You can patent intellectual property.

That is why someone can copyright the words used to convey the fact...that is a unique thought that the writer created. Now you as a member of Hales's site can choose to not post what you learn on his site...and if Hale doesn't like that you post his insider info he can terminate your membership. But he doesn't own an exclusive right to the fact.

 

[sybarite]

Hale is aware that information from his site is posted elsewhere. Since he makes his living off of information not yet available to the general public, he doesn't like it. I don't know that there is much that he can, or would, do about it. A specific amount of discussion creates a market for his site. Specificity can eliminate the value.

There is no reason that this site couldn't have that same information. This is the largest site with respect to women's basketball at OU. Since they are looking at expanding the market for women's sport, it would be a good time for someone to approach Sherri with a plan to increase exposure for women's basketball via the internet. Thus far, the internet employed by the University of Oklahoma has profited the Athletic Department and the football team, but it has actually limited access to information about women's sport. The use of the internet should be a boon to the women's programs.

But, it would take someone who represents this site. It has been four days since the last post on the Insider site about women's basketball or any women's sport. Is that useful to the women's program? For a program that just had a huge symposium about marketing of the sport, does four days sound like a useful marketing approach? It is time for the women's programs to release the shackles employed by the football program.

From the e-mails that I have received from Sherri, I am certain that she is interested in anything that will benefit the sport.

I would think it would help the program if she would post on Twitter. People like to hear from the head coach.

This is elementary to me. I dont understand why OU isnt moving on this on all women's sports.

sybarite,
News about recruiting only helps recruiting.
Being so secretive about what top kids you are recruiting, serves no real purpose.

Talk to Hale.

Reality? Why is Sherri so secretive if that is true? Did you know about Penzo or Gibbs? How often does she catch everyone by surprise? Seems important to her.

 

[j2d2]

Maybe Sherri's success on the edges(getting good unknowns) has colored her idea on letting people know who she is recruiting. Keeping close the identity of a hidden talent is fine but when you are after a national recruit everyone knows who is after whom. I cant see how it would hurt to let people know you are after a nationally rated recruit except to avoid embarrassment if you dont get her. We can just join the list of those who lost out.

 

[AustinTXSooner]

Let us not forget that the university cannot talk about recruits until they've signed a letter of intent.

syb,
for someone like Gibbs or Penzo, I can understand being secretive.

but for the bigger names, no point being secretive.
football coaches use twitter with prospects to great effect.
