I don't see how ON3, 247sports, and Rivals are going to stay in business

There is absolutely zero reason to pay money for information about recruiting right now in the NIL era. I actually feel sorry Shea, Sonny, and whoever runs the rivals site. It's not their fault but I can't see this industry lasting.

LSU must have the worst recruiting insiders in the industry. They never see anything coming. Count you along for $10 a month telling you all is well while other teams insiders are predicting our recruits flip.

I don't even think it's as much as they are getting bad info. I think it's just these recruits and their shady families playing these school off each other for the biggest pay day in the final hours. In the NIL era these recruits are not held accountable for their choices until they flop and they see the reality of their short term choices.

I'm right on board here. I canceled my 247 earlier this year after being with both on3 and 247, having 2 just made less and less sense. Today i put in my cancellation with on3.

Again, its not the mods/content, it's just the completely unpredictable nature of NIL now. Whats the point in following recruiting when at the 11th hour a team can swoop in and offer money you cant match and they flip despite saying literally everything that they "shut down their recruitment" "arent taking other visits" "signing with us" etc etc etc

It's utter insanity to care about that anymore when all it takes is a big enough bag to change their mind and throw everything else aside they cared about previously

Hayes Fawcett plays both sides. Let the kids pay him to make the photos instead of you.

They need to start making their pics based on what team wants them along with school's NIL strength. Odds of signing with school based off NIL strength

I think it's such a free for all that no one legitimately knows what a kid will do until it happens.

BK said all indications were that Daniels would be back next year a week ago and he's in the portal today.

Twitter made them all obsolete unless you like seeing a hype train and a collection of stats and video clips in one place.

It is a combination of LSU's insiders getting worked and this football program being grossly mismanaged now for the last five years.

Orgeron went full shrimp boat after the natty and Brian Kelly used us for his golden parachute. the lack of attention to detail provided by the coaches we've paid millions is truly astonishing.

Orgeron's recruiting was shite. Hence 2020 and 2021. Talked big, produced little.

LSU being left at the alter on signing day became much more common when this program began to move backwards. Sure we can improve our NIL situation but winning goes a long way.

Recruiting websites have been turning out bullshite for years. I can't believe anyone would ever pay for that crap anyway

They are absolutely obsolete now. It’s all pay for play.

Is Billy Embody out of the business or just doing something else in the business?

As for recruiting sites, I cancelled my On3 sometime during the first quarter of this year and I don't miss it.

I wouldn't worry about this industry too much. Shannon Terry is probably already planning his next site (he started all three of those sites).
