Scout rivals or 24/7 (maybe ESPN)? my free trial finished up, i wont say which one to remain nonbiased but i'd like to stay in the know rather than just reading this message board (i know you guys will miss me). only things i really want are getting good balance in bball & fball content to keep me happy and quick quality responses from the staffs whenever i ask ?'s. Who do you recommend? surf the spear isn't cutting it for me LOL!

Rivals is probably your best bet.
Scout is really good for football but the scout Aztec site us run by a basketball guy so there's more basketball coverage.
Rivals had let their west coast coverage slip after the 247 split but they just recently added another west coast analyst so I expect that to begin to improve again. That and Agustin and Ruben do a really good job covering both sports.
247 is the best for football but they don't have an Aztec site so SDSU specific coverage sucks.
this is all IMHO of course.

wow i thought 247 had someone out here. any chance they expand here soon?
and thanks do you use both? i'm not really sure why you said rivals is best if you said scout is really good for football and run by a basketball guy that sounds like the best of both worlds.
i like seeing them break stuff on twitter but who is the best behind the scenes/pay wall if that is a good way to put it

I use both but am leaning towards dropping Scout, especially if Rivals' additional west coast coverage pans out. Scout has really good west coast football/basketball analysts but the SDSU specific guys seem to focus more on basketball. Behind the pay wall if you want more basketball stories, sign up with Scout. Rivals seems like a pretty good mix with a bit of a football slant.

I hear you on the football stuff. At Scout, we are making a concerted effort to have our football coverage catch up to our basketball coverage.
In the past week, we've conducted interviews with four football recruits. I realize that we need to improve upon that number.
We're trying to produce as much quality SDSU content as possible. If anyone has other concerns regarding the content on Scout, please voice them on this board. We will do our best to cater to our audience.

Are you the publisher? Scout is pretty ceap Not sure how to take that... But I help out as a staff writer. I mainly interview football recruits and write up pieces on them. Scott Sommer is the publisher, and he is always on the road checking out basketball and football camps.

No worries--I thought you meant crap since the "e" is next to the "r." I'm a fan of the coverage on Rivals, but I believe that we have a pretty good thing going on at Scout. We are constantly trying to improve upon what we are doing, and we really take criticism to heart because we want to inform fellow Aztecs' fans the best we can.
