Best Premium (PAY) site? Rivals/Scout/Bucknuts?

Hmmm.......in a few weeks I plan on getting a $ account, I'm guessing I should go with Scout instead of Rivals..........any suggestions from those that have them?


Just donate your money to BP instead. You dont really get THAT much from those pay sites. If you want a board that's easy to use, go to ESPN.

Question about the premium Buckeye sites

Of the three primary premium Buckeye websites (Scout, Rivals, Bucknuts) which do you consider the best? Are any of the three actually worth the money to join?

I have been considering joining one of these sites lately, since my appetite for Buckeye news and info seems to be growing with each and every year. But $100 is a lot of money to spend. I know they each have their free trials, but it is hard to really get a good feel for the value in such a short period. I was looking for some opinions from some of you.

For inside info (recruiting intel, closed practice reports, etc), there's no competition, it's scout... Bill Greene & Nevada in particular. This is what drives membership. Not an opinion, it's how it is on every team premium board I've been on, OSU, UM, PSU, etc.

All three sites have pretty good sets of reporters. Scout & Bucknuts seem to have more reporters than Rivals. In terms of volume of interviews, you can't go wrong with any of the three.

Scout has the best network of analysts imo. Rivals has good guys too, but the midwest guys are generally ignored in terms of the national recruiting lists, etc. Scout has Bob L, Allen Trieu, Dave Berk with major presences in the midwest. The guys at rivals do a good job but simply don't get the kind of support from national guys like Bobby Burton. Go read the Mike Adams debacle for a taste of that disconnect.

Bucknuts has scoutingohio.com, which is a great resource, but I believe the videos are free. Gary goes out to a lot of local schools for photos/interviews, more posed shoots on that site.

Rivals has the best multimedia for national recruiting. Their videos & photos tend to be better.
