Boggles my mind why folks on here are so block headed at times.   Some of the posters who were making predictions on Noel's decision have very good sources and are right much of the time on the matters that are within those sources' control.
 
   A recruiting decision coming from a kid is not one of the things that is within those sources' control.    Jake or AC could very well be reporting word for word what their source (JB for that matter) believed to be the situation at the time it was being reported and it could have turned out to be wrong because (a) the source was mislead by Noel to begin with, (b) Noel literally changed his mind multiple times so information was correct at the time it was reported but changed after it was reported or (c)  the flow of information was slow and was correct as far as the source knew at the time it was reported, but in reality was no longer correct at the time it was being reported.    I assume noone on this board was getting their information directly from Noel so as we saw it was always subject to being incorrect.  
 
   Some recruits make a slow deliberate study of their choices and once they narrow down they are certain and don't waiver, others don't truly know what they want and are subject to changing their minds depending on who talks to them last.    Seems to me that reporting on the second type is kind of like reporting the score of a football game before the final horn sounds.   You may know what the score is at the moment, you have an idea how much time there is before its final, but you don't know whether the score will hold up or change before it goes final....in Noel's case the score appears as though it changed multiple times late in the fourth quarter.
