I think you have some of the same problems a lot of Michigan and Ohio State fans/bloggers who want to be recruiting reporters have.  You can't seperate your fandom from your reporting.

Coach Brown,

You need to up your professional demeaner if you want to be taken more seriously. As elaydin wrote above, your UM slant is too easily visible and it makes it very difficult to read your information sometimes.

You have done a good job of getting information and establishing relationships; just remember that such privilege comes with responsibility, and I think that is what is making some people on this site nervous.

Most of the time, your updates and writing style are far too presumptious. If you look at TomVH, although adequate, he isn't exactly Ernest Hemingway when it comes to writing ability. However, Tom very obviously has a professional code and he sticks to it. It's much of what makes him successful and a big reason why recruits trust him, year after year. If you want to avoid problems down the road and want to be taken more seriously, then you need to do the same.

I'm not trying to be a dick about it, but obviously you're trying to make a go at the recruiting business so hopefully you can take some of the criticism you receive from mgobloggers and use it to become better at it.

I've decided to lay off the food for a while, and go on the booze.

I guess I just don't see it in my own writing. I always try to include info about other schools if its relevant. I usually include what I think will happen with a recruit whether it's pro-Michigan or not. It just so happens that I usually report about players that are most popular among Michigan circuits. Nobody wants to hear about/from a kid who has no interest in Michigan. Of course I am a fan, but I don't rah-rah about stuff on my site and I don't even pump up Michigan when I talk to recruits. I guess without any actual examples of what you say I do, I'm just blind to it. I'm more than willing to adjust for the better but I'm honestly not sure what adjustments are needed.

His visit was very positive. He knows a few guys from the camp circuit and Ferns came up just to meet him. He spent a good deal of time with the players, and a lot of 1 on 1 time with the coaches. The sports marketing program really piqued his interest, and the academic side was I prestige as well. He knew almost nothing about the program before visiting, so it was very enlightening. He was also thrilled to meet and talk with Denard.
