Nah, don't let us dictate that kind of stuff. We are only salty because we didn't get the gratification we were hoping for within the specified time period. Had it been the other way around we would all be doing back flips right now.

The clues are out there. No need to apologize just because a few people need it spelled out for them.

Amy had contributed to all the posts about Jalen Mayden this past month. Mayden has moved his commit day up to today and is going to commit to Baylor. I cracked to code!

I do take it a bit personal all things considered. Maybe I'm a little light on the trigger to address it, but our job is to provide value for a subscription.

I'll take note that the general consensus is to wait until the news is ready to be released before posting anything. It was my call to inform the board originally.
Obviously there are plenty of people who don't like the way it was handled, but there is a fine line and providing value and reacting to the news.
We definitely appreciate y'all putting this stuff out there, or at least I do. Just a bummer it has taken the full 24 and then some to be made public.

but this wouldn't make sense as we just offered a QB. That would be awkward if Mayden was set to commit, so that leaves me back at square 1. Apparently some people have been able to crack the code but are either too condescending or just want to keep the info to themselves! this is the board to let the speculation fly!dakjd90 said:

I wouldn't say that it is general consensus. It may not even be the vocal consensus. Hell, I like it. It hasn't come to fruition yet and that's fine by me. Still has me looking forward to finding out.Colt B. said:Machiavelli said:I understand the desire to be first with news, but this doesn't really count as telling us anything.

This is a message board, not a newspaper. No need to wait and report yesterday's news after it happens IMO.
You guys do an exceptional job with this board.

My thoughts. I enjoy knowing good news is coming. Amy, Colt and staff do a great job.
Totally agree.
"Sic em yesterday, sic em today, sic em forever"
Damned if you do ("I hate these cryptic posts with no information! Such a tease!"), damned if you don't (you told everyone on Twitter first for free before telling your paid subscribers!").
I appreciate the heads-up. Thanks!

I like the teases and rampant speculation. It produces some funny posts and so long as you keep it all in perspective (we're pretty much grown adults obsessing over the decisions of high school kids after all), it's really not a big deal if nothing comes to fruition or if the "big news" isn't quite as a big as you hoped or expected.
This site is fantastic - keep up the great work.

Personally, I think this board offers great value with its information...about recruits, coaching dynamics, practices, etc. I don't subscribe to get "breaking news", as social media makes breaking news a non-event. Heck, I have no problem with 365 tweeting news first, then posting here...my life isn't enriched by knowing something a few minutes before the rest of the world. And, posts like this thread aren't news...just innuendo that you know something.Colt B. said:I do take it a bit personal all things considered.

I suspect you mods feel that you need to tease it out there to enhance or validate your credibility with your subscribers. Not with me. I've never thought there was much value in "breaking news"...as the whole world has it immediately after. The value is in information...for me, at least.
Put me in the camp that has enjoyed this thread.
Some very entertaining posts.
As for the site, I have been thoroughly impressed. Being a football fanatic I look forward daily to the reports
from practice, the coaching interviews and recruiting info.
Everything else that is provided is gravy.

We've gotten 8 pages of posts about it and had some fun Colt, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.
Our site is an analog to the PT Barnum quote about fooling some of the people all the time etc.:
You can please some of the people all the time.
You can please all of the people some of the time.
You can't please all of the people all of the time.
Thanks for trying and for putting this particular item out there. The best laid plans of mice and men oft go astray (particularly when fueled by the decisions of 17-18 year old kids).

I had to correct my what seems to be my false assumption! I was also hoping those that said we can't put the pieces together can get over their smugness and self-importance and fill the rest of us apparent idiots in because I've followed this site for awhile and I don't get it. And I haven't heard any other theories yet lol

Thank you
I guess I am one of the guys you're talking about. Not trying to be smug...just trying to respect the mods' info. I figured if they wanted it spelled out they would do it themselves, but there was a reason they decided to drop hints instead. Could be wrong on that though.dakjd90 said:Toph said:dakjd90 said:but this wouldn't make sense as we just offered a QB.

You could be right. I saw it as "we will drop hints so hopefully somebody figured it out and says it and we can maintain our journalistic integrity because we didn't leak the information, they just found out" haha
