Should 247 Sports be in the same breath as Rivals and Scout?

What say you?

My personal hierarchy:

1. Rivals
2. Scout
3. Nothing (maybe 247?)






18. ESPN Recruiting

Ole Miss fans just don't like 247 because their site sucks and they have a clown (Mr. David) running it.

Most other SEC fans will tell you 247 is the best in the biz they are slowly putting Rivals out of buisness.

How anyone in their right mind can take ESPN recruiting seriously is beyond me.

Tennessee's rivals site is better than the 247 site though.

For Auburn I prefer Scout mainly because their mods aren't clueless douchecanoes.

247 is #1 by far.

I am a big rivals guy this year. I feel like they have really stepped it up this year in their player evaluations and team rankings.

Our 247 fan site is crap. Our insiders don't know a damn thing.

If we are talking about national recruiting services, anyone who follows it seriously pretty much looks at 247 and Rivals, but Rivals is nothing like it used to be.

Independent team coverage varies, but the ability of the site to properly evaluate recruits on a national level is what's important. 247 does the best job currently.

Scout and ESPN are a joke.

Scout shouldn't even be listed as a furball hacked up by a cat, IMHO

247 is so much better than scout and marginally better than rivals right now. Can be way better than rivals as it continues to develop database.

My favorite part of 247 is their interest gauging actually has some balls. If I were to go off of Rivals, I would think SMU and Georgia Tech had the same chance of getting Fournette as LSU.
