Are these articles any type of recruiting violation? I hope you have looked into this already, if not please do so.

You are getting better, but William Prince says don't be trashing the WC Vikings...

Thanks

Who is William Prince and How would these articles be recruiting violations. Do you ask these other guys if their interviews so please give it a rest. It's getting old. How did I diss Warren Central.

The "other" guys are professionals and are vetted through our compliance department. I've seen it at least twice in the recent past where a fan decided to start a recruiting blog and in the process committed violations. As much as you are trying to pass yourself off as a professional journalist, you are still doing a lot of things that appear to be the opposite of that. So yes, I think it is perfectly reasonable to ask you if you have at least contacted our compliance department to learn what you need to do in order to avoid unknowingly committing violations for which MSU will have to account.

Well the site I work for is a newspaper now. So, we had a plan to move to print the whole time. I didn't even talk to recruits for a while, but it was necessary content. Recruits family and friends enjoys being able to read about them without having to pay so don't lose sight of that. I worked with a recruiting guy for two years you think I didn't learn about violations. I've interviewed Bracky and he's talked about violations. I interview kids and move on. I'm not a Yancy Porter who stalks kids. I could care less where these kids go. So, No I don't like answering a question every time I post a recruit article about if it's a violation for me to interview them.<div>

From the sound of your response you haven't thought twice about it. It's a legit question & I thought the same thing myself when I saw the articles today.</p>

Congrats on backsliding into a dead medium! I'm beginning to seriously question your business plan.

BTW, coming here and getting defensive, at all, is not going to help you, at all.

I've followed MSU since middle school, but I'm not some homer who never is critical of MSU. I've interviewed three none MSU commits and never once asked about MSU. So, what do you mean by bias.<div>
</div><div>Sorry if some don't agree me with my opinion on Tyler Russell or Cam Lawrence because that is the only thing I could think of that some people bring up.

I don't own the paper I just write.

as I'm not going to hate on a guy for trying to realize his dreams and all. However, if you are going to become so goddamned defensive because someone asks a reasonable question in a reasonable manner then its going to be hard for me to take you seriously.<div>
</div><div>You show up like a stranger in the night and start pimping a blog targeted for MSU football fans. A blog that is so riddled with spelling, grammatical, and factual errors that folks wonder if it is just a joke. And this isn't one or two times... No. You repeatedly post every single goddamned article on here like this is your own personal reddit. Hell, those ******** hawking Ed Hardy and Affliction shirts spam the board less than you do. I can't recall the last time Marcello or Locke came on here hot-linking their articles. Hell, not even that scam artist Wardlaw does it and he's had to rebuild his business at least three times from the ground up. How the 17 are we suppose to know that you intern for two years with a recruiting site? Also, I could give a 17 if you stalk 17 year old kids or not - as long as your stalking doesn't violate NCAA rules have at it. Also, just because you pay a print shop to put your rag on paper doesn't make you a legitimate operation just the same as me recording a podcast doesn't mean I can claim to work in radio.</div><div>
</div><div>All that being said, I hope you turn out to be successful. However, you need to realize that the way you are going about it is certainly going to lead to a lot of folks questioning your qualifications.</div><div>

Jerry Little messes up the WCHS mascot, and in berating him for screwing that up, Fish can't get the compliance guy right. Classic.

but when you can't even type a post on here without numerous grammatical errors, it doesn't lend much credence to you being taken as a professional writer/journalist.

I really think this clown could be making recruiting violations when he interviews these guys...

William got called out several times in an Earth Science class I had with him at State, good guy...
I think he just put on a little too much weight to be the tailback and JWS tried to make him into a Fullback..
He had some good stats and games for us while in S-Vegas.. 500 yards and 6 TD's in 91.
He got a shot with the Browns and got hurt..
