Strib is a dying outlet. All their best people been poached by other websites now, particularly in the sports end with the Athletic. I have no opinion either way on Fuller, he seemed to be your stock beat guy.
Now as far as this being a demotion? NO. Gophers basketball has not been a prime beat in Minnesota for a long time. If it were the football beat he was being moved from, yeah, it probably would be a demotion. But HS sports coverage is huge these days, much bigger than the Gophers Basketball programs combined. If anything, if he's the lead writer it's more of a promotion. Now I have my doubts that the Strib will be able to compete in the streaming and recruiting space but it is a very hot business in sports media right now.
