Is it just me, or has that site sucked the last 12 mos? There is no scoop, no inside reports, nothing. It used to be awesome before, but now - nothing.
Am I the only one who feels this way?

My problem with the site came when their people made Culliver out to be a combo of Jerry Rice and Carl Lewis after he caught two passes in an allstar game and ran a few 100 meter dashes with an average of around 11.1 prior to signing with USC.

member for 13 months but I have really enjoyed it...Ard has some really good insight and he seems to be right on about a lot of things...I agree with you though on rivals' rating systems.....I'm not sure but when Culliver was committed to N.C. State I believe he was a 3 star....then with his speed and then the two catches and he is a five star.....Don't get me wrong, I wish we would have landed him but that rating seems a little weird.

that assessment is the rivals network in general, not TigerIllustrated or Cris Ard.
I agree that rating Culliver a top receiver prospect in the nation without catching many passes in a game situation is ridiculous.

I think it is a great site. Been a member for several years. I honestly don't see any drop off. They break almost every commitment story before other services and get valuable insight into the football program. Where it is lacking is the chat and non-football coverage.

First Its Down Time so how much do you expect

You generally get 2-3 new stories a day and that is generally 2-3 more than the other 2 sites provide.
They have the best recruiting info and seem to be closest to the coaching staff.
I am sure that it could be better, but is obviously the leader imho, out of the 3.

Doesn't make your opinion invalid or wrong, but most people believe it's the best option available. To be fair, it's the only place I've ever paid for recruiting info. So I can't say I know what all is out there, but I liked what I saw when I tried it out and have been a member for the two years since. Guess when you are satisfied you don't have to keep shopping. just my rambling .02

What's wrong with you?? lol I know Roy & Brett Jenson were squeezed out by the staff for obvious reasons, but I think Chris Ard is still well connected.

he got into his last lovers quarrel with Korncoot and Korncoot painted the picture that he was a booster contacting recruits since he was in IPTAY or something several years ago. I can't remember the whole deal, and in reality is was a little obsurd, but it seems like Clemson distanced themselves from him some.
Basically he still gets a lot of good info, but he does not have the same info pipeline that he used to have.
