And that’s all she wrote for 247. They had a good run. First rivals now them.

On3 also has LSU the highest rated out of the 3. All aboard the ON3 train

247 is dead. Shannon Terry is the king of recruiting. Dude just makes a new recruiting site every 10 years, builds it into the best and then sells.

When will Chicken update the recruiting profiles with a link for their On3 player profile pages?

All recruiting sites are scams. Just get a Twitter page

It really is amazing that absolutely no one even mounts a challenge to him. His model continues to repeat itself, rise and fall, with every step. Hard to imagine anyone dominating their business competition at the level he does. Even the massive budgets at Yahoo and CBS couldn't thwart him(did they really try?). It's impressive.

Great pickup by On3. Wiltfong was the #1 player in the portal.

On3 in their short time already has way better YouTube content than 247 ever did which is where I like to get my recruiting info. I’m all for for this shift

it's a lot easier for them to acquire a pre built machine than to start their own from scratch. I remember the guy who made the oculus rift and sold the company to Facebook (although I think part of the deal was for him to still be the product manager).

Yeah because if it was solely about recruiting, it would get boring fast. They took the Josh Pate idea from CBS, and have 2 shows like that running on their channel. They have also started a recruiting channel last year that strictly focuses on recruiting.
