What good info did paysite members have?

[karlhungis]

I know that paysite members are privy to all of the inside scoop before anyone else. So I was wondering what they knew that the miserable basterds that don't pay for the info weren't.

I know that pay site members were certain we would land Easley.
I know that they were confident about King... and then they weren't.
I know that they thought we would get a huge surprise out of left field that "no one was talking about"... which didn't happen.

So what did they get for their money this year? Seems like they just pay for the privilege to get false rumors earlier than the rest of us or am I missing something?

The only items from paysites I can think of that the "insiders" may have actually had over us non-paying bastards would be the reason Kings offer was pulled and that the suprise was Eric Dungy. Outside of that, I feel this board has as much real info as the pay sites do. Which is the reason I do not pay for "inside" information. They are just as full of specualation and mis-information as everyone else is.

Eh, I could be wrong though.

Don't forget they got the LOI updates about 30 minutes earlier than everyone else.

Except for the fact that ESPN was announcing all of the LOI's for the other schools so we knew who was defecting (looking at you McCain) and who we were missing out on (Werner, Owa, Easley...etc). I guess getting the LOI info 1/2 early is fine and all but it isn't quite as nice when the surprise is taken out of it. Then again, I had to sleep through it all and maybe it was more beneficial than it appeared to me.

[Boom]

They might get information a few hours sooner than the rest of us, but it usually makes it way around the internet within 24 hours.

Dungy was the surprise? They had it hyped up like it was a 4 or 5* guy out of the blue.

[TualatinDuck]

Im not saying Dungy was the suprise, Im just saying that Eric Dungy could have been the only out of the blue suprise they may have had an inside track on. The point being, they really didnt have any special or "inside" information that we didnt know about.

Yeah, I don't get that either. Everyone knew Dungy was visiting and then everyone knew he had an amazing time and thought the experience was top-notch. That put Oregon, at least, in his top 2 if not the top pick. I was not surprised when he chose Oregon, especially since his dad already knows Chip and what kind of man/coach he is.

Heumuli (sp?) was the only surprise, only because all the "premium" sites were saying that Oregon was out of it. So, some were actually paying for bad info...

In the end, your school either gets the players LOI or not... no speculating there.

This was the first year I joined a pay site... I just canceled it. I thought the pay site/board would have good info, but they really didnt. This is the best board by far, even if the info takes an hour/day or two to get here...

So in answer to your question, NONE.

^^^^^

Paying for the paysite(s) is paying to be the first to hear something.

Not all of us are wealthy enough to enjoy such a privileged life.

[vagusnerve]

I don't think anyone knows what's up with King.

I know that they throw out a bunch of stuff in their "chats", but most of it is probably empty speculation and BS, honestly.

More than anything, it seems like they are paying for illusion of knowing something.

Hey, my premium site is great! Worth every penny! I still cant believe we got Owa, Henderson, Powell, Jeffcoat, Lattimore, Baxt--... What??

Yeah, I paid for premium. You get to read a few good articles, but theres no such thing as insider info anymore. Not for very long anyway. Not enough to justify the cost. Oh well, Ill enjoy it for a year then cancel. Nothing against Mops and Jhop, but if you wait little while youll see it on DA.

I paid for 1 month of Scout.com just for kicks. I had both Scout.com forums and chat open on one pc, and the forums/chat for ducksattack.com open on another pc ALL DAY.
There was no difference that I saw. I was getting info faster from the "free" chat on Rivals.com.

Over that last month the difference between scout and ducksattack forums were the SAME. Lots of speculation and a butt load of "my source says". We get the same thing here for FREE! The only thing worth the $$ is to read interviews and watch player video's that are not on Youtube.
