I'm curious what happens with the recruit databases and the scouts who help rank these recruits. Will there continue to be separate databases between the On3 and Rivals evaluation teams? Or will they be merged? For now at least, it seems the Rivals ratings are still showing up in the cumulative player rankings/ratings.

BTW, whatever happened to the old Scout.com sites? Did they simply go out of business or did On3 or 24/7 acquire them? I can't remember. Someone should bring Scout back just so we'll have a 4th recruit ranking/rating system to maintain the status quo. LOL.

Scout was was bought by 247 Sports in 2017

Terry Shannon started AllianceSports in 1995 and then sold in to Rivals.com in 2000 for $3 million. He then turned around and bought Rivals.com in 2001 for $500,000 after Rivals.com parent company went bankrupt.

Terry’s investment group sold Rivals.com to Yahoo in 2007 for roughly $98 million.

Terry founded 247Sports in 2010 and sold it to CBS Sports in 2015

Terry then founded On3 in 2021

Mark Cuban sold 3 internet businesses and made himself one of the wealthiest Americans. All 3 websites he sold went bankrupt. Lol

Wow this site is dog@#$%. Good luck with it. I'm going for a better option. And if there is none, I just will do without. Really clear way to let us know you don't care about us.

I have my doubts that this site Will Survive and predicting it'll be gone within 2 years time and the new buyer will not survive at all

They have tried to make us welcomed. They did have to do any of that. I know it would be a lot of unhappy cat fans but they seem to have gone the extra mile. I think @Matt Jones had something to do with that. So be grateful. I am

My biggest complaint is that we will no longer have people necro threads from 10 years ago to make another member look like an idiot for not being able to see into the future. I will miss the pointing and laughing.
