This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Nowhere near.

Case in point: Donovan Clingan

Articles written about his recruitment on the network sites: One, by Blue & Gold. No interview, mostly references from other network recruiting sites. I'd expect that from BGI because Lou Somogyi is a big hoops guy, but it still seems to be the bare minimum.

Mike Frank's site, OTOH, has two articles about him specifically, one of which has an interview with his coach about him. They also probably have the most comprehensive who-is-ND-recruiting article for the season. They're also much smaller with a lot fewer resources to bring to bear, so even if they want to cover hoops recruiting closely, they can't afford to.

Irish Illustrated, part of the 247 network, which has better recruiting info in general and plenty of national resources, hasn't written a damn thing about him or any other ND hoops recruit. As evidenced above, there's plenty of info out there, but we haven't heard dick from them.
