Need advice on UC subscription sites.
I didn't want to post this here but I couldn't think of a better place to post it. So i'm wanting to subscribe to one of the recruiting web sites. I have always been a nerd about that aspect of college sports the recruiting side. I have always had "in" at ESPN that comes with the magazine which is ok but if your not one of the bigger named schools its trash for recruiting. They even seem to base their rankings of players on where they sign. If they sign with UC their rating goes down instantly if a player signs with say Michigan their rating goes up. They have that new PG we signed Johnson I believe ranked a 2 star and 67 overall for example. Every other site has him at 100-200 overall minimum. There is also good info here on the forum as well and every site has free commitment lists and targets, that's what I have survived on which i'm sure a big chunk of you guys have as well.
The moral of the story though is i'm just wondering what you guys like to use if you subscribe to any at all. Really the choices are Scout, Rival, and 247 sports. I've heard good things about 247 lately on twitter. I'm not to familiar with who runs each site and if they have any real passion for uc, or if they keep up on the content and all that good stuff. If you guys could give me a little info it would be much appreciated. Thanks

247 is probably your best bet. But I wouldn't plan on reposting any of the insider info. Not looked upon too kindly especially considering Chad Brendel posts on this board on occasion. I bet your 247 account would be cancelled.
Many of the regular posters on this forum have a BearcatJournal subscription anyways. |

247. Its the only pay forum that actually speaks w/ the players and coaches. Rivals doesnt do that as far as ive seen

I don't go to any other sites bc I'd feel weird doing that as a mod. I don't want to take any of their info/ideas/topics/etc. I do read the basketball game threads on 247 sometimes. But that's it. If I subscribed anywhere, it'd be 247/BCJ and it's not really close. I honestly wouldn't even entertain the idea of going anywhere else just bc I know that info is legit and Chad is ethical.

I like our site for almost all other UC banter both in game and out. We tend to get the recruiting information very quickly as it comes out...but perhaps not first. |
