Let me take a stab as this one from a different perspective.
Pete and this sites job is not to recruit players to the U. Their job is not to influence them to make a decision. Their personal opinion cannot cloud reporting objectively.
Their job (unpaid at that), is to get information about recruits, and their inclination of where they might go. Do interviews with them when available, and report off that, and what other sources are saying to us, the Canes fans, what they are hearing.
Now, does that mean they don't have personal feelings and want players to come? **** NO, they are Miami fans also; HOWEVER, they are not there to be fans of Miami, they are doing their jobs and report the facts.
If those facts come from some sources FANS may not like, again, that is not their place to determine. It is just to get the information and put it out in a professional reliable manner.
Now, to the point that Pete's sources are Drummond. That is only one person he may speaks with. I can again say I have seen with my own eyes recruits direct interaction with Pete. In addition, Pete does have contact within the University that I have also seen with my own eyes. I have said it before, you can chose to believe me or not, I really don't give a ****; however, I have been here from day one, met a good amount of folks in person from the boards, and have a reputation of I have never lied. When I was wrong on anything, I am the first to put it out I was wrong, and usually will rip myself more than any poster could.
With all that said, in understanding what I have said about getting information to do their JOBS, I don't see how anyone could realistically come down on Pete or any of the reporters on the site for getting information from Drummond or anyone else. It is just information and they are do the job they are here to do.
I don't recall Pete saying, hey, I like this guy or I think this guy is great. He has stated there is more to it than what is all put out there, but can't get into it for obvious reason.
I think it would be prudent to take the fan glasses off and think about it as a source of information, and therefore not go into the conspiracy theory, holier than thou mentality. It is just my 2 cents and in no way to I support the Geron's and Wilson's bashing of the Canes as a fan; however, I hope I am wise enough to know there is more to the story than what we believe on a message board. In parting, just take it for what it is worth and with a grain of salt.
