Meta: Recruiting Discussion

I want to address a trend I've noticed on TKP with regard to discussing recruiting. There are a few TKPers who post nothing more than information absorbed from elsewhere on the interwebs (usually from sources behind a paywall). There is a difference between using various pieces of information as the building blocks for a new point or unique perspective, and regurgitating it at every chance in every thread. It's not a direct copy and paste job (as outlawed by the Community Guidelines), but it's not value added. Please stop doing this.

I don't know if these folks feel empowered pretending to be the smartest person in the room, or they're just trying to pass along information. In either event, it doesn't foster a conversation among the majority of TKP's community because it's a one-sided dialog by its nature. (Those without access to the information at-hand are in the dark and are listening more than participating.)

Please have those conversations at their point of origin.

TKP covers recruiting by interviewing Virginia Tech targets, their coaches, attending camps, and letting y'all know about commitments as soon as they happen. This is extensive coverage, but not all encompassing. If you want a caffeine drip of recruiting updates, then pay for a recruiting service to keep you up to date. They will get you from Point A to B (Tech's targets to who commits and signs) much like TKP, but with a bunch more stops (some of which are inane) in between.
