re: Ground Rules?

You have varying opinions on that, though the consensus is a 247 vs Texags battle. The other sites are just miles behind.

My opinion is for speed and volume of sheer recruiting info 247 is superior. They have more national resources and they throw out more rumors and conversations. I've never been a member at 247 outside of the trial but I see the value. I just have a limit to how much I care about what 17 year old kids are thinking about outside of when they are serious about committing. I do follow some of their guys on Twitter and keep tabs on it but 95% of the time the value is if Hamm posts something a few hours before Texags. That has real value, I just don't care that much.

Texags has far better quality of content in pretty much everything else. They have a large staff and very high quality production. They also have far better contacts inside of A&M (esp on the AD level). Texags is also much larger in every way, lots more forums and posters with several different "personalities". Rivalries vs Football vs Premium vs Varsity all are different.

Lots of folks subscribe to both and that's not bad as well. Just depends on what you like. There are certainly folks that HATE Texags and those who will defend Texags to the death.
