Recruiting and Sports sites to avoid

I had to learn the hard way when my bleacher report thread had a record breaking 41 downvotes and counting.
To save people time from misleading information and troubled "
" thoughts on the RB, post any website you think is just a waste of someones time reading either because they're site is biased or there info sucks or they're just no name people making stuff up. It would help the RB.
Also as an extra, if there's a legitimate site but a certain writer that is horrible or biased, post him or her too. Thanks

I won't write off Br just yet. They are a 247 affiliate and sometimes have great articles if they are written by pros. now, the articles by fans are awful.

Espn. How bout don't believe everything you hear. And read the article not the headline

ESPN is decent IMO when it comes to articles on facts, now there predictions make me wonder sometimes where they get there info from. Example Lorenzo Carter: ESPN is predicting him to go to florida on there hot board, where as 247 has him 2% florida and 93% Bama. And I put my faith in 247 way more than ESPN

well B/R gets interviews with the players and go out to these events and training facilities. They bring up a lot of unknown prospects who are sleepers or just not getting the recognition they deserve.
The recruiting staff they have do the exact same things as 247, Rivals, Scout and ESPN do. I've already told you it was a comparison article to the first one he did with LSU. Usually he does one with all the ones in the recruit's top list and does the positives and negatives. I really don't know why he separated them this time.
He wasn't picking a winner and from his previous articles he has LSU taking the whole enchilada of top talent in Louisiana. These are the same people who got the Hootie video that has him saying he wears #7 because of Patrick Peterson.

Good point. It's starting to sound like you're taking a gamble when reading anyone's opinion based article. Only facts are realistic.

at the down votes for the OP! And I would say Greg Doyell pretty much writes anything that is going to incite outrage. He picks a figure head or player that a large group of people may hate and pretty much bashes that person. He's a terrible writer and if I see it is written by Greg then I won't give him a hit on his page or articles. HE'S A MEGADOUCHE! BR is bad when it's some random fan's opinion. You just gotta read through, if it sounds crazy then I wouldn't post it to the RB because you'll just start getting down votes and get thread raped.

whats urks me is when a headline says positive and the article says negative I hate liars

B/R takes too much of a bad rap these days. They've actually built a legitimate site if you stick to their actual reporters and paid folks and not all the stupid fan articles.
