Quote:It doesn't really have anything to do with the nature of trying to be the first to break a story. That is a major problem with journalism today, but not in this case. It's just the nature of how the UDFA process works.

 

Are you going to slam ESPN for reporting that so and so committed to a college during the recruiting process if said athlete at some point decommits and signs somewhere else? That's essentially what UDFA is, except it's condensed into a four hour period instead of a four month period. No one was at fault (not Alfie or the other two dozen people who reported it), it's just the nature of UDFA.
