First off, articles are not a unique entity like chats and premium message boards are considered. We have been following this policy for a long while now so maybe you need to pay more attention instead of asking us to be more consistent. Also, my PMs do work so next time we can handle this privately instead of in the public eye.

As most of you are aware, the cost of a premium subscription to Bucknuts, BSB, or any other recruiting site includes access not only to articles written by the staff, but also to premium message boards and "chats" which are open only to the paying members and staff. Thus, anything which is posted on a premium message board or "chat", even if it originates from a poster and not a paid staff member, is "paid" information, and we do not allow any such information to be re-posted over here. It is our belief (and policy) that premium message posts are not "news" (see below) because they contain either "opinion", or facts which are not intended for general release (i.e., "proprietary information").

Premium article summaries are different from message board posts in that a brief review of an article constitutes the publication of "news" - because no one owns the news, it can be reposted here, or anywhere. However, we do not allow quotes from premium articles, or summaries of the author's opinions, as such items go beyond "news" and become "proprietary information", which of course is owned by the publisher (BN, BSB, etc.).

We trust that all of you understand this policy, and can abide by it. Of course, the mods and admins will be vigilant in deleting "proprietary" material, but those posters who repeatedly "poach" premium information from any other site will be warned and/or banned.

I've actually pulled him off of my hotlist on scout. I realize that he's going to cater to whoever interviews him. With that in mind Bucknuts and BSB need to start calling him once a week.

Just seems like a hopeless cause. He seems too much like a UFlorida lock to me. If you grow up a devoted fan of a program and you have a shot at going there and making a difference in the style of play you'd like then you should go there.

It does seem like it will be an uphill battle for Thompson and I agree if a kid has grown up liking a certain program he gets the opportunity, then that is what it is all about. They are getting a chance at their dream.
