The return of Gerry Hamilton

have read what you have written in quite a few places. though rivals had an article up which said he was leaning heavily towards texas for sometime. But have not seen him break any major football stories.
I know ketchum is an asshole and has dropped the ball quite a few times on stories; but he ends up getting some good stories and the rivals website is easy on the eye when compared to burnt orange beat.

should have read what i had written before i posted; my thoughts came out all half baked.

“i have read what you have written in quite a few places. But i have not yet seen GH break any major football stories. the ranking system for football recruits seems a little off on BOB; that might be because i have gotten used to the rivals system.

I think if Bobby Bragg ever invited me to play in a college fantasy football league, I would have to decline.

It’s easy. Burnt Orange Beat is a recruiting website. Orangebloods is a comedy website.

Actually, I should have said comedy (unintentional)

“And he looks like Lance Berkman.”

Yeah, yeah, I can see that…

Aren’t stories like this supposed to include the words “Special Advertising Section” at the top center of the page?

I signed up at BurntOrangeBeat.com because of Gerry.

98—it’s only fair to note that BOB has broken a number of stories already, such as the Will Muschamp as coach-in-waiting story and, most recently, the Tevin Mims commitment.

Hook ’em

Phenomenal news about Kabongo.
 
I’m completely blown away by what Barnes is doing in recruiting.

I don’t know much about Kabongo, but I have heard his jump shot referred to as ‘developing’ and his three point shooting as streaky.

Those are code words for not a great shooter.

Everything else I hear and what I have seen in pictures is that he is TJ Ford in Darren Collison’s body.

A couple of other points:

He plays for Danny Hurley at St. Benedicts, and he is supposedly a high basketball IQ kid. He should come out of that program with excellent fundamentals.

Last summer (the summer going into his sophomore year) he was impressive against the nation’s best at the Reebok Camp with other PG’s there like Brandon Knight, Kenny Boynton, and Abdul Gaddy.

I am not sure how you can take the position that they haven’t broken any football stories, 98. They’ve broken a ton in a short period of time, and then orangebloods will of course follow-up a bit later with vagueries.

The simple thing to understand on this is that GH and Bragg have relationships with both the football and basketball staffs and they’re well liked by both organizations. That isn’t true elsewhere. The better stories come from knowing what the coaches are doing.

FYI, they had the Kindle returning piece out about a week before anything positive on it popped up elsewhere.

At least you guys aren’t bitter towards OBs. Jeez.

“The two most important things in covering recruiting are accuracy and speed.”

I thought it was shilling for OU and …, wait, are there really two?

“It’s easy. Burnt Orange Beat is a recruiting website. Orangebloods is a comedy website.”

Unfortunately, both sites have a subscriber who goes by the name “echeese.” No amount of inside information is worth putting up with his shit, especially when one must pay to endure such nonsense.
