The Scott Eklund Reverse-jinx
Tard says Chico McClatcher is all Arizona - Chico to UW
Tard says Zeke Turner to Oklahoma - Zeke to UW
Previous examples of the Scott Eklund reverse-jinx
-Buttah Baker
-Nico Falah
-Eddie Vanderdoes
-Myles Jack
It is very, very, very important that we get Tard to predict Chris Warren to Texas

Kim would be better off if he had Forrest Gump working for him rather than Ektard.
I wish I remembered more names, because the list would be miles long. Myles Jack to UW. Keivarie Russell in the bag. The corner from here (can't remember his name) who committed to cal, in the bag. UW will get at least 1 of Banner and Garnett, then blamed it on Mike Cox. ASJ to Texas. Guy is just pathetic.
Moronic Doogman subscriber: "Hey Scott, where do you think 'blah blah' is going to go?"
eklund: "Honestly, I don't know. I can relay what recruits say, and provide some quotes, but I'm not going to make any predictions."
He would garner more respect (and not look like such a moron) if he just said that.
Long story short:
Eklund talks shit about Walker Williams for months on the Doogman boreds.
Williams commits to Wisconsin
Doogman subscribers say WDWHA
The rest of the 2012 in-state recruits say "Hey Sark, UW, and Dawgman - go fuck yourselves."
Kim blames his subscribers for what happened in 2012 after talking to "one of the staff members" - probably Sark.
Some of us have a twatter.
Look, I hate Eklund, Kim, Ruth, Lars Fatters, etc. as much as the next guy but unfortunately these recruiting sites are the only source to get info unless you want to wait til after signing day. It is what it is.
The only thing you're getting from scout.com are quotes from 17 and 18 year-olds.
BTW, even after a kid verbally commits, it's just a different type of bullshit until signing day.
Poster: Hey Scott, didn't you say Oregon State led a couple of days ago?
Fetters: That's because Oregon State did lead a couple of days ago!
Poster: But they aren't listed in McGary's top 3?
Fetters: This stuff happens all the time in recruiting. How long have you been following recruiting?
I put zero stock into what anyone from Dawgman says about what a recruit is thinking/doing/leaning/going. Those guys have proven themselves worthless a mole times over.
But at the same time, none of the shit matters until they a) give a verbal and b) send in their LOI.
The only other thing to take away from recruiting "in season" is that it provides a good barometer on how well the coaching staff is resonating with HS players and coaches. If you're struggling in recruiting, you're probably BS as a coach.
