Recruiting guru question

[Ishmael]

I don’t really follow recruiting beyond a few posts I see on here, but I know there are services people subscribe to that rank players and make predictions of where recruits will sign. So my question is, where do these recruiting gurus get their information about where a kid is likely to go? Surely they have some inside information because people pay them money, but they aren’t hanging out at high schools are they?

The Spirit sends an ambiguously gay field reporter into the restroom with the recruit to get the inside scoop!

They follow these kids on twitter, they interview them, and some have sources within the staff that leak info. 247 has 3 guys that cover recruiting and they still get scooped by twitter or message board posters half the time.

And, a lot of the time, they just make a wild *** guess and hope they're right.
