Is a web of info and deep contacts because he doesn't bs and has integrity ina field where there isn't much of it. Recruits, coaches and families trust him.
I've only used rivals/thewolverine for the past 15 years. The Helmholdt/Balas combo was money. When helmholdt left maybe six or so years ago, it was a serious decrease in quality and quantity with Sull. The new kid they brought it to replace Sull, Brandon Justice seems to be a major step up already. CB for basketball has always been solid in my opinion.
Honestly though, most of the "article" info gets over here in summary form. I mostly like the pay sites for the message board tidbits from insiders and ITF.
247 provides the best football recruiting information but I think Rivals cover basketball and the other sports better.
