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.

247 as a whole is the best for rankings, national coverage, etc.
then rivals. I think Scout is the worst in this area.

For team coverage, it just depends. I like both 247 and Rivals for UGA info. ESPN does a nice job covering UGA as well.

Oh, I know all MSU fans love 247 due to the Chris Jones ranking.

I was pondering adding that to the OP

Kid is going to be a 5 star across the board after his performance last week.

I assume he'll be at 6.0 4-star on Rivals or some shite, which would obviously be a huge bump.

I guess he'll be a Scout 5-star bc they give out more 5s...

I made this thread kind to see what everyone uses re: recruiting sites.

As always, I HTH.

This. 247 has the pioneers in the industry running the show, and they've pretty much gone out and hired everyone from the other sites that they wanted. There is a reason those people have gone to that site - and it isn't just because they pay more. It's bc they do it best and have the best potential long-term as a business.

I think 247 is becoming the top dog in football recruiting.

For Ole Miss coverage I'll take Rivals though. The recruiting info is still pretty good, and the Ole Miss site's baseball coverage and analysis is second to none.

I saw that- I always wondered why more sites didn't mix JUCOs with HS players... it's all the same.
