I am guilty of being critical of the program and at times the Coach, while commenting on the positives.  It’s a fan board so we vent and can be very critical when things aren’t going right. I doubt that we have as much influence in recruits being that they know we are fans, and they are given sound advice, criticism, pros and cons by well informed advisors.

What goes on here goes on at Duke, Kentucky and UConn fan sites. As winning programs, I’d say the criticism is worse as these programs get the pick of the litter each year and expectations are always very high.  Cal and the UK program was flogged badly for not winning enough during the years when he had a roster comprised every year of at least 5 top 30 players with at least 3 McDonald’s All Americans. Recruits didn’t run away when UK didn’t win championships, and when Cal didn’t get sho-ins into the NBA or caused them to transfer (from Dakari, Briscoe, Hagans, Quade, Justin Edwards, Harrison twins, Khalil Whitney).

Fan sites are a place for fans to vent and criticize and should not have a significant influence on a potential recruit.
