He's a Bengals fan that must be pretty rough till this year... also even if he doesn't cover sdsu football a lot, the west coast guys like Brandon Huffman always have notes on prospects SDSU is going after. I'm paying for a guy to cover football, not to get a national guy's "notes." I can sign up for 247Sports and get that from Adam Gorney. I don't see the incentive to jump from Rivals to Scout yet. Augustin Gonzales at least has football experience. I have gotten more info on SDSU prospects today than I have gotten in last week from rivals.

Augustin has put out four articles in the past week. Three about football and one about basketball. Hell, the Scout site still has the New Orleans Bowl as a big story...

Here is Scott's introduction on the scout forum; Scout SDSU will officially launch April 1st -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My name is Scott Sommer and I will be the publisher for this site. I'm a San Diego native who has written for Northpole Hoops, Recruit Recon, Hoopniks and most recently Coast 2 Coast Recruiting. I have built strong relationships within the basketball community that I'm confident I will bring premium Aztec news to you first. As for football, I have already begun grinding away and have a couple stories ready for the site. I will begin to put articles up on Sunday, April 1st, so bare with me during the week. Thank you to the San Diego State fan base as all of you have greeted me with open arms. I’m blessed for this opportunity and to be part of the Aztec family, I will not take it for granted. If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to ask, I'm more than willing to answer them. You can find me on twitter: scottsommer41 Now lets get this message board going and start having some fun!

Having two websites competing against each other to provide us info on our Aztecs is great news. A rising tide lifts all boats.

He just tweeted out a teaser about a football player we have offered. I had not seen this player mentioned by other sites. 4/1 his contract starts and you'll get football stuff. We have to support these sites, it helps with recruiting. These guys chase down recruits and it makes sdsu look big time. I will subscribe to both sdsu scout and rivals.

I think there are moral issues with huge conglomerates charging to hear the words of a minor; but, it certainly is a signal of where we are as a program that the recruiting message board complex is paying attention - a lagging or leading indicator is the issue.

I'm very happy with Augustin over at Rivals. IMHO he is a better "writer" than EL; however, EL was a tireless worker and I hope he returns to report along with Augustin.
