March 29, 201313 yr See what happens when you rely on someone that steals info and don't have any connections of their own? No announcement today... Whose info did he steal?
March 29, 201313 yr Whose info did he steal? Usually the "stealing" involves Marc Maggard or someone associated with him because they have pay-only subscriptions to UK recruiting info. Not sure that's the case here, but that's what I often read & hear. The guy I thought was stealing info is not the one whose tweet Clizzy posted.
March 29, 201313 yr Seriously, how do these guys steal information? Do they put on a ninja suit with a flash light in their mouth and crawl through someones window and dig through their desk drawers? If they read it on the internet how is that stealing?
March 29, 201313 yr Seriously, how do these guys steal information? Do they put on a ninja suit with a flash light in their mouth and crawl through someones window and dig through their desk drawers? If they read it on the internet how is that stealing? If it's premium information that means you have to pay to access it. That's how Marc Maggard's site (among others, I'm sure) is set up in regards to UK recruiting.
March 29, 201313 yr Just read (Not stealing :sssh::lol2::lol2:) that Coach Cal has compared Hawkins to Eric Bledsoe.
March 30, 201313 yr If it's premium information that means you have to pay to access it. That's how Marc Maggard's site (among others, I'm sure) is set up in regards to UK recruiting. So if he paid to read it how is it stealing? I'm confused.
March 30, 201313 yr So if he paid to read it how is it stealing? I'm confused. Because he is passing it as information from his own sources which is a lie. That's like someone using info from ESPN insider and saying they have NFL sources or something like that.
March 30, 201313 yr So if he paid to read it how is it stealing? I'm confused. It's not stealing if he paid to read it & read it. But sharing it crosses the line.
March 30, 201313 yr It's not stealing if he paid to read it & read it. But sharing it crosses the line. So let me get this straight. He paid for information and then passed it along as his own information. The problem was the info he paid for was not accurate. So who's stealing agian? Looks to me like the real theif is the guy who charges for faulty information.

So who's stealing agian? Looks to me like the real theif is the guy who charges for faulty information. The guy accused of stealing here is not the one I was thinking of (as I said in Post #242). When you asked how "these guys" steal information, I was thinking of someone else & not this guy that got it wrong. I hope that makes sense. :lol2: Anyway, there is a guy I follow on Twitter who seems to be swiping information & repackaging it as his own.

So who's stealing agian? Looks to me like the real theif is the guy who charges for faulty information. Typically the idiots trying to pretend to be recruiting experts simply pay for subscriptions to all of the various team sites and try to pass off any info on those sites as their own. Some sites are a lot more accurate than others, so the level of info they steal is dependent on where it comes from. Problem is they muddy up the waters because the nature of stealing info is not crediting the source. And yes it is a hot button topic for me because when it happens on the UC side it takes hard earned money out of my pocket. It took years of effort to get to the level of info I have now, and to have it stolen and passed off by some idiot basically catfishing for Twitter followers damages my livelihood. If people choose to ignore the issue, it puts the guys who are actually connected out of business...

Is there any sort of benefit to having a lot of Twitter followers?
