FWIW (probably not much), have to disagree with you in part. Earlier in this same thread I pointed out that last year, credible FSU outlets had chastised him on X for plagiarizing their work. I seem to recall (could be wrong, but I don't think I am) only pointing that fact out in this thread, not on X, but he somehow caught wind of my criticism and blocked me in addition to the FSU outlets that pointed out his plagiarism. So I'm currently blocked by him on X. I wonder if he ever lurks on here; we have a pretty well-organized, well-known realignment thread, and publicly-available board here, so he may be fishing for people with similar interests and punishing those (like me) who criticize him.

That said, I'm always happy to see third parties speak favorably of USF, and I agree that he's a third party with no known vested interest in USF. He may end up being correct with respect to many of his assertions. I'm just not sure he's actually credible, despite his near-constant posts on realignment. Seems more like someone who has a significant following, and knows he has to throw us some raw meat now and then to keep that following and his status as a "go-to" X account for realignment news. He also seems willing to plagiarize from credible accounts to keep the content coming, which undermines his credibility in my eyes. 

He openly admitted that he took information from Warchant, and referred people to Warchant back when things were heating up there.  His sources are in the B1G, and he was right about most of the B1G stuff - he posted about USC and UCLA moving a couple of months before it happened... same with Oregon and Washington when the B1G changed their mind and invited them as the Pac 12 was falling apart.   So I give him some benefit of the doubt when it comes to B1G realignment.

Plus, it's the internet, everyone plagiarizes.  Right?  HA!

You go hard for UCF on a USF board while having no UCF connection, it’s not that deep and would be pretty simple for anyone else to track…

I made it clear a long time ago that I was in Oviedo(actually winter springs) as a kid but then moved in with my aunt literally walking distance to usf as a teen.  I’m allowed to like what they do over there, it’s a different place than when I was a kid

I think I said that back in 1999.

Understood. Not to belabor the point, but if he was as open with them as you say, I see no reason why they would have posted the following. All I did was repost what they alleged (because lots of USF folks seem interested in what he has to say about realignment), and he blocked me for it.

So I’m not a big fan of his, notwithstanding his kind words for USF, but I don’t begrudge anyone for keeping track of what he has to say. To the contrary, I like coming on here and seeing what I otherwise can no longer see on X. Just suggesting a little caution.
