2025 Recruiting: Meleek Thomas Electric Trigaloo

[ToolzieFan]

Sometimes AI can't tell the difference between an insider and someone who's just loud.

In fairness, many people can’t tell that difference either.

 

[3rdbass]

Why are people at this site treating him as a credible source? Where does this come from? It is insane.

Hopefully he is as wrong as he was with his sources saying UConn to the Big 12 was imminent.

 

[CL82]

I thought it was longer then that

That's what she said

 

[CL82]

Look, he was the first to say we were a lock for the B12 and [looks around] oh

Not only a lock, but "imminent."

He seems like someone who wanted to build a "Locked on" channel and chose UConn as being the most valuable unclaimed brand out there. It doesn't seem like he has any real understanding other than reading the Twitter tea leaves. I do give him credit for breaking this summer's big 12 story, even though I believe that his breaking it hurt us.

I don't watch his podcasts. I suggest others do not as well. Anyone connected with UConn in any way, should avoid him and hopefully he goes away eventually.

he's doing newbie journo mistake things, but still a source of information nonetheless. raw intelligence is always better than no information, even if you gotta work to piece things together.

The free market generally has a way of correcting things. If a media person is wrong enough, people hopefully will tend to tune them out and not share their opinion. It forces them to develop better sources and grind harder to be accurate. You’d think and hope that he’d cut off the source that provided that Big 12 information.

 

[awy]

typically journos cross check and evaluate sources against background knowledge to see if it makes sense. he has neither the knowledge nor multiple sources, but is seen as an outlet for people to leak rumors.

so basically a source of gossip from potential insiders who themselves may not have full grasp of the entire dynamic. his lack of a filter kind of helps in locating where the rumor comes from.

Zanetto is freaking poison

Zanetto is freaking poison

One day he is going to turn full heel, and we are all going to be very sorry.

StorrsCentral has news on his recruitment. Hint, it's different than what Zanetto says.

I just unfollowed his YouTube channel. Finally had enough of the negativity. I'll do my own uninformed speculation.

Imagine if Zanetto had half the rules for posting stuff that we have here.

There really shouldn't be a daily podcast in the summer about college basketball. The only thing really going on is recruiting and that is so fluid, whatever is reported likely will bite you in the butt. I am on wait and see in terms of how that pod does during the season.

Agree. He has no cred and he is very boring. I haven’t listened to his drivel since the B12 braking news fiasco.

I really think we can live without his “insights”.

I don't have the angst against Zanetto like most here and I like some of his content during the NCAAT. Having said all of that though, I have not tuned in since the B12 news, because like you stated, his credibility took a massive hit. It's one thing to be wrong about getting a B12 invite, which is a big thing to be wrong about, but to say it's imminent (like CL82 stated), oh no. It's going to be difficult to trust anything he says.

Little flav of the Zanetto mindset, reminiscent of a 12 year old. If you want to run a reputable podcast representing a top brand, you should likely avoid unnecessarily Twitter sparring with competing fan bases sounding like the Gooch. Jesus C Z Train, how the hell do you expect anyone to take you seriously?

He's not necessarily wrong though. Aside from Flagg, not sure they are particularly quick anywhere on the court.

Read the full string, gets pretty cringy.

Whenever I see somebody posting insane * in the wee hours I assume they are drunk posting. But maybe that's just his brain operating at full efficiency.

We weren’t particularly quick last season
