Recruiting services

[C N Red]

I know it's been talked about plenty but I just wanted to make sure this is correct, as this is what I believe anyhow.

 

Rivals and 247 I believe are the best recruiting services as far as high school football recruiting goes. We will give them both 5 stars.

 

ESPN I believe to be about 2.5 stars.

 

Scout I believe to be about 1.5 stars.

 

Is this kind of how everyone else sees it?? Speed, Crewe, EZ??

Rivals - Still the best recruiting service and most up to date

247 - Starting to gain a solid reputation (at least in my book). Pretty up to date and offers team's targets and their interest level.

ESPN - Has nice viewing appeal, but isn't up to date.

Scout - Terrible viewing appeal, but slightly more up to date than ESPN.

1. Rivals

2. 247

3a. EPSN

3b. Scout

 

Scout and ESPN are as equally as bad, rivals is by far the best when it comes to rankings and other services.

Scout and ESPN are far better for basketball recruiting. That is their strength.

 

247 is growing on me. I like their format, as it is something new compared to Rivals. Still like Rivals as numero uno.

 

Scout is just so slow with their updates, late to the party, has a format my six year old would set up, has evaluators that make my five year old look like Albert Einstein.......DAMN IT. Who is now the asshat that got me thinking about Scout????? God they suck.

Can a anyone explain the team rankings on 247? More based on the number of recruits comitted?

[MinnwiscowaSker]

I actually think Scout has a clean look and feel to it, easy to navigate, but they're typically way behind on any update other than a kid actually verballing.

Rivals is definitely unmatched. Haven't spent a ton of time on 247 but when I do their ratings seem to be close to what rivals puts out. Scout ratings are crap, so are espn's. ESPN hit the nail on the head with Michael Rose this year though.

 

One nice thing about scout is you can see all the official visit dates/names without having a membership.

Rivals didn't have anyone familiar with mid-west recruits for a very long time.

 

If your idea of accurate means SEC guys pumping SE players then sure they're the tops.
