When I am looking for uninformed speculation on Hoyas Basketball, Hilltop Hoops is my go to resource, especially if I've misplaced my Ouija board Funny coincidence that a fair amount of the people who hate on hilltop are also Ewing supporters hmmm can’t be connected in anyway (he’s not perfect but he obviously puts in a lot of hustle to get some of these articles done and even didn’t get invited to a presser after the Ronny article which he likely knew could happen) And while quotes are nice and all, not everyone interviewed wants to be quoted, if you’ve ever written an article/interview or done an oral history it’s completely up to the interviewee on the topic of not wanting to be named, quoted, or mentioned at all with any specificity (hence the line in some papers “people familiar with the matter…”) and pushing them to let you quote or name them is unethical There is nothing inherently unethical in a journalist trying to get a source to go on the record. It's okay though, because Hilltop Hoops is clearly nothing more than typical internet blather.

Given that there are so few people that cover our program, I appreciate his reporting efforts.

Do you think Hilltop Hoops is making it all up? He does, but he has nothing to back it up. Just doesn’t mesh with his rosy view of the state of the program.

No, I do not think Hilltop is making it all up. That said, Hilltop is not in any way trying to commit acts of journalism here. Way too many posts without any kind of attribution combined with robust indulgence of his own hardly groundbreaking opinion, yawn.
And Bigsky, just because I think people like yourself who sit at their reese's stained keyboards and talk smack about the Hoyas every single day are wasting their valuable time on this planet, does not mean I have a "rosy" view of the program.
I want the players and the coaches and the students and the fans and you and hoyaboya and me and everyone else to be doing what we want to do most, taunting UConn and Cuse and Nova about our dominance, ok?
It's the dawn of a new day, and believe me, I want some results. I just will not ever demean or make fun of the efforts of the team, no matter the outcome, capische? Ya big lug you

Seems like you’re assuming that Aiden (nefariously) isn’t asking people to go on the record, which seems like a rather big assumption.
