Actually, no one signs until next week.

Vildes is at Lee Academy in Maine, the same school Kwiatkowski came from. . I do know they started their season last month, and so far they're 3-6. Dont have any individual stats. I do know he was on Latvia's U18 national team that competed at the European Championships, but he didnt play much. He's listed as 6'8". At the moment, thats all I got.

i'm sure rivals appreciates you stealing their headlines, nick. crap move

Is it on Rivals? I've been looking, but dont see anything.

it was broken on smu rivals not 45 minutes before nick came here. Our fans really need to realize, like it or not, services matter in recruiting, and by hurting ours, we shoot ourselves in the foot.

Isn't the point of breaking a story is so that people will see the news and spread it? How is he hurting the service by passing along the headline? Just curious...

As for the recruit, we're becoming quite the international team. I don't care where as the players come from as long as they win games. Just hope this guy's game in no way resembles TK's!

It is only fair for the board to know we got another committ and his name...

Services need subscriptions to stay in business. If people pull the breaking news, and put it on free boards right away, what is the incentive to sign up? Recruits don't pay attention to 3rd party free boards like ponyfans.com, no offense. It's all about rivals/scout and ESPN. Until we got both scout and rivals, we spent several years with recruits/commits getting no ink. Ink creates hype, hype helps the program, which helps gets the next kid. Ask our respective staff's how much they appreciate our services getting the word out on the kids and programs. I like this place as much as the next, and the completely free format is commendable, until it becomes the place to leak premium info from other sites. Ultimately, Vilde is committed, and it would be out before long anyway, but it's important to recognize what matters in the recruiting world. Having active services matter. They have national boards, tickers, databases etc.

So, does anyone have any relevant or useful information about him?

Nick, I think it is putting the name out there before Armen released it from being premium info. That is what will take down a recruiting service. And we really need them now.

How is it fair to those that paid over there? How is it fair to the guys that work hard to break that story, and need subscriptions to earn bank?

What you've just admitted to is stealing intellectual property on a premium site, but you're the one calling me a [deleted]? Then you rationalize it by saying you didn't cut'n'paste the article or link the video, are you serious? How do you think those sites survive, numbnuts?

It's only 'fair' to pay for a premium service if you want premium info. Don't steal it, you aren't [deleted] robinhood. We need that site around.

next time you try and get in ponypride, tell me if I was wrong.

How about this, if you get something from a pay site, include a link to the original article. That'll help drive traffic to their site, and hopefully help them stay in business.

Other than that, though, you cant really censor information. It gets out whether you like it or not, and no one has a real monopoly or patent on it. It's not proprietary. Once you put something out on the internet it's going to get around, the people who read it will talk about it, thats why they pay for the service in the first place.

6'9 230ish, several polished post moves, solid mid range game that can extend to 3. Likes contact & boarding. He's physically mature and will contribute in the post immediately.

Nobody is talking about censoring info, it would have come out. It's about protecting the integrity of our premium services, mostly b/c we need them and the staffs will tell you as much. Surely you understand that, prof x. Also, tons of things are discussed on premium services across the web that never reach the free boards, so not everything is wildfire in how it spreads.

At Maryland they've known since july that a starting big man was going to be suspended for the season, but it didn't get to the free boards till last night, approximately 30 minutes before an exhibition tip. It became a topic b/c the kid was in street clothes. The notion that everything is free once it hits the net is bunk.

fine, I surrender. [deleted] all this noise, its not worth the effort.
