FTB, consider this a sworn promise that I will never, ever post anything from Bleacher Report again. This link proves what uninformed idiots they really are (as you warned me). While projecting the Gophers' 2012-13 starting lineup, they made no mention of a certain Gopher guard, a guy named Andre Hollins. Great homework done (tongue firmly in cheek) by BR's talented staff. Yet it didn't stop them from having a photo of Andre Hollins (with Mbakwe), but not mentioning Hollins' name.

They spelled EE's last name wrong for good measure.

No mention, but he is in the photo with Mbakwe hugging him. Excellent work.

But hey, I like the top 24 projection!
 


Click on the author's name and look at his picture. It's a little kid. These aren't real writers.
 



I like how at the end it says, " Led by the point guard Julian Welch. He provides a nice mix of scoring and passing." Seems like he just looked up the role of point guard on the internet and regurgitated that.

Wow. I did click on the author. But to me, the most surprising thing was that this kid has written 21 articles for this rag, and that ranks him 5,520th in articles written. And that gets him credited with this byline "By Ryan Satsky (Featured Columnist) on June 11, 2012"

So yes, ANYONE can publish on this excuse for a website.
