IUCrazy2 Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Kansas says they want him and are pushing hard and the commenters think Kansas is the big dog here and why wouldn't a kid commit and so that leads people like Bossi to say they are in the driver's seat. They think in the hierarchy that Kansas>Indiana. I lay money he doesn't know sh*t. At least no more than any of us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bluegrassIU Posted May 5, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 My sources are telling me that IU is putting a lot of effort into Mgbako this weekend, and they hope he chooses IU.

They are wrong as much as they are right, but we still tune in. 😂 I've always said that the problem with most insiders is that they're almost always connected to the program, not the recruit. So for the most part they can only give you a sense of what the coaching staff thinks, but not what's actually going on inside the head of the recruit. So I always take anything they say with a hearty dose of salt... 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than any 247 guy. It is probably someone like Goodman posting under a burner account. with that, fyi, there was more than him saying there is something going on with Love. That he hasn’t actually signed yet which is odd. So it does make it a legit question he was posing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Initial79 Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) Genuine question for all that think every guy never knows anything. Does that apply to just Twitter guys, Instagram etc. or do you believe the Rabby’s or each respective team? What about so called insiders that post here? I am asking because I get it if you say you don’t believe any of them. But what makes someone legit in your book if you believe some? fyi… the Kansas 247 guy is the one who started Kansas belief that it is over Edited May 5, 2023 by Initial79 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just view recruiting as fluid, so until the recruit himself declares or commits it all remains relative. And I never expect anyone to be right every time. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what makes someone legit in your book if you believe some? fyi… the Kansas 247 guy is the one who started Kansas belief that it is over Truthfully, I think it's because a lot of people are lazy. They want others to do the work for them. It's not always quick and easy to corroborate information, so by default, the loudest voice is often accepted, whether it's fair/truthful or not. One news report, one tweet, one story read on an uncle's Facebook page, and it's given the ultimate respect and held as gospel. A good journalist will research and dig, trying to make sure there are substantive truths to the claims presented. Often times it takes multiple sources to confirm the validity of something reported. It takes a LOT of time and energy. There's no real system of checks and balances here... Large numbers of followers on Twitter/social media does not equate integrity and validity. SO, imho, it means taking many reports from multiple sources to become valid. If, and only when, those reports prove to be correct (or as close as possible) over an extended period of time, does that singular "source" become legit. If not, they are an outlier, and anyone can be that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IU Scott Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 As for who I would trust with I do are guys who actually work for a legit college basketball site. Even though a lot don't like him but guys like Jeff Goodman has connections. I also think a guy like John Rothstein is very well connected in the college basketball world. If I guy just starts a blog and is not associated with any real affiliate I won't buy what he is selling. I see a lot of people just putting out click bait but have no clue what is going on. What upsets me when the headline is trade rumors but all it is someone making up a trade that they think would be a good trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
