Is it worth the money? Thinking about doing the free trial, then possibly subscribing. Do you get that much more than you do just following Paul on twitter and reading info from here?

If you are going to subscribe - 24/7 is the way to go.

Just depends on how much you want to follow recruiting and read feature articles. If you are into recruiting, a pay site is well worth it.

Yes. Absolutely worth the money. Try the trial -- you will never cancel.

Paul is one writer that has absolutely ALWAYS kept MSU's best interest in mind when reporting -- and he sticks with the facts in recruiting info. Makes it incredibly easy and quick to cut through the BS and know what is actually going on...

He has also had good guest writers like Matt Wyatt, Jackie Sherrill, Bart Hyche, etc.

That is what I figured. Ive been following him a few weeks on twitter an he seems genuine.

Seems like their overall ranking system is better than the others.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Fred Smoot as well..

Paul has longterm ties with MSU people from the past -- who all seem to really appreciate the manner with which he's approached reporting about MSU. Wouldn't be at all surprised to see other guests pop up on there from time to time...

Yea if you are thinking about joining a pay site 24/7 is the best option. Paul is great, professional and he shoots it straight. Nothing to lose from doing the trial

Definitely worth the money

I have always said I will always support at least one State site. A one point and time I have been a member of all NFL them and this is definitely the best. Paul does a good Jo of just reports and leaving all of the nonsense drama to the other clowns in the business

Very good info and the board has becomme very lively, as well. Sign up and I'll wager that you'll regret not doing so sooner.

Paul is awesome, but the national guys are all about page views. Take them with a grain of salt. There are QUICK to mention volatile statements to ramp up site hits, a la Rosebowl.

I will say Wyatt's Monday Morning QB is well worth it as well.

Paul does feature articles on current players but so the other sites. The feature articles - at least the way I see it - you get the same type of writing from the CL. Recruiting info is what differentiates the sites plus Wyatt/Smoot/Sherrill articles.

Recruiting is just as hot in the summer -- It is truly a year-round sport. Actually maybe the hottest in the summer with the camp circuit and 7-on-7. Going to be great the next two years with all the talent coming through MS as well. The state is STOCKPILED with talent in the 2014 and 2015 classes -- after being lower on talent since 09...

Sounds like a solid investment then. Sure hope we can get that talent to Starkville.

No it's not worth the money, IMO. But none of the sites are...you're just throwing money away. Do the free trial but just make sure you cancel it before they charge you.
