I am always fascinated by these lists, especially when there’s an outlier or two. Like, what’s going on with Pacific?

Re: '20 NY SF - Sean Durugordon (Missouri > ???)
Say what you want about Musselman but he is a fantastic coach and recruiter. Arkansas nailed that hire. He has the second ranked recruiting class in the entire country for next year last I checked. Where Arkansas was when he took over, and where they are now is light years apart. He is one of the best coaches in all of college basketball. He was hired in April of 2019 to replace Mike Andersen, now at St. Johns and three years later has them in back to back sweet sixteens and has a top five recruiting class. I get he screwed us by not returning that game, but the guy can coach.

Sean hits his first basket about 1 hr 13 minutes in...
He moved well without the ball. Something we haven't seen in the last few years. Clearly very athletic. He played great D. I loved that he could go coast to coast and finish. He also hit his free throws. Yes, most of his shots were him hitting layups, but how many times did we complain about our wings and bigs missing bunnies? Overall I can see that he's raw, but a kid like Durugordon could be an immediate impact player on the defensive end and a monster if everything clicked on the offensive end.

Looks like Seton Hall was on him originally. Plus a Queens kid. So there must be a long solid relationship there. Great start if true.

Re: '20 NY SF - Sean Durugordon (Missouri > ???)
Would be a great start. Super athlete with really good size and big kid body on the wing. A guy who can guard multiple positions and will be really active on the packline. With Malik staying and possibly adding Sean -Coach will have good flexibility at the 3 and even going small with Malik at the 4. If this happens I really like this add and well done Coach Woodward. 42 two inch vertical sounds like another New Yorker- T. Bell!!!

He does have 3 years of eligibility left. Have to think he's either on his visit now or just left based on Iggy's post, but I haven't seen any definite timing about when the visit was, just "soon" as of this past SaturdayBillyboy78 wrote: ↑2 years ago He was supposed to visit.

Re: '20 NY SF - Sean Durugordon (Missouri > ???)
I will echo what others have said about Rhody Vault. Excellent original content but I wish he’d give it a rest in terms of breaking news. Seems to be clearly just reading tea leaves and then purporting to have the scoop to try to generate credibility. It’s a bad look. Just let the reporters do that stuff and keep putting out quality content. Build your follower base up that way and then maybe eventually people will come to you with stuff that they want to get out there.

Yup.... He is starting to get really annoying and I think a lot of KB members would agree. If indeed true that he didn't even know about this forum that's comical. I also do not buy that one bit. People are starting to call him out on Twitter and he doesn't seem to like that....

Yeah. I feel like he’s trying to be the first to announce everything. His content (interviews, other original content) is really good though.

Yup... My guess is we will have a lot of random surprise commits... I don't think Archie will let many leaks out. We have to be going after A LOT of talent right now. It will be so much fun as the new players trickle in. What a freaking fantastic time to be a Ram Fan.

I would agree with you if he was putting out content that was based of guesses just so he could say he was the first to leak something if he was right, however has he been wrong about any of the posts he’s put out yet? The Archie hire, some of the assistant coach hires. If Durugordon signs here I have no problem with his posts. If he claims to be the first person to break news and is actual right, more power to him. At the very least it gets me hyped up about the season.MTK4L wrote: ↑2 years ago Yup....

I would also criticize him more if there were multiple URI voices on twitter being loud. But there aren't. There are very few. We need more of him IMO. While his tact and timeliness could improve his effort is through the roof. The entirety of sports twitter is trying to scoop news he isn't doing anything out of the ordinary especially for someone trying to build a following and working within a very small base to launch from.

Re: '20 NY SF - Sean Durugordon (Missouri > ???)
He's functioning as an aggregator for his "news" stuff - I think that's what most people's issue is. It seems pretty clear that he's just seeing tweets from reporters and others, and not RT them or acknowledging that he's getting the information from there. I think aggregators are very useful - it's much easier to visit Verbal Commits a couple times a day, vs. maintaining 20+ links for recruiting information - but the best ones are upfront about where they're getting their information from. By not providing where he's getting the information from, RV is implying that he's doing the reporting himself, which is almost certainly false.DevRam wrote: ↑2 years agoI would agree with you if he was putting out content that was based of guesses just so he could say he was the first to leak something if he was right, however has he been wrong about any of the posts he’s put out yet?

Re: '20 NY SF - Sean Durugordon (Missouri > ???)
I have no problem with him reporting things. I just have a problem with him bragging that he was the first to report something and its not true. I can prove both the Archie, Kenny Johnson reports he claims he was the first to break is false. He needs to remember there is a lot of people attached to this program. Others have better connections then he does....DevRam wrote: ↑2 years agoI would agree with you if he was putting out content that was based of guesses just so he could say he was the first to leak something if he was right, however has he been wrong about any of the posts he’s put out yet?

Re: '20 NY SF - Sean Durugordon (Missouri > ???)
I don't think it's much more complicated than he is trying to build an audience on Twitter as quickly as possible. His interviews and video edits are great but they likely require hours of work and will result in a slow build bc the subject (Rhody hoops) is not a robust audience on twitter. Prob feels a few "breaking news" tweets can grow his audience much faster and attract other followers beyond Rhody fans (fans of other schools, coaches, etc etc). That's my guess.SGreenwell wrote: ↑2 years agoHe's functioning as an aggregator for his "news" stuff - I think that's what most people's issue is.

Re: '20 NY SF - Sean Durugordon (Missouri > ???)
I'm just glad we have someone like Rhody Vault period.
He can improve on his operations for sure, but before him we had no one covering recruiting or anything really.
I think he's a good thing and can help grow the fanbase by getting some more exposure out there.

Re: '20 NY SF - Sean Durugordon (Missouri > ???)
I know why he's doing it. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's going to backfire on him at some point if he continues along this route, but hey, he's young. He'll figure it out, or segue into something else. There isn't really a magic bullet to getting a following, outside of producing good, solid work over time, ideally on a regular schedule that allows the audience to build.bigappleram wrote: ↑2 years agoI don't think it's much more complicated than he is trying to build an audience on Twitter as quickly as possible.

Agreed on the right way to build. He's trying to cut some corners in that regard. But he's hardly the first.

It seems pretty clear that he's just seeing tweets from reporters and others, and not RT them or acknowledging that he's getting the information from there. I think aggregators are very useful - it's much easier to visit Verbal Commits a couple times a day, vs. maintaining 20+ links for recruiting information - but the best ones are upfront about where they're getting their information from. By not providing where he's getting the information from, RV is implying that he's doing the reporting himself, which is almost certainly false.

One could say it's easier for a new guy, with no professional reputation, to stick his neck out to be first. Goodman, Rothstein, Koch, Thamel all require a higher threshold be satisfied before they put their reputation on the line.
That said, the timeline supports Rhody Vault.

Oh I know... Blue Man could have posted something similar even earlier. That doesn't mean Goodman/Rothstein would need to credit Blue Man for the "Scoop".
Anyway, let's get Sean!

I find out things but can't post them here or on twitter bc I would lose my sources quickly. But I also can't claim to have broken something if I knew it but didn't make it public.
