If I were a recruit, I would want to know if the fan base backed both the players and the coach. What better place than the message board for each school to find out? Selby's mom did and it played a factor.Honestly, do recruits read these threads? If I was a recruit, I would not base my decision on what a fan base is talking about. Making a decision on where I would go to school for the next 2,3,4 years should go much deeper than that. I am being honest when asking this question. I cant imagine being a recruit and loging on here to see what the fans are saying and letting that have any influence on my decision. Do players, coaches, AD's etc read here also?

Regardless of how silly it seems, Selby's mom was quoted as saying she didn't like some of the things that were said about him on Tennessee's boards after he de-committed.hmy:That wouldn't be very bright. Message boards bring out extreme views that many people are afraid to publicly utter....or are instantly laughed off the face of the earth if they do.
To believe that extreme views on message boards represent the majority of opinions (of a fanbase) is just silly.

So you are saying the Selby clan was testing us and if we said nice things about him after he de-committed, he would have re-committed?
