Message: [QUOTE="tep624, post: 1291659, member: 430"] Well...when the article was originally published four months ago, Shafer couldn't comment on it directly because coaches can't comment on specific players that are unsigned during the recruiting cycle. So yes, it was one-sided when it was published, and it was a one-sided story that painted the program and the staff in a bad light, because Bailey ran with the recruit's side of things and no one on the staff could go on record to confirm or deny it. Again he can ask whatever the hell he wants when he wants to, but it's going to affect his ability to cover the team. And personally I'd rather be able to read articles that give us some insider insight than just regurgitations of stuff that is public domain on scout and rivals, assumptions on what the staff is doing during the recruiting cycle based on what recruits are saying, and interviews with recruits that the recruiting sites already do.
