Chris wasn't saying that the OP was violating the Premium info policy, but rather following it very well. There's a reason for this optimism with no linkable sources, and it's because people are relaying the info from their premium subscriptions, but doing so in a vague enough way as to not violate the policy.

I've been reading the last few days about sure signs of Dee deciding on us. The writing is not only on the wall, its a mural pointing toward it. That means that as long as the city doesn't repaint the wall before May, we're golden. I don't mean to be mean, but if you're going out on a limb with this, Raback went out on a twig.

Raback claimed to have insider information, as he did in the past. I'm pretty sure that he knew that Dorsey was coming here 100% before he posted what he did. It was good info and I was thankful for it, but we don't need to keep giving him credit for the rest of eternity.

If true, I'll be the first to give a big middle finger to SEC-style "negative recruiting" practices. To Saban/Chizek, future FYI: Any player who actually cares about academics is not going to fall for your bullshit.

Based on previous recruiting history I'm pretty sure Saban knows what he is doing. I think he would know certain guys fall for negative recruiting, but I'm sure when he sees a guy like Dee and his family he is smart enough to recognize that negative recruiting would be a dis-service. EDIT: Though I agree it is sweet snagging a guy from ESS-EEE-CEE territory. Especially one as highly pursued as Dee Hart.

Maybe the legend Tom VH scooped this earlier in the week when he interviewed the guy's mom...etc. etc. Raback was calling his shot with some negative pressures against him. Your prediction is like calling for sunny days in May, future Tiger Woods wins in golf, Ben Roethlisberger (allegedly) being sexually inappropriate with women and the NBA having marijuana problems. Maybe try going out on a limb next time.
