I have a 247 account, but only because it comes with the Paramount+ package. I saw Rusty and Jake make the move, makes me wonder if On3 is better than 247. Would really like to hear y'alls thoughts.

I've never really used on3 but I like 247 jsut fine. FYI, it's all the same guy. It kinda blows my mind that one dude just continues to create new sites and people continue to eat it up.

-He co-founded Rivals in 2000.
-That got so big that it was bought out, then he started 247 in 2010.
-247 got so big that it was bought out in 2015, so now he started on3.

I guarantee you that 10 years from now On3 is going to be ancient and some hot cool new recruiting service will pop up, also founded by this guy, that everyone will site as industry standard.

I knew that it was the same guy, it is really crazy that he just continues to do the same. I really like Rusty and Jake more but if it's getting the same content across both then it really doesn't matter.

Shannon Terry has a spinning wheel that turns straw into gold.

I have paramount +.

I didn't know about 247 being a part of it.

Is that standard? Or dependent on where you sign up?

Think it’s a “bundle” thing. Here’s the Paramount site.

I didn’t know about this connection either

On3 is far better. It took all the “talented” insiders and is being run by the founder.

247 was bought by CBS and their content has gone down in quality ever since.

Rusty is the gold standard of info for UGA at least. He and Shannon Terry are close friends and Rusty now owns part stake in On3. On3 has basically taken the NIL angle of football and run with it in such a way that they’re distancing themselves ahead of 247. CBS owns 247 and Yahoo owns Rivals so they’ve both still got cache but On3 is starting to stand out among recruits and coaches as being the standard, both because of their model and the people they’ve managed to bring over from the other sites.

I think Rusty is the owner operator for the UGA website. Not sure if he has a stake in the overall company but he may.

I've been with On3 since Nov '22. Was with Dawgs247 for a few years and did not renew my membership in March. Just my humble opinion, On3 is by far the best when you put it up against Rivals, Dawgpost and Dawgs 247. They were really good with Wes, Palmer and both Jake's. But when Rusty joined On3, that put them way over the top. Plus add Chad Simmons, ... that's a powerhouse lineup.
