I think I'm done talking about this. When this thread was started, there was NO info available on CR's front page or any free info relating to who this was. If people want to screw with the system, go for it, but is it really worth it when it takes maybe a day to find out about this stuff anyways?

I agree with everyone that it is wrong to steal info from another site. Nobody here has ever promoted that - however, it is blatantly wrong to accuse Jeremy of doing that. Jeremy and one of the other site owners ban each other from each other's sites, so that's (a) impossible; and (b) insulting.

That being said - Paul is running a business as his (presumably) sole livelihood over there, and nobody should take away from that. There really is no reason for ANY competition between the goers of the two sites - the only ones who would even have any reason for competition/hatred are the owners.

I agree with you and if you truly believe in what you posted, you should delete this thread now.

Then it is obvious the info was inappropriately lifted from Cyclone Report Premuim site and this thread should be deleted now. As a moderator here you should take care of this and ban the person posting the so called hints.

Wow. This thread has been rather entertaining to say the least. I've never seen so many people get bent out of shape over maybe a $10 membership online? If you sit back and look at it, it's rather funny.

That's a little bit of a jump to conclusions, don't you think, Ed? Prove that it couldn't have possibly come from a legitimate source, and I'm with you. At this point, it's jsut speculation.

No, it is not a jump to conclusions. Cyclone Report broke the story and shortly thereafter, a certain poster here starts posting hints that could be found nowhere but CR. It is quite obvious where the information came from and the legit source is Cyclone Report.

Moderators - do the right thing and start deleting posts with information taken from premium boards on other sites.

One word/name...

Chizik.

I highly doubt we'll see any more 4 star guys for '07. Yet this was a great one to get of the guys left.

Why can't we still get alex cook? One of his teammates already committed and we have a huge need for him, he publicly said he likes us and he has to know who Chizik is since he played in Texas.

What this thread needs is some popcorn and a soda. Sit back and watch the people throw crap back and forth at each other.:baffled5wh:

I'll let that call be made by Jeremy. If Paul has a problem with it, I'm sure he'll contact him. In the meantime, take a pill, man. Sorry if your toes got stepped on. But, the world keeps on spinning.

Ed - I agree with you on this. I really do. But in the past, when we delete a thread like this, one existing thread such as this one balloons into 8 threads, three of which are people continuing to leak the info, and 5 others are about how it used to be so much better here in the old days when nobody deleted threads. Trust me, that one little bit of moderation explodes into an all out locking and deleting fest. The cats out of the bag now anyway, it's too late to stop it.

Not mad at all. Just think its funny that you guys spend time speculating on what is behind curtain #1 when for just a few bucks a month you could find out.

Furthermore I think it is funny that a couple of the posters were lamenting the fact that Jeremy wasn't here to get it for them. This is a parttime gig for him, the site not to be named is someone's full-time job. That is a big difference.

For what it is worth, I think a total free site like this has merit, particularly as a forum for discussion. I particularly liked the intramural thread. Got me thinking about the good old days.

Recruiting news, what with NCAA regulations and all is another matter. And stealing premium content from another site is just wrong.

Some of us need those few bucks to do things like eat or pay for books, or the most popular choice...beer.

It probably came from CR, I don't know because I do not visit that site. But I have a question. If the info on the other site came from a source inside the athletic department is that also illegal to post?

Yeah, since Paul Clark is the only one who speaks in the secret english code that our athletic department speak in, it must have come from him!

Sorry guys for missing the show, I just got home and have not been near a computer for a couple of hours.

Bass is the recent recommit and that comes from somebody close to the situation, not anywhere else.

As far as where the info came from that started this thread; I have asked in the past that all premium information from other sites stay on other sites. There aren't legal reasons for this but rather courtesy reasons. I don't have a membership at said site but I also respect the wishes of the sites agreement with it's members. It doesn't hurt or help me or this site to have outside info posted but I personally respect the wishes of other people, even if they don't always show the same restraint in return.

While I agree with those that say it's the internet and it's just like any other medium where info is freely exchanged, I also ask that you find other sources for information simply out of respect for what other people may use as their money-maker.

I'm not going to delete the thread now that things are very evident and freely posted numerous places but I do ask that people respect the agreements they have on all sites and with all parties as nobody wants to create a bad environment anywhere. Nobody can independently verify everything said or typed by everybody in every medium but that doesn't mean that we all shouldn't do our best to be honest and courteous to others and their products/services.

If you have something to share or post, please do. Just make sure you follow your own moral agreements and judgements.

I can tell you for certain, CR was not my only source. I also was able to verify it with someone in Ames who was not using CR as his source - within 30 minutes of the info being on CR.

Plus, it was announced on KXNO today, etc.

Paul Clark, Chris Williams, Jeremy - etc - are not the only individuals that know good sourced at ISU.

Those who made comments about Jeremy and Paul in this thread are a bit off base. And I feel bad for the mods who had to smooth over the situation after one of their own created the problem then had an attitude about it.

As far as the info coming from Paul, I believe he actually called the recruit and got the news. That being said, I would love to know how anyone else could have the same info as Paul unless it came from his site. For ISUFan22 who claims to have a source, fill everyone in on who it is. You certainly never had a source when you were on CR or CN.

For those who choose not to pay for CR or CN, it's your choice. But your choice also means that you cannot expect to receive the info from CR or CN here. And any attempt to do so just puts Jeremy in a bad situation.
