SI.com has PUBLISHED unhappy comments made by Rutgers fans on their message board after Lance Thomas chose Duke over Rutgers. It makes you wonder if they’ll be lurking over here if MB chooses KSU.
........Silly as they may be, college message boards are officially part of our culture now. At Rutgersfan.com, like at any of the hundreds of fan sites, posters cloaked under the protection of anonymity share their passions on message boards. They parry over their prospects, debate their coaches' decisions and, now, hurt the very schools they're supposedly fans of.
“Kids read that stuff,” said Danny Hurley, Thomas’ coach at St. Benedict’s. “If they haven’t, coaches have it sent to them.”
Of course they do.
Negative recruiting has moved well past the whispered gossip…

Nice.
FWIW - Don’t think for a minute that the asst or coach recruiting every player we look at doesn’t read this site when they learn of it. And if we’ve said anything negative about the player, he’s gonna see it, cause the coach will copy it and send it to him.
Sound corny? Immature? Yeah, probably, but it happens.
