Again, I compare him to another reporter that covers Stanford, Andy Drukarev. When Kevin Gemmell handled the Stanford blog on ESPN, I thought he did a fairly good job at digging beyond the surface. I get that not everything that is reported is going to be completely original. But that doesn't excuse parroting lines from a press conference and calling it a day.
I've been critical of Wilner in the past for similar reasons, but I have also acknowledged when his sources and hard work produced new information. For example, he had a better finger on the pulse of Pac-12 expansion than anyone, and has a better understanding of the Pac-12 Networks and the league's TV deals than anyone else.
