I went after this guy on twitter, pretty much told him this article was full of lies and misinformation. He asked me to point out the lies and misinformation. after I did, he went quiet on the subject.
I'll give you this...when you jump of the proverbial cliff you do so in style. Hell, a running start! 247Sports network is owned by a Bama fan. Yet, it's his recruiting analyst who set and determine rankings. Do site owners try to influence rankings? I'm sure they do. Heck, some do so publicly including LSU's Mike Scarborough. I recall Mike making a statement several years ago "if Saban is recruiting a DB he deserves a bump in rankings." I thought it was over the top then just as I do now. Now, getting to the point... I can't comment on what Tusk has or has not said. However, I can comment on the point you're grossly mistaken with the label of recruiting services being "run & adjusted by a Huge Bama booster."
@LSUMASTERMIND yeah I just checked the TL and saw the exchange. That dude is an asshat and I won't even click on the article. Heard it all before.
the sad part is people where co-signing his bullshit and they ran when I confronted them with the truth.
