no, it was based off of the same info every other website had, minus the common courtesy and tact.

You know what? Chicken butt.
It's good to see that recruiting, those that follow recruiting, and those that report on it haven't changed.

I do not choose to discuss it

I'll go ahead and trust the first hand accounts of the situation from people who have proven themselves to be trustworthy and not the fools at Bucknuts who have proven themselves to be jokes... or their disciples with "connections".
Hearing a lie first hand from the liar doesn't make it any more credible.
I think a split is in order.

86,
Recant or face a censure.
Do you really think Sir William Kurelic would run the story without bonafides (ie football staffsource(s))?
If so you don't know Mr. Kurelic.
There isn't a more solid citizen in that industry.
And he is an advocate of OSU, who certainly wouldn't jepoardize OSU or his relationship with them

So why was the story retracted and 247 is no longer listing him as a commitment?-Because the family didn't want it to go public.
And why is the family upset as indicated by their reaction on twitter? -Because the family didn't want it to go public.
I submit your faux outrage is misguided.
If the family is upset, they should be upset at the football staffer(s) who leaked the news (if they indicated to said staff members to keep it on the dl).
These staffers should of kept their mouths closed or at least qualified their intel with a "let it come from the kid/family before you run with it".

This has always been my thought. Many have shared 86's view that it is all the news outlet's fault. If they get bonafide info from an insider who should have kept their mouth shut (because it was a silent verbal) then isn't the egg on the insider's face? I have no clue obviously. It just seems like the insider shouldn't have said anything or if they shared it as a "silent verbal" and asked the news outlet to keep quiet then of course it's the reporter's problem.

I think there are 3 possibilities for what happened here:
1.) Bucknuts observed the cheering and hugging that every other site did at the camp (which I will say is likely a commit) and ran with it as proof of a commitment in an effort to get the story first. The commitment story contained no quotes from the player or his high schools coaches or anything of substance except Kurelic's anonymous "sources".
2.) Holmes did commit to the staff, and the staff leaked it to Bucknuts and the other sites but told them to sit on it until the kid was ready to announce. All other sites obeyed by this, but Bucknuts decided to run it anyways. As evidenced by Jalyn and his mother's tweets, neither were ready.
3.) Holmes did commit to the staff, and the coaches leaked it exclusively to Bucknuts and told them to run with it. The kid wasn't ready, and the staff screwed up by giving the green light to Bucknuts.
So 2 of these 3 options make Bucknuts look extremely unprofessional, and one (the last one) seems very, very unlikely given that the staff would be risking their entire relationship with the kid just to give Bill Kurelic a scoop.
(My guess is Door #1)

Good breakdown.
#3 is the correct answer.
Obviously there are certain football staff members that will be on the business end of thourough reaming from UFM.
Steele your supposition is wrong. Not all sites had or ever have the exact same information/sources.
Look I don't have time for this and I have too much respect for this site to go all "Scout Free Board" on you.
But just trust Diddy in this instance.
