To be fair, there is little of value on Twitter in general.+1. He’s extremely toxic and provides so little value to your feed
Jeremy Werner and Derek Piper with IlliniInquirer are pretty much the best in every aspect. They're the only ones I follow because the majority of the rest aren't as reputable imoNot sure where to ask this, but coverage of our Illinois basketball team seems to fit here. Those tied into the program.. what are the reputations of the different media that cover the team? Who is the most reliable? Who is the best at what they do? Who should you take the info with a grain of salt? Etc...
Sturdy is in there as well. Ked not so much. Ryan Evans absolutely not. Doug on rivals is blehJeremy Werner and Derek Piper with IlliniInquirer are pretty much the best in every aspect. They're the only ones I follow because the majority of the rest aren't as reputable imo
Robert Rosenthal? Mostly just football?Sturdy is in there as well. Ked not so much. Ryan Evans absolutely not. Doug on rivals is bleh

Robert repeatedly says he doesn't like to follow recruiting. After kids commit he'll look at them and do LLUOI or the basketball equivalent, but he's really big on "just being a fan." (He's said it several times and it's part of what's soured him on media events recently.)Robert Rosenthal? Mostly just football?
Buy her a lot of Illini gear to wear …everyday!I didn't realize my daughter works at a prep school that has produced some very good players. The McDuffie School in Springfield Ma. I looked today and James Bouknight, Omarion Spellman, Ismael Massoud, and sevetal others, even Edgar Padilla. Shes only been there six months but hoops is a big deal. I wonder if we are following players from there. I hope we are involved with Massoud because he seems to be someone that could fill a huge need for the Illini. I wonder if Indy knows anything about that program or its players? I know he mentioned he talks to so many players and coaches everyday.

Robert is an everyman fanboy with a platform and he's great. He's all of us. But he is not nor has he claimed to be plugged into recruiting.Robert Rosenthal? Mostly just football?
I have curated lists on a couple very specific topics that are useful (e.g., for me, defense news). They generally feature mostly journalists or similar informational outlets. I never use my general feed that thinks it knows what I want to see. I also very carefully avoid political accounts of any kind on those lists.There's a stuff-ton of chaff, but there's a lot good insight too. The trick is separating the two.

And yes, one of those lists is sports, but I use it far less than I used to because sports media are increasingly terrible outside of The Athletic, and I'm not a subscriber.
Sturdy better on basketball than anyone on Illiniinquirer and its is not close. I will take Werner though on football side.Jeremy Werner and Derek Piper with IlliniInquirer are pretty much the best in every aspect.

Ked is ok. You just gotta know what you are getting. Sturdy, Piper, Werner are legitimate reporters. Ked is a homer that covers sports.Sturdy is in there as well. Ked not so much. Ryan Evans absolutely not. Doug on rivals is bleh
Yes, Robert is a great writer and a good twitter follow but he has no interest in recruiting info until kids are on campus basically.Robert repeatedly says he doesn't like to follow recruiting. After kids commit he'll look at them and do LLUOI or the basketball equivalent, but he's really big on "just being a fan."

You must be ultra aware that Illinois MBB led P-5 in blocked shots this year!I have curated lists on a couple very specific topics that are useful (e.g., for me, defense news).
