Sweet Jesus that is not what I said. I didn't berate him for not giving us a damn name. I didn't go after him for a source. Heck I didn't even question if what he was saying is true, because it clearly is, it's the staffs job to be exploring all possibilities at this time, and the fact this kid is from Florida (a place we have had great success recruiting people) makes it extremely believable that this could be playing out behind the scenes.
The only thing i asked is why say literally nothing? If you cant give us any info at the time (which what he said is pretty close to nothing) why not simply wait until you are comfortable being able to say more? That's all I said, and Bauer got defensive instead of answering the question. Actually I'm not so sure some of the people 'jumping to his defense' aren't more pissed off about what I said than Bauer himself.
I get that information is exciting, especially given the struggles of football and basketball this year, but just because I had an opinion that wasn't "OMGZ you have some inside info you are amazing!" People are pissed off.
Bauer has done some exceptional work getting us tidbits before as well as many other board members in the know (of which I am most certainly not). They can say things as they please and have earned the rights of credibility and decency from people on here and don't deserve a huge chunk of the "do they have sources?" debates they deal with. All I asked was why give us basically nothing now instead of waiting until there is something to give?
Perhaps I could have sidestepped all the drama and BS if I had just said 'when can you tell us more?' I still wouldn't have gotten a real answer, but at least I wouldn't be being attacked for a simple question.
