Yet, when I questioned then if he was truly a 5-star recruit (and got blasted for it by UM fans), I was an idiot. Now, flash forward to 5/21/14 (just 5 months later), Campbell's stock has taken a significant hit. So who was right? All the Michigan totting hippies who said he was a 5-star recruit back in Dec. 2013, or the guy who questioned whether Campbell truly was a 5-star recruit and now that more film & scouting has come out re: the kid, now major recruiting services are starting to drop him. Hmmmm?
You seemed confident Campbell was a 5-star in December (i.e., you believed he was a 5-star). Now, you don't seem so confident (i.e., now, it sounds like you do not believe anymore that he's a 5-star).
Can something really be "100% FACT" if not even a half-a-year later an assertion no longer holds true? Yes, Campbell at the time was rated as a 5-star prospect by a recruiting service; doesn't mean he is/was truly a 5-star recruit. If that same services calls a banana an orange, is it a banana or is it an orange? What if later they call it a banana? Was it ever really an orange?
@WebFire - Never go full retard.
You have gone full retard.
I didn't seem confident/not confident back in December. I stated a fact, dumbass. I really don't care how he's rated because he isn't going to Michigan. He could've moved up to #1, or dropped out of the top 100, and I wouldn't have a feeling either way. I said he was a 5-star recruit, which was a fact. Then I said I was surprised he dropped like he did, because most recruiting services billed him as the next big thing at WR, which is why they rated him a 5* in the first place.
As for your banana/orange statement, you might be the dumbest person ever.
Let's try an experiment.
Let's say you're our George Campbell, and when the OC began, we rated you as one of the 10 best posters on the site. Now that we've had time to evaluate you, we all realize you're a dbag. Does that mean that at one point in time you were not rated as a top 10 poster? Does it? No, it doesn't. There are facts behind the statement that GC was a 5-star recruit, as rated by Rivals.
