Hamm has a better relationship with the recruiting side of it. He's going to get more in depth interviews, and he works those high school kids like a Catholic priest. And the personalities there are much more interesting and not a homogeneous group of cocksuckers like on TexAgs. And he's a bit more reasonable and realistic than TexAgs on where recruits are leaning. Looch is much better connected from the coaching/12th Man side. The content they pump out is unmatched. Whenever someone on a different site makes fun of Looch he gets hyperdefensive and always talk about the content angle. And he's right. Those interviews with Sharp/12th Man might be worth the cost of the subscription. What is really funny is how much Hamm and Looch hate eachother. I think I like Looch more personally because I know him better, but Hamm is still a nice guy.

Rivals is behind the ball and has ostracized too many people in the AD. Tarp is supposedly a nice guy, but I've never met him.

Scout is meh.

Honestly stop being a lolpoor and buy two. TexAgs and 247.

I've always been a Texags guy for the most part. Played around with a few other sites here and there but Texags always had the best overall board. I really don't care for all the "So and so sux" or "The guy at this site is an a-hole" that happens at the other sites and sometimes at Texags as well. I just don't give a damn about the drama, I just want good info and information.

Texags really separates itself with the extra content, radio show, and connections within the school. It isn't the best for the latest recruiting gossip though, Looch is far more obsessed with getting it right than getting it fast. I just follow a bunch of folks on Twitter and get most of the other info I would want. I just can only take so much mini drama from 17 year olds anyway, just tell me when they are committed and what they can do.

I've tried all three...

Texags has by far the best bang for your buck. Nobody else puts out close to the volume of content. Yes, there are a lot of annoying little cocksuckers on the premium board and Liucci is a douche, but they do nice work. I will say that it gets old watching Liucci prance around like he is God's gift to college football, though. He tries to talk football when he really should just stick to recruiting. Half the posters on that site know the actual game of football better than he does.

247 is solid for recruiting but Taylor Hamm and Aubrey Bloom are truly unbearable human beings. Also, a lot of people argue that they actually hurt our recruiting efforts because they obssessively tweet, seek out and borderline harrass recruits. Bloom went on Finebaum a while back and absolutely got dressed down, making A&M look horrible in the process.

Rivals absolutely blows dick in every way imaginable, no other way to put it.
