I am not a fan of Zags and never have been and do not trust his information. Has nothing to do with this recruitment. Never has, probably never will. You can dismiss me for that fact, but that's how I feel about him and I know lots of people who feel that way. He covers the NYC area and plays to his audience. I do not believe he has a different source I think he was just parroting Jerry or his source was. Again I get why you would dismiss my opinion and think me I get that and don't mind.
The posting of Telep's response was pointing out New information on Kyle that hadn't posted here yet. I was accused of not posting information that wasn't positive for Georgetown. I say so what? And pointed out something that hadn't been posted here yet and was not 100% pro St. John's as a joke. Hence the smiley face.
My point was Jerry's article does not have quotes that say UCLA and St. John's lead he stated it and that is his opinion. It's not really different from Telep. Telep is obviously hearing things from multiple sources as well. He just points out that various sources are saying various things. You dismissing Telep's comments is no different than other fans dismissing things that don't jive with their outlook.
Florida's 247 board has posted a lot of stuff from their mods about how good of a position Florida is in. I don't see many people anywhere outside that board discussing their comments and sources.
I guess I don't get what the big deal is about fans cherry picking information? Why is that an issue? Why do you care? It doesn't hurt anyone. Fans like to focus on the positives.
As long as all 5 are on the list still getting visits still getting 2 more visits (1 on campus; 1 in home) based on the latest articles. So despite the various sources that are saying different things everyone still has a shot. If fan bases choose to focus on the positive rather than the negative that is their prerogative. Most of the news out there is positive about St. John's. I admit St. John's appears very well situated. So it's hard to know how St. John's fans would react and if they'd post every bit of negative news here.
Telep's info on yesterday wasn't exactly new. Seriously, he practically said the same thing verbatim back in July. Actually, I posted a link to Telep's blog on Anderson in July, but it's a premier (pay) blog. So, I can't dig it up. LOL
We talk about everything under the sun on here, whether it's positive or negative. Even moreso, when it's relating to St. John's men's basketball. We had gotten used to talking about the doom and gloom over the past several years, so many folks had gotten accustomed to it. Lately, it's been pretty positive, but we can mix it up on here, nonetheless.
It's not about someone caring or focusing on the positive rather than the negative. No need to attempt to fancify the situation. It boils down to dismissing info or not believing it when it doesn't fit your agenda, but believing it when it does. You see how that works?
Secondly, I know why you don't care for Zags. It's all good, dude! We know why you dismissed it.... No offense, but it fits your agenda.
