Anthony reflecting my thoughts, as well as some other people on here that it’s nice to have confirmation from a couple sources:

In other words, if it's not on Twitter, some people aren't going to believe it. ✔
As for Anthony, he's the beat writer. There's no reason why he can't get the answer from one of the sources.

Seriously, dial Owensboro and ask for the Wesleyan Sports Information Director. "Say, did Logan McIntyre join your program?" (We are not at liberty to say.) "If I said he had joined you, would you deny it?" (We deny nothing.) So ... calling a secret source at UE. "Did Logan McIntyre ask to have his transcripts transferred?" (Off the record?) "Yes, you twit! It's why you are my secret source." "Logan who?" Holy steaming pile of rubble -- it's a kid transferring. |

Just a little weird in this day and age for VC to be the only one breaking the news of a transfer. KWCs twitter has tweeted about them signing other transfers this cycle but nothing about Logan. Logan’s active on social media but hasn’t tweeted anything personally either. I’m not sure how VC gets their info in these cases, but it’s very strange to me that they’re the only one publicly addressing this transfer. If it is true though, I think it’ll be a good fit for Logan. Seems like we schedule KWC as an exhibition every few years, so we may get to see what we missed out on in a game in the Ford before he graduates. |

KWC bears no responsibility for announcing it. The D-2 teams don't have a dozen scholly's to hand out. McIntyre can enroll, say he's coming out for the team and the college can just go about its business. |

Jeff Goodman of Stadium Basketball Insider has a list of every transfer, and he also has McIntyre committed to Ky. Wesleyan. I don't have a Twitter post to make it official

D2 can use 10 full scholarship equivalents so they do have options. Unlike D1, they can offer full rides and split up scholarships to fill a roster with solid players. They can also stack athletic and academic scholarships, so in many cases they can put a full team together with very few kids paying much out of pocket.

Jeff Goodman of Stadium Basketball Insider has a list of every transfer, and he also has McIntyre committed to Ky. Wesleyan. I don't have a Twitter post to make it official Good find AcesChamp6571. I would consider Jeff Goodman a reliable source. Although he is likely using VerbalCommits as his source, I presume he would not post if he was not reasonably sure. Still a little hokey that it is not mentioned anywhere else and Logan M himself doesn’t seem to have made an announcement. So is this the elusive second confirmation (or just taking verbal commits at their word)? I doubt that Jeff Goodman has time to run every signing down but you would have to think that he feels reasonably comfortable as he has a reputation to uphold. For me, I am moving on as eventually there will either be a confirmation (or denial) from Logan or KWC (or another school).

Goodman does have access to a coaches login to the actual transfer portal that only coaches have access to, so maybe that shows you where someone ends up after entering the portal?
I’m assuming VC has the same kind of access since they tweeted that all our players were leaving before they made any public announcements.
Still very weird to not have any kind of formal announcement in this day and age.

McIntyre is not required to make an announcement at all. |

ATP, Twitter is one of many sources to collaborate information and in this day and age it is going to be used quite frequently. Obviously no formal announcement is required by Logan. Please try to stay on topic and refrain from making personal attacks where the thread gets off track.
We are all on the same team.
Note: Many on here are not fans of the (account) name changes either to make it look like it’s coming from more than one person. There are a few on here that do that, but not many.

I am still overwhelmed that the Roca Bar is moving.
I fell in love there one night in 1968.

Thanks for the contribution about Roca Bar! Did he/she enter the transfer portal or tweet out a commitment?

Note: Many on here are not fans of the (account) name changes either to make it look like it’s coming from more than one person. There are a few on here that do that, but not many. The biggest critics of the name changes are those who have also changed their names. The "many on here" who are not fans of ATP's name changes aren't fans of his in general, no matter the name. But isn't it strange that they always seem to know who is behind the new name? They aren't confused. They are angry that ATP hasn't been canceled. I won't hold my breath waiting for you to lecture THEM on personal attacks. It's human nature not to lecture your like-minded friends. ATP adds more meaty content to this board than any ten of his drive-by haters combined. There are also many on here who silently appreciate ATP. Complainers ALWAYS make the most noise and contribute the least. IMHO, it doesn't matter to me which anonymous name made a comment. The comment stands on it's own. It is what it is. Agree, disagree, remain neutral, or ignore. It's really that simple. The entire board is anonymous. I'm sure that some have multiple accounts and masquerade as more than one person. That doesn't bother me in the least. I don't even mind the personal attacks thrown at me. I yawn through them. I do mind when moderators issue selective admonitions. Consistency is always the best policy. A personal attack by any other name is still not a rose. Complaints about account name changes are never on-topic. NEVER. They are always personal attacks. As for Logan McIntire, maybe three fans cared about him when he sat on the bench. Possibly four. Now he's the Talk of the Town. Is he going to KW or not? I hope so, because then I will be able to name one person on their roster instead of the none I've known about for the last twenty years. |

Note: Many on here are not fans of the (account) name changes either to make it look like it’s coming from more than one person. There are a few on here that do that, but not many. Calling out your comment is hardly a personal attack, so you don't need to play the victim card. I honestly don't need to fall back on the "same team" meme about this. You seem intent on disputing a source of information, at the same time, retweeting every single Twitter comment ever made without question. So really, if Logan McIntyre has chosen KWC, I might go on and on about the same people who got tired of Dru Smith stories -- who cares where Logan McIntyre is playing. The guy got, what ... 8 functional minutes for a team that won 5 games. Twitter is largely made up of people who use fake names, offer zero proof and is taken as gospel for reasons that say, 'trust me, I'm from the lab and I already know this virus is made up!' (Well, it's on Twitter and Beanie says he works in the lab, so that must be the truth!) Look, if this stuff is interesting, then it's interesting. Mostly, it's gossip. I honestly don't care if it's used "frequently." If you believe it to be factual, fine ... I mean, I work in the lab and I know it's not. Twitter doesn't collaborate anything. It's the first thing some people read and it's the last research they ever do. Otherwise, it seems that I've stayed on topic. Questioning the validity of first hand sources on twitter while blindly trusting verbal commits is incredibly ironic. You do realize VC gets all of their high school offer news from kids announcing the offer on twitter right? VC is nothing but a website ran by one to two guys that compile recruiting information they gain from social media into one place. Yes, there’s people that make stuff up on twitter, but I don’t recall anyone posting anything like that on here since AcesReboot had his run last winter. Most all twitter news is either first hand news from prospects tweeting things or news from recruiting journalists that talk to recruits and follow their recruiting for a living. Far from what you’re claiming is posted here. Like I said in my other posts, they clearly have access to the actual NCAA transfer portal and that’s where they’re gaining their info as far as Logan goes, so it’s likely legitimate, but it’s not out of reason to want to see a piece of information corroborated by multiple sources. VC is no more reliable than anything you’d find on twitter, and if you actually used Twitter, you’d know that it’s common practice for a recruit to tweet they’ve received an offer and then VC tweeting the link where they’ve added it to their recruiting database a few hours later after seeing the news. |
