I know you're still good friends with Rob, but this is below the belt to try to get hits on the site...

What exactly are you objecting to? I do see a couple of leading headlines (eg: "Wilson Heading to Iowa," which links to a story behind the paywall of a Flint, Mich., hoops recruit taking an official visit to Iowa next month) which is what you do when you try to get people to pay for content.
 
Slightly misleading, but I don't see why that is an issue. Could have been worse, like when he threw KF under the bus for the attrition and loses early this year.

Which article was this?

I think some have turned Rob into something he isn't. If I had the budget, I'd hire him back in a second
 
This is how a successful business works. It makes people want to read the article, thus pay to join his site. Economics 101. I see no problems with it as the headline is true, and it makes you want to read it. However, there is a mistake in the first line using "spend" instead of "spent". And how does this hit below the belt exactly? Don't get it.

I like Rob...and wanted to kick Perault's a$$ for pulling that junk on him last year. I don't like misleading headlines...it would be like you posting one a month ago saying "Greg Davis Coming to Iowa"...to have coffee with Ferentz and to talk about the job.

Even after that really lame/unprofessional/childish Twitter episode he had with Rodney Coe just like.. a month back?

It brings hits to the site...it doesn't make anyone buy a subscription as he tells you what's up without having to do that.
 
its a bit misleading as Wilson committed to Marquette, and in its present form considering signing day is fast approaching. there is a very big difference between saying he is "Headed" to Iowa vs "Visiting" when you are discussing recruits

Link please. I don't see Marquette listed as a team interested and my google search yielded nothing on that?

It was a while back when he said the program was going down the wrong path and mentioned the attrition and something about time for a change. I can't remember, it was a few months back.

Shane you totally hooked me into this thread.

Yep. He really did..

The D-Bag comment was the hook.

Shane IMO that was a low blow calling him a D-Bag over an article headline. I've never called anyone I like a D-Bag.. You wrote "I like Rob...and wanted to kick Perault's a$$ for pulling that junk on him last year".

Prd...I'm not going to get into a semantics argument...the move was a d-bag move...I didn't say "Thanks for not being a D-Bag like Rob How"...

I'm not a big fan of misleading headlines, either.
