catu, which of the following is closer to what Washington and his parents asked you to do?
"catu, we want to notify other coaches that Andre is committing to Wake. Please do us a favor and don't tell anyone about it until we're ready."
or
"catu, go tell DemanDeac and tell him to post a thread on the Premium boards teasing a commit. Make sure the thread is the equivalent of a little girl running around the playground screaming 'I've got a secret, but I can't tell you!' and drag out the info for a few hours. Meanwhile some Wake fans can figure out that it's Andre committing for 2012 while others get their hopes up that it's Katenda who is visiting now, is more highly touted, and can help next season, so they'll be a little disappointed when they find out it's my kid."
Which one?
The other thing about this is that catu assumes that Scoop's source asked Scoop to hold off on the info. What if that's not the case? You weren't the only person to know about this obviously.
catu is playing the martyr here instead of realizing it's pretty simple. Don't tell a secret you're not supposed to tell. And that includes not telling people you have a secret in the first place.
I definitely got an email from someone who presumed it was Katenda and got all excited for a sec.
Still somewhat optimistic that they seem to be getting their guys and not scrambling and ending up with a mish mash of players or debating whether or not to throw a scholly at a Lance Stephenson. I don't know how it will pan out, but I'm in the camp that this is a good thing and not necessarily a case of setting their sights low.
Welcome Andre!
