I haven't read this whole thread, and I just clicked on a page where someone was asking why UGA fans don't like Keith Neighbur. I believe it was on page 16. Comments like he made about Terry Godwin are at least part of the reason
I think he's fine, but the reasons that UGA fans don't like him is that he went to Florida and covers Auburn.
The reason fans think other schools' reporters are homers (in general) is that those reporters' best sources are the staffs at those other schools. That information is slanted before the reporter ever gets it.

This, and its a business meant to generate subscriptions, so of course most sites will slant this recruitment a little to its market.
Having said that, I like Keith because, while he does have and quotes "sources" in AU's program, he typically takes a methodical approach in making projections on recruits - his common quote is "follow the visits". He sees where kids go often, and who they hang out with on visits and relies on this a lot more than what he is told by sources. It seems to be a little more objective, I think. But its recruiting so nothing is an exact science, obviously.
