Random non-paid posters (I'm counting Jeff in this) on a free-non-media-affiliated message board are KSU's primary source of basketball recruiting news. Is this weird or does this happen for other major conference fan bases?
strangely, i think it's actually the norm.
nu - all recruiting news broken by NE newspapers or by other fanbases.
isu - most news broken by mcdermott's nephew or a 16 year poster in eastern iowa, both on cyfan
mu - i think it's about 50:50 between dearmond's kid and tigerboard posters. regardless, nothing is believed until crazylegs confirms or denies.
ku - mascott gets at least as many SCOOPS as scout and rivals combined.
wsu - 95% tropshox.
ou - almost all ouhoops mods and posters.
