No idea what insider access is like, but the addition of the composite ranking and the prediction thing is pretty cool. I'd want to jump on that bandwagon if I was looking for a service because it definitely seems like they're trying hardest right now
The recruiting part of Wolverine 247 is good along with the tools that you mentioned above.
Since the started that website from scratch, they don't really have anyone who is an insider reporting on the team.
247 is all fluff
What kind of paysite? Are we talking about sports or porn, because I only have a helpful opinion on one of those topics...
...and it's the porn one.
paying for porn is like paying for recruiting information. It works, but you can find anything you want within about five minutes anyway...
ps. youporn.com is the best IMHO but I am sure there are those who disagree...
I am currently paying for ESPN, Scout and Rivals and used to have a 247 account.
If you want information as to what the staff is thinking Scout is #1 and it isn't even close (then Rivals and ESPN and 247 just give you guesses you could come up with regarding what the staff is thinking). If you want interviews of the kids all are about the same.
I value most the insider information and let's face it Sam Webb is the best. At Scout you are paying for Sam Webb. Their website design will soon be updated.
My recommendation is that you go with Scout if you are truly looking for insider information.
The good:
Best insider: Scout (Sam Webb)
Best format: 247
Best community: Rivals (their commenters know the most / have the most "connections")
Best price: ESPN (and you get TomVH)
The bad:
Worst mods: Rivals (lost A LOT when Helmholdt took the Midwest job)
Worst format: Scout
"All flash, no depth": 247
Worst rankings: ESPN (historically)
Gun to my head I say go with Rivals.
How about we get another comment saying that it's not worth paying for a subscription and to get all your info here at mgoblog. There hasn't been enough comments like that yet.
Heh, I am both surprised and bummed that multiple people beat me to making a "brazzers" joke.
