I've been seeing 247 Sports popping up a lot, and SI.com seems to be using them almost exclusively lately. I read where it was the owners of Rivals that started the site. Why start up a competitor? Anyone know anything about the service?

 
I went to the 247 home page to check it out and scrolling down the page I noticed the Recruit database section. The Picture of a profile they show says vid santos. It looks like david santos pretty sweet

Yeah I noticed that, but then I remembered that David Santos isn't white haha

 
Knew this thread was here somewhere, as of midnight Huskers Illustrated is moving over to 247, Aaron and Mike Babcock will be moving over there, but Sean Callahan, John Talman and the rest of the staff will stay at Rivals for now, presumably to fill their contracts. I think Rivals Florida and North Carolina groups are headed over also. Rivals may be in serious trouble.

 
It's done.

HuskersIllustrated is now nebraska.247sports.com and nebraska.rivals.com is now HuskerOnline.com

Looks like Sean Callahan and John Talman are now running the Nebraska Rivals site.

Mike and Aaron are good guys, but Sean Callahan and John Talman are top notch.

It's not pulling up on my computer, says page doesn't exist yet. So now who's on top? HO, HI or BRR? Bet scout really hurts from this, luckily for them ESPN piggybacks off their writers.

I would say HuskerOnline with John Talman, Sean Callahan and the crew.

HI and 247 have a head of steam, they picked up a TON of sites tonight,

The new sites at 247 were online for a bit, but are back down now.

Think 7 sites went over tonight...

Nebraska, Indiana, Florida, Kentucky, Iowa, North Carolina and Florida State.

But it looks like most of them were split, the Rivals employees stay and will run their own sites and the independants are moving over to 247. I've I said, I think Rivals still has the best Husker staff.

 
Okay, I think this cleared it up for me now. I wasn't sure who went where, but now I'm good. I guess I'll just keep my stuff on HI.com, or now HuskerOnline.com. I like John, Sean and the guys.

The biggest drawback from that though is the fact that Yahoo and Rivals are WAY behind the times as far as their website goes. Their message board format is sh#t and the fact that you get a virus from RSS about once a month is also a pain in the a$$.

I wish John and the guys would have gone to 247Sports.com

They have mentioned that upgrades are coming, so that should be interesting. I could just be stupid, but I can't find how to view a members profile or search the forums at 247 yet, pretty basic features to be missing if they actually are. This is still, by far, my favorite place to discuss Husker Football, but I do also enjoy reading the articles that John and Sean put out, and some of the posters at RSS.
