George Campbell will also be BBQ'ing

Submitted by I Like Burgers on

TomVH just retweeted a Florida writer that said George Campbell will be at Michigan's BBQ this weekend, and not at Florida's Friday Night Lights event.

Commence the pants party.

So huge. Even if he doesn't end up picking Michigan. The exposure and family atomosphere is awesome. Nothing like hanging out at the Big House on a nice summer afternoon eating BBQ.

Just to keep people excited - Michigan has had zero consensus 5* football players sign their LOI since the Carr regime.  (Green was a 4* to 247)  We have a commitment from Peppers and strong interest from Hand, Fournette, and Campbell, as well as possible interest from Juju Smith.  Puts things into perspective...

getting Will and George Campbell confused in a post about George Campbell? Not to mention the post you were replying to had a list of current recruiting prospects along with Campbell's name.

What do those names have in common with George Campbell's name? Now think what those names have in common with Will Campbell's name. Not one of these things is doing its own thing. Not one of these things is on its own.

Bottles the mind.

I disagree, as I thought that poster meant Will Campbell as well. The post above said we haven't had any consensus 5 stars since the Carr regime, and I thought that poster was suggesting Will Campbell contradicted that statement. This is why one word posts are usually a bad idea.

but....

1 of those is a verbal and the other four are recruits. Just not seeing how that one gets confused with a former player.

Now I see what you're getting at. That one word "campbell?" reply. Your interpretation makes sense till you read the guy's next reply where he gets testy and asks why (Will) Campbell got lumped in with Hand and Fournette. That's where I'm coming from.

Just for perspective, there haven't been many consensus 5 stars to go around since the Carr era. Getting 4+ competing opinion sites to agree on something is pretty rare, lol. So yeah, Fournette and Campbell are good enough to do that then they're pretty special talents.

there seems to be a lot of confusion on this site as to what constitutes a consensus and what is unanimity. As a guy who has to sit on way too many committee's for work I can say there is a distinct difference between the two as you can reach a consensus without being unanimous. 

Unanimous means everyone agree with whatever is on the table while consensus essentiqlly means that "that might not be my first choice, or even my second or third...but I can live with that since everyone else is in agreement." 

Now it could be that the recruiting services have no real grasp of what consensus means so it has just spread to this site by people using the term the way the recruiting sites do, but unless these sites actually confer with one another and come to a consensus I think the term is being misused. 

I think what they should do is simply use the term unanimous as it leaves far less room for confusion as to how these recruiting sites are coming to this consensus.
