I've had Rivals before but not Scout. Is Scout any better? Which one has better LSU reporters/information? Which one would you reccomend?

Neither worth paying for.

Are you kidding me.
Dude, the answer is Scout. And by the way, it is different for every school. Depends on who the guy running it is.
For instance, as far as LSU goes, their scout site run by Sonny Shipp and Shea Dixon are excellent. They give you up to the minute information.
Rival's LSU site won't give you up to the minute info, but you will get grade A movie reviews.

No problem, I have been a member of both, LSU's rivals site is hot garbage and most on here will tell you that. You will be VERY satisfied with Scout's site.

247 is the best.....the original founders of Rivals started this early in 2011...have the best writers by far...

I was wondering about them too. What is their LSU site? Do their writers have good inside sources? Have you tried Scout as well?
How are the message boards there? Are all 3 about the same?

I disagree. This original Guy is a bama grad, is a bama homer, and the site navigation blows. They dont even have an lsu site yet as well. 247 is good at reporting propaganda to get people talking and buying subscriptions, similar to rivals in the past and espn from a mainstream perspective.
Bottom lime: for insider content, go with Scout and for Player rankings, rivals is king. Shea and sonny from lsu's scout site don't report garbage like 247 to get people talking. They report facts. And after rivals initial rankings were released, scout, and 247 adjusted rankings shortly after and they were strangely close to rivals.

Hands down Scout for LSU coverage. They have the bigger better staff (literally now with Randy). No kidding aside, having him cover the team and Shea cover recruiting really adds more content.
Rivals' LSU coverages is lacking, but their national recruiting coverage is better than Scout.
I try not to put TOO much stock into recruiting rankings, but when I do I usually go with Rivals.

Yea, I couldn't find their LSU site. I thought maybe I was missing it. You're right, their site is difficult to navigate.

Scout for LSU Football! Guys are totally dedicated to getting the latest information, getting it right and giving insight on recruiting. I was a member of rivals at one time, let the subscription go and then got a Scout one. Am keeping the Scout subscription!
