If you didn't already know, bOL (formerly of Rivals now at 247)....

Would talk the Rival evaluators into pumping up certain committed prospects and ones that were silent commits to SPuat. Barry Every (Rival's National Anaylst) basically got into it with a bammer on the Main Board. And basically stated that since bOL has moved over to Lucky's 247 recruiting website, prospect's will be evaluated properly and not pumped up by hype. Barry also stated, "I am personally glad BOL is gone. Dakota Ball is not a 4-star that is a fact. And do I need to bring up every kid that was signed that has been since run off the team. Are they all 4-stars?"

Basically bOL is a fucking joke, and the way they over hype their recruits is making the recruiting industry look bad.

Should we expect Tidesports or whatever it's called to be fair and balanced? I mean, still a bammer-run site, correct?

Actually they threatened the Analyst and I couldn't agree with you more.

It has been deleted before I could get the actual wording, but "Alabama_7105" basically accused Barry and the other anaylst of kicking them (bammers) while they're down, because of the Tornados. Are the bammers seriously using the Tornado card? Fucking Pathetic, quick guess..."Alabama_7105" wasn't affected that much by the Tornados. Also, he probably doesn't realize that cities, not named Tuscaloosa, have literally been wiped off the map.

Now the question is, does the loss of $15,000 cost Barry his job?

Loss of $15,000, is that what bOL is worth?

No, that is allegedly the estimated amount of memberships that were canceled from rivals yesterday. Not sure how true it is, but Every did make a few post last night completely recanting his statement.
