Which of the TOS's has the best premium board? Maybe none of them are worth the money with the way Twitter has become so popular and so much free stuff available including the great work Jon does on this site.

Don't you know by now
that our trusted leader Jon
makes recruiting gold

Used to be a member on Hawkeyereport. Not worth the10 bucks a month for info that you would find out a few hours or minutes later anyway. Jon does great write ups here with opinion free. Can't stand the fluff that Kakert comes up with. He will never offer any critism even when things went horribly south under Lick.

those sites are slowly going the way of the dinosaur. and reporters are careful not to get blackballed from ft kinnick. kirk has admitted that he reads what's out there, and appears to be the type to hold a bit of a grudge.

on HI i got banned for posting about Clemmons getting a offer. i guess the Mods didn't like their non paying members knowing about the offer until they were ready to tell them

I was a member on both rivals and scout for several years, mostly to follow recruiting and get inside info.

The inside info aspect across the board has pretty much dried up due to the sites being seen as legit media now a days. Admins can't really post what they are hearing like they could several years ago. There are a few posters at each place that provide info, but not a lot.

So that leaves recruiting, and think rivals has better iowa coverage and national coverage. I like Rob and think he does a good job, but I didn't find myself visiting the scout site much over the past year, so I cancelled my annual subscription in October.

I'm curious to see how the 24/7 site does, they seem to have a focus on recruiting, which I think is key if they are going to make it.

HN is the Egg McMuffin of Hawkeye boards. Why would you need anything else?

[eveningnewsteam]

Unless you want to know how the recruit's meal was at Texas Roadhouse or how breakfast was at Ferentz house on Sunday morning, its not worth it.

the thing i hated about HR, was this fall when they had info on how a recruit was doing during the HS season they kept it premium, which is sad because if some one had the areas paoer the kid played in you could read it for free online

sausage mcmuffin with egg is better.

The HR mods are quick to delete a post (or entire thread) on the free boards if you post any recruiting info before they do.

No. Way.

247 sports has a lot more frequent recruiting updates than HawkeyeReport, plus the added bonus that their articles don't read like something a 12 year old would write.

The best thing about premium boards is that trolls are almost non-existent. I wish Jon would create an invite-only board that would be highly regulated to minimize what accounts for 90% of the highjacked threads and minimizes the "moped" posts.

He could call it the Hawkeyenation Grown-up Board.

iahawk72, I like that idea!
