No because people on those boards share the Pay info as soon as its posted and Tigerdroppings does nothing about it. If they would ban some people IPs then it would stop and be worth it for pay customers but until that stops I wouldnt bother signing up.

It depends what you want. You will get the gist of the news here. If you want lots of in-and-outs I think they are.

I'm part of 2... tigerblitz.com (for basketball) and geaux247.com (for football).

I like both of them. JMO

ads were terrible and nightmare to navigate through

but, i already know what's going to happen there with this now newfound access that they have to the staff.

This is what happens. On this site you will read things like "We are 100% getting Dwayne Haskins" or "Stephen Sullivan will not sign with LSU" and then the pay sites will say "Haskins to Ohio St. and Sullivan will sign with LSU". EasternRio came on here and said we were getting Deandre Christmas Giles last cycle. The pay sites said he wasn't even a take. It goes on and on. The amount of dead wrong information on this board is amazing. Here is an example recently on Austin Deculus
quote:

50/50. He's watching the coaching situation closely. If we retain O depends on how he closes out the season. If we get a big name coach we have a shot.
LINK

This isn't close to being true. Deculus told paid sites in an interview as long as Grimes was at LSU, he would be here. Posters here say something like this and others run with it and for whatever reason it just becomes a fact because some guy just said it. It happens over and over again. Please tell me who wasn't wrong about 5 for 5 btw.

Best $100 I spend every year, or whatever it is. You might see a 10th, maybe, of the information on this website.

These two sentences appear to conflict...

I was a member of a pay site for years. Really didn't have any more reliable info than TD. In reality, it may be that there is no such thing as "inside information" in the way most want.
The coaches aren't talking, the kids are kids and other "sources" don't know squat. Just my take on it.
