He's visited a bunch of times with the Rivals crew. Vinny LOVES him:
The local mixtape guys LOVE him too.
I'm not going to link to Zags on a matter of principle, but according to him Martin has offers from UMass and URI already.
In defense of Zags, no one covers the tri-state (esp. NY/NJ) high school basketball better. 99% of the relevant Nick Richards content comes from Zags and who broke the Bamba/UConn visit news?
Yes, he over retweets his stories. Yes, he has clickbait/misleading headlines. Yes, he fawns over Calipari. But his business is getting clicks. He's trying to make a living giving free high school basketball news. Not easy.
He doesn't charge a subscription with ESPN, Yahoo, Fox, or CBS backing him. All he has is SNY (a big backer of UConn) supporting him.
Just my opinion but SUPORT the free content providers otherwise the absolute rip off pay sites gain more power.
