Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

Not trying to be clever or anything. No real news is broke here. Its a great board for talking about things but when someone comes on here and asks, "has anyone heard or know anything about such and such" they basically are asking, "has anyone paid a subscription to Rivals/Scout/ESPN and have they read anything they said about how things are going?"

C4Qs is awesome. Lots of activity and lots of views, but one thing that DOESNT happen here is reporting and thats fine, so DT dont get all huffy and puffy about me saying what this place actually is.

I subscribe to Scout and I think it's hilarious how people bitch about having to pay but then bitch when no one comes racing over to post all the goodies and such.

I don't think the difference in time between what is broke on the pay sites vs when it makes it here justifies (in my mind) me paying for one of the other sites. I've payed for both of DT and ED and I'm happy with this board. I think these guys have a great site here.

I understand the relationship between the recruiting sites, but I am ardently opposed to keep information from people. I don't believe anybody "owns" information, it should be available to all. To me, these post-visit reports are all the same

Recruit: I had a "insert synonym for awesome" time visiting Eugene and the facilities were "i.s.f.a." The fans were "i.s.f.a." and I had a "i.s.f.a" time.

The only real news is when a guy committs, at which point we play the waiting game until signing day.

Go to a pay site and read.

Awesome Walls is a beast, and seems like a very quality character kid too.

Without the pay sites this info would never get out though because there would be no incentive for people to seek out the athletes and get the information. I mean sure there would be the occasional update but without the pay sites they would be far and between.

How about the incentive of loving your team and being interested in knowing whats going on. How about after getting inside information being able to share that with other people who appreciate your effort and news. Great if you can turn a buck but I'm perfectly fine waiting for the official. The cruddy part is that until they actually sign it doesn't even matter. We should be grateful that we have people who have done a pretty good job putting together a site where we don't have to pay to come talk about our team. Otherwise I'd just be stuck over on CBS or something.

Someone named UOducksTK1 posted that response to the article. So purely speculating here, but it sounds like we have a good shot at Walls.
