My thirst for CF requires more info (LSU specific). Not to start a bashing, but whats the consensus? What about ESPN? Thanks!
Options: Tigerbait (Rivals) TigerSportsDigest (Scout) TigerRag (ESPN) For overall college sports/recruiting news, Rivals is best (and their layout is way better as well). For LSU-specific information, TigerSportsDigest kills Tigerbait. It's a polar difference between the two site owners. Sonny (TigerSportsDigest) is passionate, nice & wants to make his customers happy. Mike S (Tigerbait) is a prick who'd rather review movies than get info to customers. He's losing a whole lot of subscribers, including the insiders that often gave better info than him. Mike also posts BS stories to drum up interest (like Janzen Jackson being a soft commit, when he was completely solid). TigerRag is the wildcard. Currenty many of their articles are free, presumably as a way to attract attention as they are newly affiliated with ESPN. I really like ESPN's player descriptions, but this feature is free. Some of the recruiting articles on there have been very good & included info that wasn't on either Scout or Rivals, but one in particular about LSU's team was filled with so many mistakes that it was disgusting to believe someone got paid to write it.
What he said. Mike S. (Rivals) recently announced he's hired a new writer to cover LSU sports (i.e. non-recruiting news) - perhaps that will pick up the pace and improve content. I hate Scout's layout, but their content is crushing Rivals right now.
It won't help overall. Mike answers maybe 1 out of 10 questions posted in the recruiting forums, whereas Sonny answers almost every question posed on his site. Major difference. And Mike S. has no people skills, like Parso says. I have never seen someone so humble as Sonny is on his site.
In my perfect world Sonny will move to Rivals. It pains me to read that terribly designed board (layout), but for LSU news Scout is better. Then again you could just buy both.
Wise choice going with TSD. I really wish the Scout national database was better though but the LSU specific content is just too good to pass up.
