Which one if any? Why or Why not?
I have never had a subscription. There's too much free information out there to pay for "insider" articles and whatnot.
I look at it like paying for pron websites...why would you do that? there's so much access to the same stuff for free.
Have you ever read an article and been like... damn I'm glad I'm one of the only ones who will know that little nugget of information?

I'm a Rivals member because the journalist there aren't biased at all towards Ole Miss. They don't care if Ole Miss wins or loses and its hard to find someone that isn't biased in the fan site business.
The reason I pay for it is because I like what they do and I want to support them.

247 because I really like Sonny and Shea. Sure, they are LSU guys but are pretty fair and honest about situations. I also think they have the best rankings and system composite. Some of the other 247 mods like Hamm (aTm) are absolute jokes, Nee (FSU) and Stampini (UF) are homers, so I guess it depends on your team.
Rivals is too in love with Bama. I used to like them, even with the bias, but don't like the LSU guys that much.
Scout has just hit the shitter in general.
ESPN is a joke and even more so with recruiting

You actually give Rivals money for that garbage they put out? I have some old socks you can buy for $25 a pair, seems like your kind of purchase.

I subscribed to Rivals, and whatever Scout was, when they both first started, but haven't subscribed to any since then. Even when I've had free subscriptions to ESPN and 247, I still had no interest in joining, because even though I'm a recruiting junkie, pay sites are a waste of time, imo.

I've had free subscriptions to all of them at one time or another but over all I'd say they are a waste

I subscribe to 247 but you are correct that the Arkansas site is an absolute waste of money. I have no clue how Otis keeps his job with how bad it is. However, I like being able to read all of the other sites articles through the player profiles because I've found I can almost get more info about our recruits that way than depending on Arkansas writers to report on them.
For example, Otis melted down today when a paying member had the audacity to ask him if he had called a recruit to see how his inhome visit went. The whole reaction was beyond lazy. I definitely wouldn't pay money for that site if that was all I got.

247 is the only one worth subscribing to IMO.

The best thing about Otis is Natasha. I check out their board ever so often and she actually seems pretty good. Otis doesn't understand what subscribers are expecting from him, so he obviously fails to deliver it.
