Do we have any idea who the guy who keeps breaking news @heard_it_first0 is on Twitter. At first I thought it was a kid posting forum rumors on X, but he’s for sure beaten those allegations at this point with the amount of news he’s been the first to break. He’s clearly somebody with inside sources, but some of the huge news he’s broken like the Calhoun hire make me think he’s extremely connected to the program. Any guesses on who it could be.

It’s probably the evil version of SLB.

For those in need of a visual aid:

Heard it first was not first on Calhoun. This is his first tweet, on April 13. About 2 weeks after Calhoun was hired.



But your main point still stands - he's been pretty reliable. And while 22 generally has the info first, he doesn't have the same anonymity this guy does. As such, HIF can tweet every rumor he hears. Whereas 22 waits until its verified, or in the case of commitments he usually waits until player posts the info first.

Did he break it on his old account? For some reason I believe he’s the one that broke it. Anybody remember? I could be wrong.

It's also interesting because he is sometimes first, but about half the time he is about a week late. Sometimes he beats 22, and sometimes he gets beat by Kyle Goon. Which tells me that he has different sources than 22, and maybe not as closely connected as you might think. Certainly has good sources.

I will take all the insider scoop I can get.

You might be thinking of GoGoSportsBall or whatever it was, which was also very early if not first on Danny Sprinkle, if I remember correctly. Also, I can't find that GoGo account anymore, so maybe HeardItFirst and GoGo are the same?

22's wife! She keeps scooping him.

I asked her to please stop and she just laughed at me.

That’s not what she was laughing at.

I agree, I'll take all the insider scoop I can get, but usually if I hear from anyone other than 22, I wait for him to validate or confirm the scoop and then know it's more truth than rumor.
