Well not for nothing, this author's shining example is a kid who was a top 20 NJ recruit with good offers, that's verifiable, but then the rest is all completely subjective.  He supposedly dominated at our camp but wasn't offered on the spot which is the usual for kids that dominate camps - dominated according to who?  His HS Coach?  His Mom?  And then we hear he played in 5 games as a freshman, with no context at all.  Why?  Because the context deflates the controversy.  Yes he played in 5 games, with no stats, for a 3-9 team.  There can be a number of reasons why young players play on bad teams and it isn't necessarily because they are *that* talented.

When people selectively decide what to and what not to report, it gives the appearance of an agenda.  That's why everything he reported on Raines I would hope an objective person takes with a grain of salt.

He would have been better off leaving this kid out of the article entirely because it's the typical he said/she said recruiting nonsense and focusing on what the NJ high school coaches are staying.  Stay away from the specific examples because that is often slanted subjectively.  Something like "I've never met Dino" from a significant NJ high school coach - that's something that's verifiable and it is a problem.  Dino should be physically meeting with prominent HS coaches in the Northeast.  It doesn't mean he has to text them all day long or whatever but he should have physically met these guys by now especially if they have been in their roles for years.
