Good News For James Clark Fans

[be3585]

Looks like he is starting to get on the right track. Here is a direct quote from one of the wiseman (on rivals there is a insider named 'nevadabuck' and he has 4 'wiseman' that have a ton of inside information). "James Clark is really rounding into form. At the beginning of fall camp I would have bet that he was almost certainly a total write off. Now I see him at almost 100% and slowly but surely making play after play in practice. Really fun to watch him out there, as this guy is a locker room favorite---and one of the most popular guys on the team---so everyone is rooting for him"

Hope this is true but I wouldn't trust much of what nevadabuck has to say. He's a known tool with a lot of drama. Reminds me of GB a lot. His inside info dried up years ago. Rivals is not keeping him on much longer.

Rivals has added hundreds of paid subscribers in the last week since he was added to the staff. People (including me) sure didn't join because of Kirk Barton or Ross Fulton.

John Talman is the guy in charge of team sites for Rivals.

Congrats to @osuatrivals … fastest growing site at Rivals in the last week, month and now for all of 2015.

As for NB's inside info drying up, LOL.
= He had info from Saturday's scrimmage that was closed to the media, including actual grades for players.
= He had info on suspensions for the VT game a week before it came out anywhere, and his information was the source here and elsewhere before it was announced.
= The OSU coaches were calling HIM an hour before Terelle Pryor committed, asking, "Are you SURE he is coming to OSU?"
= He said in April before anyone else that OSU would have one guy in the 2015 class not qualify academically.
= He had the real story on Mike Mitchell leaving OSU well before anyone else.

He's also been wrong on things. Most of the time, it revolves around recruiting, silent commits that he coaches think they have and a kid just changes his mind. He is opinionated and doesn't know as much as he thinks. Oh, and he is good friends with Colin Cowherd, who I think is a tool.

NB can be kind of an azzhat when people disagree with him and is an acquired taste in that regard but he brings info that I haven't seen anywhere else. Some of it never comes to public knowledge unless someone paying for the site he is on goes to another message board to spread the word.

One can argue that what he shares isn't worth the 10 bucks a month, but I find it entertaining and informative.

I got my sites mixed up. NB was with Bucknuts and Scout but Scout didn't renew him. He went to Rivals with Barton. I'm not on Scout now but the guys I know who are on there love the fact he is gone.

His info at one time was solid because he was close to the Brewster family. He says he's friends with Archie but he tried to play that card regarding Tressel and Meyer too. His dad is a booster. His dad and Archie were once business owners so that relationship is believable. Since Brewster left his info has been sketchy at best but he pretends he still has some power left. He admitted to doing things with players in the past that would be violations. I heard that story aboutbPryor was proven to be just that...a story. Just like GB if you ever questioned him or his knowledge you found yourself suspended.

The dude may get a small nugget from time to time these days but I would take anythig the guy posts with a grain of salt.

Wow, speaking of GB, maybe he was Tiger's friend! Ever since the ESPN board died, Tiger's game has gone to HELL!

Cancelled my Scout account today. It expires on the 21st so I am still watching over there for a couple more days. Yesterday they ran a special - $9.95 for the rest of the year; when I called today they offered me 3 months free to stay. There is nothing there to pay for any more. Virtually everything posted by the Scout guys parrots what is on 11W for free.


The place is a ghost town. The big "scoops" today were a link to an article on ESPN about Buckeye players knowing the pitfalls of repeating and a link to an article on MSN about how MoC has turned his life around.

People may be happy he's gone, but they are going to be really lonely.

LOL, now the same people who were clamoring for NB to be gone are whining that there are no practice detail thread (like he used to post). The last thread they started was deleted by the mods.

Hilarious. "Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it."

"Question for staff...
8:57 PM

I had posted a thread last night that got deleted. Just wonder why? I don't think anything was wrong with it, and I've been here for over a decade and it's never happened.

I'm simply asking when can we get the Scout version of practice details? This is the first year that I remember not seeing them. Why isn't someone covering it? When we could enjoy Bank v Nevada takes, it was great... like the odd couple for the complete picture. It would be nice to continue to be able to have that same balance. And even just get info to scout only folks.

If this gets deleted, can someone at least PM me?

Thanks"

I don't care one way or another. I'm not a fan or a hater. I just have some close buddies that think the guy is a complete tool. His practice stuff might be nice, but the other drama (making up connections, banning you for no reason, playing complete guessing game with recruiting guarantees, among other things) wasn't worth the few nuggets he provided.

Like I said, from what I have heard he is a GB clone. Who knows maybe they are the same guy. When GB said he was leaving the ESPN boards he said he could be found on other boards and we'd be able to tell who he was.

[cwerph]

Honestly have no idea who GB is.

GoBucks from the ESPN boards. I forget who was over there and who wasn't. Anybody that was there knows who he was. You don't ever want to be compared to him. Bar none the biggest tool I have come across on a message board.

Natchamp gave him a run for his money.

I think he was a troll on a level that Cincy is a troll.

He would say inflammatory things, makes ludicrous statements, and was completely unwilling to have a logical discussion of things, but I think he TRULY believed what he said.

At least GB would link OSU stories
