several podcasts are in the works and we have two interviews coming soon, we are also reaching out to 2014 recruits. If anyone knows when guys are on campus next yr let me know bc we are going to try and interview recruits. My goal is to interview all the recruits Bona is going after and try to bring you guys as much information as possible.
I will have a recruiting big board on the member only page coming this summer. You guys are what make BonaNation and I appreciate everyone supporting us.
I'm hoping we will be an asset to the coaching staff because kids (for the most part) love attention and being interviewed, and we can keep bonnies in the front of their mind. I might need you guys to blow up some twitter accounts with Bonnie love if needed.
With-out you guys, I can't do my job, so thank you for the support

***STUDENTS*** We want to make a spot/page/story on current student bonnie fans, I'm looking for ideas, if your a current student fan let me know what you want on the web site. We are working on adding even more social media and cellphone app. I am trying to talk with the coaching staff, so that next year we can know who is on campus and on visits so we can tell the student section to chant their name as a recruiting tool. I'm looking for a BonaNation.com student team or go to person who is a diehard fan to help me out because i cant be on campus on a regular. It can even be an internship for a journalism major if you want to use it like that, something to put on the resume. I'm looking for more writers especial for pro sports not so much for bonnie stuff. I have Jay who does basketball but he is still in the military and deploys. thank you everyone for the support. BonaNation.com I would be willing to help you out. Send me a PM.

Alot to announce:
There is alot of information and interviews coming this weekend, we are interviewing two 2014 recruits, one is a top 100. We are not releasing names of any recruits we will be interviewing until we do an official interview or have talked to the recruit, his family and coaches about making any kind of announcements. There are several reasons why, recruiting is a very sensitive environment and they are still 17-18 yr old kids. We want to be responsible journalists.
The blog on the site and twitter are updated the most frequently (cough cough blog).
more is coming and the launch (next week) of our Basketball Recruiting Page which will have all our interviews with recruits, it will fall under Bona Nation and the Bona Nation page will still have all current and past Bonnie player interviews, Signings, and coaches. lady Bonnies info to come as well.
NBA and NFL pages are launched today as well, they will be updated tmrw i think. (NFL wont start till August)
We have made headway in the athletic department and thats all i can say for now.
As requested I will reframe from making announcements on bonabandwagon and just keep this thread updated with upcoming events/interviews we will only be making announcements of posts now through our twitter, facebook, and blog.
I will not be taking comments on the threads as well, there is a contact page on the website if you need to talk to us. This effort is to try to keep this board as pure bona fan chatter and not website structural conversations or website talk. It is also so we don't cross the line of journalism and fandom. we are trying to keep bonanation.com as clean as possible from anyone speculating our journalistic integrity.
We appreciate everyone following the website, making these changes allows us to have more access to the coaching staff and recruits. We have to play by different rules if we want to have access, and i think everyone agrees they rather read my reporting then talk chalk with me.
Thank you everyone for being understanding, this is our first yr and we are learning as we go. thank you for staying with us while we navigate everything in the effort to bring more news and coverage.

Jalen Adams, There will be a story out about all of our recruits (summary) this upcoming week. As of right now I don't think we will be doing an interview with Jalen Adams. Since the recruiting period is over May 15 and we have no more Ships to fill, we will be going into research mode over the summer. We will come out with the occasional stories but most of the time will be making connections for the recruiting news page and big board. I have talked with most of the bona players and we are going to talk with all of them after the summer in September to get a recap on what went on over the summer. We are in the talks about doing a short film and we are talking with the coaching staff to get comments on this class. there will be more podcasts coming out, now that we have more information and have gotten to talk to the new guys we will have more information to give. There will be new moderators to the site we are reaching out to some of the guys on the boards to help with coverage of the team and who have been around for a while, this way we have more guys to update the blog and help with research. We also have the new lady's page out and we are talking with coach crowley this week to give the girls more coverage and to do regular stories. we will be bringing more updates soon.

Enjoy the website immensly. One quick note - upon clicking on the Coach Crowley interview, I notice that you refer to the women's team as Bona Lady's Nation. 1.) It would be "Ladies" ... but 2.) I don't think they enjoy being called the Lady Bonnies or any connotation to Ladies. Most colleges have done away with that. My suggestion would be to just have a "Bona Women's Basketball" portion of the site.
Again, great work. It's nice to have a resource like this for the fans.
