Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is the guy who first broke the story on Cam Newton. With all the various reports flying around, its tough to tell where the original story came from. IF so, what is this guy's reputation in the business? I believe he is the one who broke the Eric Bledsoe (UK) investigation for reported academic ineligibility and the Enes Kanter (UK) story about reported paying of the recruit while in Turkey. Admittedly, most of my information regarding the latter two stories is from UK fans, but they seem to claim this guy is full of S&%$ and twists stories to sensationalize them.

So, I'm just wondering if anyone knows the reputation of this guy and if he is known for solid reporting or known for merely sensationalist writing.

Thanks,

He’s considered more of a basketball expert than football, but if you write for the country’s most prestigious newspaper, that should explain a lot about your credentials, reputation, etc…
