They've got that Curtis dude to do all the shite/grunt work that nobody will read.
It's the old newspaper trick of covering press Conferences then pawining it off as an interview filled with quotes... When all you had to do was watch the 10 min presser and actuary hear the audio.
The only reason publications do this is to fill space. No one reads that shite snd it just takes up space. It's worthless, but they've got to find something for homeboy to do because they're probably paying him a whopping $29K to do the job, while Biddy reaps all the sub profits.... Which, from what I can tell have made him quite rich.
What gets me is that, without 247's brand and all other recruiting sites being total dogshit now, the site kind of sells itself, along with the daily used car salesman pitch on Drive Time every day.
There's really nothing appealing about West or Biddy. They actually both seem like total pricks to me, but the rest of the traditional Arkansas media is so atrocious at that they are really the only options.
The posters on the 247 message board bring more news than the entire writing staff. That's not good. That's not how it's supposed to work.

quote:100% correct. I've read plenty of wholehogsports and other Razorback media articles and it's just the press conference regurgitated with some historical context splashed here and there.

This is why Bob Holt asks 1000 questions and most of them have nothing to do with the actual game. "So... how did it feel to play the school that your middle school math teacher rooted for?" Holt is mining for fluff so he can provide content.
I do give some respect to Andrew Hutchinson and Matt Jones (wholehogsports/ADG) because they actually do a little bit of leg work and cover the lesser viewed sports when nobody else will.
EVERYBODY is better than Wally Hall.

I like to read the summary the audio is such hot garbage in those videos you never hear the question and barely can make the answer

Holt is trying to do feature stories on a coach or player by using a 30 second answer to one of his shite questions. It's incredibly annoying. I actually loathe Holt.
Instead of asking shite like "why is Scott Fountain still the ST coach" and "Why does the team still have such issues with finishing" that would get actual interesting answers, you get the usual dogshit from the Yankee Holt.

Anyone asking legit questions would quickly find themselves without credentials. Unless the admin actually wanted the coach to feel heat.
You can always tell when the AD has turned on the coach. Wally usually gets permission to fire the first salvo. Crony bullshite.

247 is trash as is Danny West. I'd like to punch that dipshit in his glasses.
spot on
Him and Biddy both, but mostly West, were all over that BS "turn the roster over for Chaggy" bullshite for the last two years just to gain clicks. Literally rooting for kids to get kicked off the team so they could stir up more drama for the Fantasy Football mentality dipshits. We literally had tons of a-hole Chaggy fans rooting for players to quit and/or be kicked off.
Screw that little punk Danny West

Don't forget the yearly secret recruit in December.

I did the same recently and don't regret it. The only issue I have found is it doesn't include sec alt and the login on espn doesn't include it either via youtube as a provider. I had to get crafty to watch the msst game.
You're doing something wrong then. I watch every SEC Network+ game on the ESPN app with my YoutubeTV login with no problem.
