Hawkcentral article

McCaffery added two players to the incoming recruiting class in the spring when high school senior forward Melsahn Basabe and junior college point guard Bryce Cartwright signed letters of intent with Iowa.


Come on, Pat, shore it up a little. Cartwright did not sign a letter of intent, he decided on Iowa after the signing period. Bryce signed a tender, which is completely different than an NLI.
 
Stormin: He didn't write "national letter of intent," just "letter of intent." Could argue that is the practical function of a tender." But more importantly, kind of seems like a bit of a red herring to focus on that little detail which seems pretty immaterial to the tone of the overall article.

It's what I do best. I'll go ahead and be "that guy" for this article.

I see your point, of course.

The article is not good, when there is an error of that magnitude from the beginning, it is a downer. The rest of the article did nothing for me, but make me wonder why it was written. There was no need to mention Uthoff and any high school rivalries. Also, why was there no mention of any other possible recruits.
 
I'm surprised to read that Lick wasn't recruiting Uthoff considering that was the style of play he preferred.

The article seemed fine and relevant with the fact one kid made a decision to go elsewhere, other has a decision coming, and recuiting speculation is going on. People need to write something this time of year. If they guy isn't a fan favorite, so be it.
