How is it source less info? Brice Brown was on ESPN Radio yesterday morning with Culotta and T-Bob talking about the NOLA hs coaches meeting was today. Sam was right in what he posted at the time. Now the boycott might have been wrong words but those coaches planned to talk about LSU treatment of Juluke. It might have calmed down some since then. But to call the report baseless is not accurate either.

He gave no source in his article. He didn't even give a vague source, such as "according to a coach in the NO area..."

It's shoddy journalism.

At the time you read the article yourself, you shouldn't have taken it seriously. He gave literally no indication of how he came about proclaiming a "new orleans boycott" or where he got his information from. Not even a hint. I'm not saying he ended up wrong, because if there was a meeting he was right in that regard. Still doesn't make it good journalism.

Sounds like it was blown out of proportion, hence my question.

Discussing their concern over the way it was handled in a long way from "boycott".
Maybe it wasn't baseless but it sure seemed to be sensationalized.

As I said, I don't follow him so know little about him. It's amazing how many reporters follow LSU recruiting, performance, operations. Why? Is there really that much demand for the same stories and analysis being reported?

This was a reporter trying to make a splash. Instead he made a hack job of a report in an effort to self promote

It's more important to be first and loud than it is to be accurate in journalism nowadays
