Well, short answer. A new site will be launched tomorrow in care of ESPN. Meaning a website called Duckterritory that is ESPN sponsored will be online. Bac/Tony D. is the moderator/admin of the site. Initially the first month is going to be free, afterwards it will be premium subscription site. I know all the details, I'm part of it, so is Mops. Should be a good site, take advantage of the free month. But keep in mind this site will stay going and remains free. Hope this helps. Visit today I guess, I think you can sign up, but it was mentioned tomorrow was the real launch day.
Can't talk about it on Rivals as it is direct competition.

It will definitely be a HUGE pain in the arse for Scout. Especially with Tony running the Oregon site, as he is pretty well connected. He's assembled some pretty solid insiders including Mops and others. I expect the site to be pretty $$$.

To answer your question nary, I don't know if the site is the same as being an insider. I don't believe so since it's an affiliate site, but you may register and ask Tony on there. He may know.
ESPN is trying to build a site like this one for all the Big schools within a year or so. Will be interesting.

I thought scout already had a recruiting contract with ESPN. I might be mistaken but it seems near end of recruiting cycle they always talking about scout.com I could be mistaken though. I will have to check out the website.

I believe $50/yr was the first projection. I could be wrong, but I believe that was the price point.

Feel free to exchange information between them and ourselves for starters, once it becomes premium we will have to monitor that exchange more closely.

This site will still have my presence. I've been kinda slow here lately but thats not because I haven't wanted to be slow. Just really busy with some personal stuff, the sim league, the new site, and then work.

I will be working for Tony on DucksTerritory but when I can share the info I get I will do it here as well.

**Important reminder**
This site will remain here and free with all of the great information already provided. This is such a great opportunity for Mops, but as mentioned above he will not be abandoning us. Nor will TK-AJ_U, or any other great members. Tony has been gracious with us to share information from time to time and can interact with us to a degree as this site is still free. However the new site is direct competition for Rivals and Scout which he can no longer be a part of. Please check out his new site, but don't be gone for too long. :D

Good news, it sounds like a great opportunity for Mops and everyone else involved, just not for Scout or Rivals lol, until I find a little extra income though, this site is my first stop for anything Ducks related.

I was presented with an opportunity at ESPN and took it. I have absolutely nothing against DSA, A.J. and I are still cool and everything, he's a great guy. I would've been crazy to turn this position down though.

ESPN is taking over in a couple years. Their resources are endless and the evaluations they give are second to none, mostly due to the fact that the people are doing the evals are ex-college/NFL players unlike the majority of rivals and scout. They are still working on a lot of things like their database and such but in a year or two, they will be the top dogs in recruiting.

DT has a great team of insiders and writers so far (including jhop and Mops) and the demand for more articles is almost twice of rivals and scout. I'm planning some big things for the site which should make $50 a year (or $5 a month) a better value than the other options. Plus it'll be more affordable for college students.

If you have any questions about DT, feel free to email me at baciami21@yahoo.com.

As jhop said above, the plans are for the first month or so to be free before it clicks over to subscription so worth a shot.

Duck territory looks great. If I had the money, I'd be signing up right now. Wish the best to tony and the group with the new site.

I hope Ducks Attack (c4q) still stays a float. I still like to think of this as the best free duck site out there.

Hopefully everything works out.

Thanks for the GL!

DT is free until July 1st so no cost to register until then. DA should stay afloat fine.
