Remaining Committable Offers...

Listen, if you compiled the list from information you've found on free sites then leave it up. If you copied it from premium sites you needed to take it down. It's as simple as that. If you have access to a premium site you agree not to share it.
BTW, it seems like your list is simply those kids who claimed an offer from Tech who haven't committed elsewhere. That's not the same as a commitable offer list.

I really dont care. I'm not an insider on scout, I work here theres no reason to be an insider, I'm around it all. If you take info from their site that is premium and post it then I do think that is wrong.

I think getting info for free that other people have to pay for is yet one more reason Stingtalk > other boards.
I'm all for stealing info from pay sites. It's not like any of us were going to pay for it anyway, so they're not losing any revenue.

Then shut the hell up.
:laugher::laugher::laugher::laugher: Mustang,
Wheeeeeeeee, did you finally let'em get to you?
Don't feel too bad about it since it happens here all the time to others.
I for one appreciate your posts and the insight you provide whether it is relayed from other sites or just something you flat out knew to start with and wanted to share, I still appreciate it. I hope you don't let anyone here discourage you from posting in the future, just keep up the good work. We have men who are suffering from "male menopause" here just like anywhere else. So keep on keeping on.
I'll probably be in hot water over this reply but what the heck, as long as I've been married, I'm used to a little hot water. LOL))
Anyway, here is the ****ing list for anyone who still gives a ****. I removed players like Jarboe, Antonio Harper, Liguet, and B.J. Daniels because I am pretty sure that they don't hold offers from Tech. Also, I am not including the links, because quite frankly I am ready for this thread to die.

The only thing you're paying for with the insider sites is access to be the first to hear things. It's not worth it to me (even at $10/m) to find out stuff that will be out within hours or days.
The only thing I regret is that the Hive's chat room is for subscribers only - can they not have a room for regulars? RamblinReck said (when the Hive switched over to Scout) that nothing would change - if something was available for free access before, it would be available after.

For what I didn't do...However, my apologies for the coarse language and the singling you out. It was uncalled for and I apologize.

Well, there's a lot of unecessary banter going back and forth on this. First off, I used to be on the Insiders board back before I got booted from the Hive all together. I liked the Insiders Board because of the conversation, not because of the info on recruits, although I enjoyed that too. Now I just have a problem with paying a site who booted me off for voicing my contrarian opinion, when people who acted the same exact way but kissed Gailey's ass non-stop were given a free pass. There are more than one poster on the Hive who will flat out make personal insults and infer that your stupid if you say anything questioning Chan Gailey's direction of the team. They have been a part of that board for a long time, and only because they are pro-Gailey do they get away with it. I have no respect for that or the moderators on that board who constantly allow it.
The Insiders board, once you weed through the obvious dumbasses who won't ever question anything about GT's football program, has a lot of very knowledgable posters and participants who do not post on the main board. That was its value to me. To me the rankings of the board as far as overall intelligence levels of the fans when it comes to football went like this: Stingtalk with Insiders board about even, Rivals board, Hive main board, and Buzzoff. Although in my opinion Buzzoff has probably more intelligent posters on it than the Hive main board, their problem is, they have a lot more dumbasses too.
Anyway, I think what gtland was trying to say is that the Insiders board has a list (which they had last year too) that was called "commitable offers list". This list was not compiled from interviews with kids that SAID they had an offer. Those are inaccurate. Kind of like Josh Jarboe saying he has an offer when he doesn't.
The Insiders list is compiled by two guys who talk directly with the coaches and know each week, exactly who has an offer in hand from the GT staff. This list changes from week to week, because one guy who had an offer one week might not have it the next week because someone else committed and took his spot.
That information is privy to those who pay for it. If it turns up on this board, then yeah, part of me is happy to know the info, but I respect the fact that some else worked hard to get that info and got paid for their efforts.
So if Mustang's list is generated from what he can read for free on another site, then great. But if he is taking someone elses premium info and posting it over here, then I'm not going to scold him for it, because I want to read it. But I wouldn't do it, if it was me.
There's this kid who posts regularly on the Rivals premium board named "mikeiscool" who is obviously an excited young GT fan. God bless him for that. But he has a problem with taking information that the owner of the site specifically requests not to be spoken of and then posts it on the Hive mainboard. That's just wrong.
