Crump, that depends upon what side of the fence you are on. Because you have someone now covering ASU on Rivals, are they any less of a joke? Not in my book. Both are flawed and have questionable practices.

It's not that. They just don't update things well at all. Information is public for weeks and months many times before they update anything. I don't care if their ratings are different but they just don't seem to work as hard as Rivals.

And that's because you have someone local with Rivals updating your commitments. We have the same with Scout.com, so it all comes down to having someone resonsible covering ASU. Neither network cares about non-bcs programs.

Crump's frustrations here is they didnt research the ASU class. The two QB's mentioned were not signed to play QB. One will play Tight End, and the other Wide Reciever. We didnt sign a QB this class, though we did bring in an invited walk on

The RB scout hyped so much is signed here to play defense, we already have plenty in the offensive backfield, and were simply looking to increase at TE, OL and Defensive backfield. Our strongest part of the class are our offensive linemen

I would suggest that is what the person who runs your team page is for. Most of the coaches aren't giving out information and these sites are only as good as the person running your page and providing the information.

Like a few of us have stated, our respective Scout sites are up to date and we have the latest information. We (fans) knew who the players were that the coaching staffs were recruiting and for what position. We got the inside information on the plans for the kid when he got on campus. Heck, we even got copies of the text messages that the players sent to guys who ran our sites when the confirmed they committed. That is what we pay for to get in the premium threads.

I personally wouldn't drop a dime on the Rivals site because the guy who runs our site doesn't do any work at all. I get more up to date information from our Scout site so, yes, I am partial to Scout.
