Bolden on Campus

Gentlemen I have posted info on this board because OU basketball fans have a hard

time getting info and I considered this a basketball enthusiast board. However,

people have taken my post and copied it to a pay site that is mainly for football.

Therefore I will no longer be posting info on this board.


Curious reaction. OU basketball fans have a difficult time getting reliable info so you're going to bail and make it more difficult? I don't see the sense in that reasoning at all. A little overboard, in my honest opinion, but we must all do what we feel is right, I reckon. I really appreciated your insight but...Sayonara.

Come back OULeopard!

We all respect you and your information on this board.

I truly believe no harm was intended...
 
Rough crowd for a great poster.

speaks more about the type of people they really are. How sad to feel the need to act like that on a sports message board. I'm sure their parents are really proud of the tough guys they have raised.
 
Agreed.

I hope OULeopard decides to keep posting, he's been great for the board.

Yep, maybe he cooled off and thought about it more.

I'm an active poster on rivals, and still love coming to this board. The guy who posted the info regularly starts bball threads over there, and mentions this board a lot trying to build interest and get more of a discussion going. I'm very sure he meant no harm, and was trying to build some more hype, since our fans know our current team is good, but how good recruiting is.

He has posted several threads about McGusty, and other recruits, showing Kruger's work on the trail, and this was just adding onto that.
 
I would be very sorry to lose ouleopard as a poster. His information has been rock solid, and he has shown time and time to be much tighter to the inner workings of our program than some of the other recruitniks.

But it's his info, and he can share it however he wants.

I agree. And now that it's been made clear that he doesn't want his info shared on pay boards, I hope he'll give this board another chance. His info is always greatly appreciated.
 
Hey guys this is for all the bball guys. I've been trying to get OUleopard to post his info here but he doesn't feel there are a whole lot of bball fans on the CC. So I'm posting what he posted in our bball forum. Great info. And this guy is as legit as it gets when it comes to recruiting and team info.

It's clear from this that there has been some conversation between the two about posting his information in other places.

Quite possibly the worst news I have heard in a while! I understand, but do not like at all...

I am simply being honest. I am a very loyal and true friend but I cannot meet unexpressed expectations, especially when they are a bit outside the norm. To me expecting that something you state on the internet not be repeated is outside the norm.

It was hardly expressed in confidence or a setting where one would have some expectation of privacy. It is also not pertaining to a subject mater that most would think is confidential. For example, if a friend tells me a story about having trouble in their marriage, I really don't need to be told that is confidential or potentially confidential because it is not the type of information that is shared with everyone but if you tell me Bolden might attend OU, I would not personally assume that is confidential.

I will gladly honor this request in the future and I never actually repeated his information on another site to my knowledge. However, I find it unreasonable to bail on everyone simply because one person violated some unspoken rule. If my expressing this, makes me a bad guy in your opinion then so be it.

I also hope Leopard will decide to remain part of our little group. He seems like a very knowledgable and good guy. My comments are not remotely meant to insult him. I just think he should consider them. I don't see an offense here unless he actually expressed his desire to not be repeated.
 
I appreciate OULeopard's position, and it's certainly his right to do whatever he wants with his
info. I would hope he reconsiders.
It's great content.

But OUHoops is a wide open board, you don't even have to be logged in to view posts.
I've seen his content on other Sooner message boards before, and it was never
acknowledged to him properly.
 
Leopard, thanks again for the info you have provided. We all hope you reconsider leaving this board. With knowledge of your policy, i am certain we can all adhere to it going forward should you choose to come back around here.
 
Sad turn of events. I understand where Leopard is coming from, OU BBall is pretty insulated and a small group compared to the behemoth that is the Football team. Now I'm sure most everyone here loves the football team also but once you start posting on sites like the one being mentioned that info may travel pretty far considering the people there.

Sure this site is open for anyone but it doesn't feel that way - anyway hope Leopard doesn't go MIA.

Exactly
 
I hope you reconsider leopard, but if not I still hope you continue to post as a fan.
 
I did want to state how much I appreciate the info that Leopard provides to the board. I too, hope he will continue to post here even if its just as a fan.
