Is Isaiah Hole an Insider/Worth following? (Ed: Yes)
[Ed-Seth: I changed the title of this thread because it originally mentioned a notorious hack, and having both names in the same sentence does a disservice to Isaiah Hole. The short answer is Yes, Isaiah usually knows what he's talking about and is worth a follow because he has independent sources that nobody else gets. Original post follows]
Over the past couple of weeks I've been listening to these guys. Do you guys consider them good sources for info. Also who would you consider the best insider for info.

I always wait until I've got Sam's balls to work with.
December 17th, 2018 at 12:35 PM ^
This sound sexual.
December 17th, 2018 at 12:57 PM ^
NTTAWWT
December 17th, 2018 at 1:39 PM ^
So is the question do you prefer Sam's balls versus only worrying about Hole?
December 17th, 2018 at 1:48 PM ^
I have no issues with Hole, I'm just saying that I don't really start to get excited until I see Sam's balls are blue.
December 17th, 2018 at 2:52 PM ^
Okay I got nothin.
December 17th, 2018 at 12:27 PM ^
Hole is good, but Yoder needs to permanently crawl into a hole.
December 17th, 2018 at 12:31 PM ^
This is 100% accurate.
December 17th, 2018 at 12:33 PM ^
Shea, are you entering the draft?
December 17th, 2018 at 12:36 PM ^
Welcome back MK - good luck in the Peach Bowl. Great season and here's to hoping you come back for a senior year on the Heisman radar...
December 17th, 2018 at 12:37 PM ^
Don't know nothin' bout James Yoder....but Ted Yoder is pretty impressive on the hammered dulcimer
December 17th, 2018 at 12:39 PM ^
Hammerin' Ted - never climb into a hole, just keep on hammerin'
December 17th, 2018 at 1:12 PM ^
Intense.
December 17th, 2018 at 9:24 PM ^
I love me some hammered dulcimer
December 17th, 2018 at 12:42 PM ^
You should go pro... You would be the 1st pick in the draft
December 17th, 2018 at 12:52 PM ^
There you have it folks, Golden Corral does indeed have Wi-Fi.
December 17th, 2018 at 12:59 PM ^
I do get a kick out of the way you play this Marcus Ray persona. You have it done pretty well.
December 17th, 2018 at 1:08 PM ^
Fuck off fatass.
December 17th, 2018 at 12:51 PM ^
Good to have you back MK now that the regular season is over. Wasn't the same without you.
December 17th, 2018 at 1:09 PM ^
I'm in insider on, like, my opinions man
December 17th, 2018 at 12:30 PM ^
I've always considered Isaiah to be somewhat of an insider but not super plugged in like Sam Webb and others.
Yoder? Hahaha
December 17th, 2018 at 12:41 PM ^
To be fair to Yoder, it's difficult for the Amish to get "plugged in" anywhere ;)
December 17th, 2018 at 12:42 PM ^
This.
I think Isaiah was plugged quite well from his 247 days - think he will be less-so going forward as that doesn't seem to be his main focus at the new site.
December 17th, 2018 at 1:04 PM ^
Yeah Isaiah is shooting games and around AA so he's always around players/recruits and occasionally gets stuff that way. He got a scoop nobody else had on a visit (Keegan?) just by running into the guy. Doesn't seem like he's plugged in with Michigan or HS coaches.
Yoder is a fraud.
December 17th, 2018 at 12:32 PM ^
Less is More
December 17th, 2018 at 12:32 PM ^
Isaiah yes. Yoder no. And Yoder is also a genuine POS.
December 17th, 2018 at 12:34 PM ^
Nice try James.
December 17th, 2018 at 12:35 PM ^
THE_KNOWLEDGE
December 17th, 2018 at 12:35 PM ^
See i listen to yoder cuz I feel like he's just telling us what the premium sites are saying and taking credit for it.
December 17th, 2018 at 12:36 PM ^
I think Yoder will get a bad rep based on the fact that he is associated with ChatSports. But I think it would be naive to think that is a complete fake based on the fact that he has a pretty good "batting percentage" as of late with info.
I compare him to Gregg Hensen in the Harbaugh hire days.....Gregg is a clown, but his information / or sources were pretty spot in back then
December 17th, 2018 at 12:41 PM ^
What is Gregg doing these days besides his blog anyways ? I always thought he’d be a decent radio guy on espn 96.1 but he was such a certified jackass that people got sick of it and management correctly shitcanned his ass
December 17th, 2018 at 12:53 PM ^
You love when his opinions are censored right? How tolerant of you. Idiot
December 17th, 2018 at 12:44 PM ^
"Associated with" ChatSports??? He founded it, and involved in tons of shady stuff along the way, including faking emails on term sheets, from investors, attorneys, fake writers, etc. (Link)
He has no inside info that he's not getting from elsewhere, or making guesses on based on trying to read the tea leaves.
December 17th, 2018 at 12:59 PM ^
Ok, fair enough.......I don't have any "inside information" on the inside information that he claims to have. I didn't know that he founded chat sports. I was just basing it off of my own perception. Which is wrong.
December 17th, 2018 at 12:44 PM ^
What has he “hit” on?
December 17th, 2018 at 12:51 PM ^
Yoder comes across as a guy with a premium subscription who regurgitates stuff and claims to be an insider. I don't think he has ever been to a press conference, or spoken with a player or coach.
December 17th, 2018 at 2:02 PM ^
Yoder doesnt have a press pass or press credentials, so he definitely hasnt been to a press conference. For the same reason, it is highly unlikely that he has ever had an official conversation with anyone on the coaching staff.
However, he definitely has built relationships with guys going through the recruiting process, some of whom have ended up on the team and who he probably keeps contact with. He has even one on one conversations with Rashan Gary's mom on the record:
https://twitter.com/jamestyoder/status/1050525622928334849?lang=en
So he's definitely got *some* inside info, but his hype and ego are way way out in front of whatever amount of inside info he really gets.
I actually think his rumor roundups are pretty useful, as it saves me time from trolling through hours of message board posts, but when he starts pumping himself up as the top insider he gets pretty hard to take seriously.
December 17th, 2018 at 12:59 PM ^
Yoder IS Chat Sports. Of course he accepts the bad rap rep.
December 17th, 2018 at 1:47 PM ^
Yoder gets a bad rep because his reporting is plagiarism mixed with shit he just makes up. He *IS* Chat Sports, in the same way that Brian is MGoBlog. Yoder, under the alias Ace Williams, is the guy who made up the story about the 2007 team all being high for The Horror. The things he gets right are by stealing from insider message boards. Block him and remind others to block him. Supporting his unscrupulous behavior encourages others to try it.
Gregg Henson is a loud radio guy who was on the same email chain as a lot of us because a former player from the 1980s who was on a chain with a lot of other former players who hated Dave Brandon started BCC'ing all the journalists on his replies (myself included). Also he was talking to John Jansen, who'd been on the show a few times. While Henson overplayed his information, that was at least information that he came by on his own. They're not comparable.
December 17th, 2018 at 2:12 PM ^
Thanks for the info on Yoder. I mentioned his garbage YouTube channel on the Dax hill thread because it was so click baity and someone assumed I was Yoder, trying to get clicks, hahaha. I had never heard of chat sports before I saw 5 minutes of him trashing “blog boys” on his channel and claiming he was #1 for Michigan info, so I was generally inquisitive on who this clown was. Now I know and thank you for the info on him and his apparently fraud site. He reminded me of a total sparty douche bro to be honest.
December 17th, 2018 at 12:36 PM ^
Dear OP,
Why do you hate question marks?
Sincerely,

December 17th, 2018 at 12:40 PM ^
Cause I quit school in da 8th grade?
December 17th, 2018 at 12:43 PM ^
No, see, now that was a statement. No question mark needed there! :-D
December 17th, 2018 at 12:40 PM ^
Proll'y 'cuz they're faux mos.
December 17th, 2018 at 12:41 PM ^
He has Hoke in his user name. Do you need any more details?
December 17th, 2018 at 12:47 PM ^
I made that name when he was relevant. For God's sakes this is Mgoblog.
December 17th, 2018 at 12:51 PM ^
When fergodsakes was his point of relevancy?
December 17th, 2018 at 12:54 PM ^
2011 when he beat Ohio
December 17th, 2018 at 12:41 PM ^
