    I don't BS when it comes to my responsibilities with 247Sports. I try my best to be completely transparent.

    I just read your response and you and I are on two different pages for the most part.

    I was referring to technology products only. You may be referring to tech, but you are also talking about editorial priorities.

    That is 100% up to the publisher and reporters on the site --- Bobby, Gerry, Jeff, Dave, etc.

    My last comment on this subject because it is apparent 247 is not going to from a technology standpoint or recruiting cover basketball. Two simple things like a schedule and listing the commitments wouldn't take long if a tech person knows what they are doing. So yes we are on the same page but its not a priority to put those 2 things on the home page.

    Yes, we are going to try to do a better job covering Basketball recruiting from a national perspective.

    Agreed on adding schedule and commitments on the home page. We will try to get that added in the near future.

    Thanks for the feedback.

    You are also missing a walk-on on the basketball roster.

    Lucky, for me, please understand that I appreciate that you are asking a very specific set of questions. I appreciate the job you and IT do and the jobs that the Mods do. However, when staff asks for feedback, you gotta realize that the nature of that feedback will come from the priorities of the person giving the feedback. That is why I think a more standardized format for the input you are specifically asking for is probably in order. Plus maybe a box for comments for those of us who chose to follow the rules as it suit us. Shoot, either Hornfans or Shaggy Bevo (I do not remember which one) even has the capability for members to set up their own surveys, and they are free sites.

    Regarding your fact finding venture, does the image of herding cats come to mind? ;)

    What you need to have is ability for a user to see every time a user down voted him and who it was that did it. Then increase the number of down votes per day to like 10. Less people would just randomly do it if they know you're going to retaliate.

    Lighten up Francis.
