ball predictions. Just happened to notice a tweet from the Yancy clown linking his crystal ball predictions for James Williams. I couldn't resist. Surprisingly, he is going against the common prediction of Williams signing with State. From what I could tell that was the only prediction that he has ever made. The other guy, Johnson, who picked Ole Miss has one of the lowest accuracy percentages. My question is: Have they hired Yancy as an expert picker since he has been so spot on with everything else lately?

Not sure what's going on with Yancy as of late but it appears someone on his

side or maybe his new bosses told him to take it down several notches.

Yancy works for Chuck who works for Scout.

Scout went bankrupt.

Scout was bought out of bankruptcy court by CBS Sports/247sports.

247 sports has a very precise civility clause for all employees.

= folks metaphorically waiting for Yancy at the office the first day for his first warning and last chance.

He will never make it with 247 for long. He can't help himself.

CBS, which owns 247, recently bought Scout.com.
Scout.com's infrastructure was merged to the 247 platform, thus the Scout.com writers now have the ability to make Crystal Ball selections.

He also said Williams unofficially visited OM last weekend and Williams' coach chimmed in saying that wasn't true. Ouch.

He initially said that Williams visited yesterday.

To which a bunch of State fans congratulated Coach Luke on his first recruiting infraction while in charge(dead period started Aug1).

"Last week" was the revision of the tweet.

I can already see the next SPS Magazine cover:

"Engie explains recruiting infractions to Matt Luke"

When they get around to a personal interview...he may be gone. Wearing a straight jacket into a job interview...not a good look.
