Dude on GC that everybody is praising as knowing it all said that some things have changed since last night...it will still be a good NSG though. He said Cowart and Davis not coming to UF now.

Maybe this will change again over night lol

How can there be "buzz" and "new info" about these kids if they've gone dark - shut off their Tweeterers and Facebooks, etc.? Do any of these guys have the real dope - or is it all conjecture? (except Williston, of course).

Real question - not snark.


The "buzz" is a blogger wanting clicks. The "new info" is second hand (imaginary?) information for which he cannot give up his source (voices in his head) and which he can then lay blame upon these sources if false, or take credit himself for inside information if true. Bottom line, you are right that there isn't anything new and the only buzz is media trying to get attention in a dead period.

I think it's just a byproduct of social media. The players have family and close friends they talk to, and as we all know in this day and age, virtually NOTHING stays a secret. Cousins talk, aunts and uncles talk, friends of relatives talk, etc. And nearly all of these folks are on some sort of social media, so stuff leaks. People throw hints on facebook or instagram or twitter, hints become rumors, rumors become speculation and places like this end up with 15 threads on recruiting and 10,000 posts. The circle of life.

someone post a link, or a twitter statement or something.... those of us with broken tweeters need to know.
