This isn't remotely close to that idiot's behavior.
It does seem like there could be an opportunity to impact the situation through social media, but I'm not on twitter and not connected to media outlets to help out. If I was I would carpet bomb every sec east coach and AD about the situation.
That's the point, in order to be an objective member of the media (and to ensure he retains his press credentials)
@Ketchum can't attempt to impact the situation in any way.
Passing the story to the national guys or to SEC East coaches absolutely crosses a journalistic line that you can not cross if you want to regarded as an unbiased reporter.
He'd be taking action that would directly influence the decision of Texas recruit. Not a good look if you own a Texas recruiting website.
Writing that piece as the lead story in one of the more popular columns on OB, which you can rest assured members in TH's social media department monitor, is about as far as he can and should go with it.
Just like listing the names of JUCO DT recruits in the same column... if he actually reached out to the top JUCO DTs and said "Texas really needs DTs next year you should get in touch with Oscar Giles and start a dialogue" that would be inappropriate.
