I think I can speak on behalf of all the mods when I say that info from "sources" and others things actually relating to the prospect, his recruitment, and his possible impact is not only ok, it is encouraged. The only issues that arise are the tangents the threads go off on - when they have absolutely nothing to do with the recruit, his position, ND impact, etc. That is where the only issue arises.
Remember that we are trying to keep in mind all of those who can not frequent the board everyday. Those who only log on every week or so and go into a thread hoping to catch up on news on a recruit only to see pages of non-related information must be disappointed and confused, and to be honest they are right. There are other forums for that.
