Honestly, what can Billy, Shea, and the 24/7 guys be doing all day? Do you really think they're pounding the phones with the Duncanville coaching staff? Think they're texting the family, teammates, or local barbers? They're just taking fluff interviews with Guarantee Media and surfing various recruiting boards just like the rest of us.
There's little to no incentive for family, friends, or coaches of these blue-chip recruits to tip the recruiting sites, or any journalists, about the likely destinations of these players. Especially with NIL in play, secrecy only drives up the monetary offers, meaning there's a bigger piece of the pie for the inner circles of these athletes.
I thought $1 for On3 was a steal. Now it appears its priced in appropriately for the "insight" that's provided.

I'm sure they work hard doing what they can but I've noticed it seemingly more since NIL than in the past that with the access to information via podcasts, tweets, instagram and youtube, it's tough to justify paying for message board info you get from a variety of other sources.
I also understand the rock and hard place that guys like Billy and Shea are in. If they leak info and "ruin a kid's moment", they won't get information moving forward. If they don't, however, present early inside information to their subscribers, then what are their customers really paying for?

I think Crown on here might put in more work for free than those guys get paid to do. I wonder what the pay over at On3 is these days
