does anyone have ESPN insider? There's an article about "package deals being all the rage" and could 2 top 100 players benefit Providence, with their pictures up top. Curious what it has to say.

It's from Friday
Abu, Terrell and Providence?
ESPN 100 power forward Abdul-Malik Abu(Boston/Kimball Union) handled his business this summer. He raised his national profile, extended his touch to midrange and now has four schools vying for his signature. Florida, Providence, NC State and Connecticut are in the mix as finalists.
“I think every year has been a progression, and that’s the best thing to do,” Abu said. “This summer, I made another progression. I’m proud of myself.”
This weekend, Abu will visit Providence unofficially -- again. He and pal Jared Terrell (Weymouth, Mass./Brewster Academy), an ESPN 100 shooting guard, each have Providence among their final four choices. Terrell is down to Providence, Cincinnati, Rhode Island and Oklahoma State.
Abu said they certainly could be Friars together.
“They want us both. Most definitely,” he said. “That’s one of my best friends. I’d love to play with one of my best friends. In the end, we’ll make our own choices, but who’s to say Providence isn’t the best place?”
There isn’t an assistant coach handling Abu’s recruitment and relationship with the Friars. It’s the head honcho, the big cheese, Ed Cooley. “Ed Cooley’s been recruiting me hard for two years himself,” Abu said. “Cooley’s been there for two years on the frontlines and it’s close to home.”
Abu also said he realizes other programs are worried about the Friars in his recruitment because of Cooley. “For some schools, (Cooley’s) like the bogeyman.”

No, it's not copyright infringement. Relaying info is not infringement. Copying info word for word and pasting it is infringement.

Oh stop being such a rule following little girl. ESPN and its insider content crap is so annoying. Their writers like Buster Olney are always dropping links on sites like Twitter without ever mentioning it is paid content until you click on it. I had an insider membership for years, I think it's a ripoff.

For what it's worth, you can actually get ESPN magazine with free Insider for about $4 per YEAR.

Then why in would anyone care what they say?
Copying their content in and not paying $3 is beyond amateur, it's not being a sissy.
