Any time they mention a kid coming from Missouri, they always talk about "we hear that Tennessee and Oklahoma are in the running," almost like there is no D1 school in state that they're likely also considering. When a kid goes to visit Tennessee, all of the crystal ball predictions assume that it'll be Tennessee, even if they've visited como like 6 times before Tennessee even thought to consider a kid from the show me state. It's just remarkable and I don't even know why I try to get recruiting news from other websites (Great work Sean and Gabe, btw, love your ish). I know the answer is "cause we don't get clicks" but essentially some of these people are helping schools with their own recruiting by promoting their brand and ignoring others. It drives me nuts.

Anyway, complaining over. Also hi, I'm new here, but not to the love/hate relationship we all find ourselves in.

*Edit* I'm sure Gabe and Sean are friends with some of these folks so if I'm not being fair please correct me. I'm probably not being fair but I'm heated.
