Stop Paying for Recruiting Sites, They’re Useless

Recruiting sites are a waste of money. In the NIL and transfer portal era, they have no real insight or influence. Pay-for-play deals and last-minute flips mean no one knows what’s happening behind the scenes not even the so called insiders.

The recruiting landscape has changed completely, and these sites haven’t kept up. Rankings are irrelevant when players jump ship for better deals, and the portal reshapes rosters overnight. Stop funding outdated speculation unless you like charity. They don’t know anything you can’t figure out yourself or here on this site.

Wonder how long it takes before Chicken takes this down because Lester or Shea asks him to

Everything you said is 100% true. Those sites are nothing more than bait for clicks

This is exactly how they sell subscriptions

Night before
“X recruit is definitely signing with LSU.”

Next morning
“X recruit is definitely signing with LSU”

By lunchtime
“X recruit hasn’t signed yet, but everything’s going okay and it will be LSU”

By evening
“TOTAL SHOCKER, X RECRUIT HAS FLIPPED TO BAMA”

Anyone who pays for that bullshite is a moron. Take that wasted money and waste it on drugs or booze. It’s more productive that way.

The human psyche is interesting.

“It’s useless” yet grown adults have complete meltdowns over it. Lol

It’s the equivalent of getting your news from a pay site or the newspaper. Things change too fast and it’s not any more reliable than any other rumor.

I still remember when Mike Scarborough (think the name is right) promised Joe McKnight was signing with LSU right before he committed to USC.

I quit paying right after that

There’s absolutely no way of verifying that and it really doesn’t matter anyway if they’re wrong when it’s crunch time. If no one else does, Shea absolutely has access to better info than what he’s putting in print and it’s just shitty to be charging people for half-assed open-ended info.

It’s very obvious that these guys either know nothing or they’re being neutered by the staff. Either way, total waste of time and money for a poor man’s TD
