    No doubt that 24/7 is King of PSU Recruiting right now. It's not close.

    But not everyone is a recruiting junkie. Many people find following recruiting to be annoying, and only want to read the list of kids on LOI day.

    It's what you want ... different people like different things. Personally, I'd rather be in tune more-so with the team than recruiting.

    FOS does a great job on actually following & reporting on the players we have, the football program during all 12 months, and the other non-football PSU sports. FOS does a nice job with both hoops teams, womens volleyball, Cael's wrestling program, etc. You cant even find that stuff on 24/7 - it's not Fitz's focus.

    They are both great sites, but clearly have different areas of focus right now.

    Yeah I'd agree with that.

    FOS is fantastic - no one on the beat has better access, more interesting interviews & stories, or provides better coverage 365/coverage of the PSU football program & other non-football sports than Mark Brennan. Brennan is the best in the business with regards to PSU sports.

    Also, the TAP community is the best messgae board of the 3 sites.

    That said, 24/7 is whipping the pants off of the other two sites with regards to recruiting coverage. What Fitz is doing with recruiting news here is very very impressive. 24/7 is by far the best recruiting board for PSU, especially now with Qhourrhiey in the mix.

    I'll keep my FOS membership - its still the best overal site - it's "okay' to be a member at more than one board.

    BWI? That's just a clown show. . . . I can't believe people pay for the Wig's "news" ...BWI is junk.

    You must be related to him or have an ownership stake FOS because when I was member there I thought their team coverage was even behind BWI. As for the coverage of other sports I would say 24/7 has better basketball coverage and is the only one covering hockey and BWI has the best wrestling coverage.

    As for the boards it not even close between 24/7, FOS and BWI. BWI is full over the top homers and FOS has a bunch of know it all douches.

  • Dumped BWI years ago. Have been a faithful FOS subscriber for many many years and enjoy them a lot. Just joined 247 with Cory coming on board (good hire). Agree with the comments made about FOS being a good site and getting their teeth kicked in by 247 on recruiting. That's why I joined for a year to see how it goes. I'll maintain both memberships and decide later if both are worth it. I'm enjoying both so far.peace

  • It appears FOS is COPYING the S Zone. HA HA HA HA HA. A sure sign you've arrived is when your competition COPIES what you do.

    I used to belong to all three. Now I'm ex-FOS. I have no idea why, but I'm having a hard time pulling the trigger on quitting BWI. Phil doesn't bother me, he's kind of like comedic relief over there and Nate and Ryan do a good job.

    I'm excited by Cory's imminent addition. I loved his work at FOS, but his frequent disappearences for periods of time made it pretty easy to leave FOS. They really didn't have anybody else providing good PSU recruiting coverage (certainly not Bob, LOL). With Sean here, anything Cory provides is gravy and if he ends up providing a more full time presence here than he did at FOS...this place will be incredible (even more so than it was). I just hope this doesn't lead to Sean taking a less public and more administrative role down the road.

    I echo your opening statement exactly! I haven't cancelled anything yet, but, I've been thinking pretty hard between BWI and FOS. I've been a long-time member/reader of McAndrews old board on PLOTIT, and I do enjoy reading the Lion's Den after a game!

    I'll probably be leaving FOS, and I'm really enjoying the news coming off this site! I don't post as much as other's do, but, I'm a long-time DIEHARD recruiting fan!
