The profile for Anthony DeAngelo the #3 is over a year old now. When these profiles aren’t kept up to date (especially for the notables) we can’t rely on the info since it’s so stale.

  Sorry Wade, we have over 1000 profiles in there now and honestly 600-700 of them have been updated in the last four months. I could have 500 writers covering DobberProspects and you’ll always be able to find a prospect or two without an update in a year. I’ll have the TB guy update this one, but don’t be frustrated with the site over one guy. The notables are the ones with the least need for updates – they’re already well known – so that’s where we disagree.

    Oh I use the site a lot. My default google search is “Prospect name” Dobber
    I didn’t mean for it to sound like the site isn’t valuable because obviously it is. For the guys that aren’t all that well known / ranked well it makes sense that the updates wouldn’t be so often, But I think the top guys should be kept up to date as much as possible.

      oh and the more frequent prospect ramblings is great too!

      Sorry I thought you happened to click one name and passed judgment based on the one unlucky click. I understand, thanks for the feedback. PS – I asked the TB correspondent to get on it!
