And we’re back @CorenRichard

[PCBB Bombs @pcbb_bombs]

Couldn’t take the heat, apparently. @CorenRichard

[PCBB Bombs @pcbb_bombs]

Two seconds of searching to be decent & use this app the way everyone else does wouldn’t kill you. A simple RT or quote tweet of the person like Andrew or Jake who had it 1st would also get the info to your followers. No credit on the ScoutFriars premium board either, apparently

[PCBB Bombs @pcbb_bombs]

Precisely the problem with @CorenRichard not properly crediting the real person that broke the news. Ian did nothing wrong here. But if @jakelieberman2 was properly credited by Richard then Ian would have known who to give credit to also. Poor kid had it first but gets no credit.

[PCBB Bombs @pcbb_bombs]

Just because you didn’t see his tweet doesn’t make it okay to not credit. You do care about breaking news. You also care about maintaining a perception that you have sources and break news. Otherwise, why would people pay for premium on ScoutFriars?

[PCBB Bombs @pcbb_bombs]

@AlexSim7 @CorenRichard Oh, and the first person to report this was @Andrew__Slater a day before the first tweet. Might be nice to properly credit/attribute the person that broke the news instead of conveniently omitting so it looks like you broke the news.

[PCBB Bombs @pcbb_bombs]

@CorenRichard Wasn’t that hard, right? Now we need to work on you saying “confirming PERSON X’s report via sources”. Not sure why you’d feel the need to do that because you aren’t Adam Schefter, but we’re making progress.

[PCBB Bombs @pcbb_bombs]

No one is asking you to reveal sources. It would just be nice to make it clear it is a sourced report or credit someone that actually broke the story. Literally everyone else manages to understand how this works. You do, too. But you want to make it appear you are breaking news

[PCBB Bombs @pcbb_bombs]

Obviously. We live in a society. On Twitter it’s common practice for any writer/journalist to indicate where the info is coming from and/or give credit to the original source of the info if it has already been reported. You just want to puff your chest about sources. Kind of sad.

[PCBB Bombs @pcbb_bombs]

So why didn’t you say “per source”? Seems convenient a customer of yours posted info and then you magically spoke to a source of your own. Also not sure who you think runs this account but it’s not anyone named Alex. Try again.

[PCBB Bombs @pcbb_bombs]

Nearly 8 hours later at 6:55pm ET we get a tweet from @CorenRichard "Friars are looking at Penn State transfer PF John Harrar. Averaged 8.8 ppg/8.8 rpg this season #pcbb" with no attribution or mention that his source may be...one of his paying subscribers at ScoutFriars.

[PCBB Bombs @pcbb_bombs]

Sources tell me that there is interesting pattern going on with info posted to the premium board at ScoutFriars by paid subscribers (not the mods) and then 12 hours later (or less) that same "premium" info shows up on @CorenRichard timeline as a tweet with no attribution...

[PCBB Bombs @pcbb_bombs]

One recent example is John Harrar, the Penn State transfer. There doesn't seem to be any link on Twitter/publicly connecting Harrar to Providence when a paid subscriber posted that Providence reached out at 10:11am ET on 3/16/2021...

[PCBB Bombs @pcbb_bombs]

We’re to believe this was independently sourced? #pcbb

[PCBB Bombs @pcbb_bombs]

Friars are looking at Penn State transfer PF John Harrar. Averaged 8.8 ppg/8.8 rpg this season. #pcbb

[PCBB Bombs @pcbb_bombs]

Pretty common practice to say something like “per source” or to credit the person that had the news first if you confirm it via a source after broken. You tweet things out like you are breaking news. Disingenuous at best. Again, why credit/RT you when you credit/RT no one else?

[PCBB Bombs @pcbb_bombs]

@Pbonner02 @CoachPalmer3 @FriarFan1 @CorenRichard Correct

[PCBB Bombs @pcbb_bombs]

PC has reached out to transfer Northeastern guard Tyson Walker. #pcbb

[PCBB Bombs @pcbb_bombs]

@Pbonner02 @CoachPalmer3 @FriarFan1 @CorenRichard You are assuming I’m trying to actually report or care about the information. All I’m doing is pointing out that he never credits anyone else. And it clearly got his attention quickly enough to out himself by asking me for credit.

[PCBB Bombs @pcbb_bombs]

@Pbonner02 @CoachPalmer3 @FriarFan1 @CorenRichard To prove a point.

[PCBB Bombs @pcbb_bombs]

@Pbonner02 @CoachPalmer3 @FriarFan1 @CorenRichard Just recent examples. This entire account was to try to teach him a lesson. He should know better than to try to pass off other people’s info as his own. Alas, he’s been doing that for years. Quite entertaining he reached out asking for credit or a RT when he never does either
