My opinion is scout is 50 bucks a year. So a dollar a week. Just pay it.

Ha. What's going to happen if you say who the source was? C'mon now, I copy and paste stuff all the time from ESPN Insider. I along with many others don't believe anything until we physically see a source.

It's weird to me that someone as interested in ISU MBB recruiting news as Nallen, wouldn't just fork over the $50.

It's by far the best value in recruiting info IMO.

Here ya go people. I guess I'm a rule breaker.

Any info on Adrio Bailey, Alex? 2016 wing who supposedly has a visit scheduled.



Quote from Alex Halsted "Heard he's not on Iowa State's board. So that was odd to see last week or so. Will let you know if I hear differently."

My hero.

I have a question about the Scout subscription. Is it actually worth it? You guys keep saying it's 50 bucks like it's nothing, but that just seems like way more money than I would be willing to spend for information that will come out some other (free) way sooner or later.

Then it won't be worth it to you, probably. It's $4.95/month which is right on the edge of worth it to me. I only have it during basketball season. The basketball recruiting information has been really good or I wouldn't still be there. I don't care about football recruiting in the least.

Rivals was always $9.99/month and I'd never pay that these days. Like you said, info. comes out somewhere...sometime for free.

If you pay for it, its yours, you should be able do whatever you want with it. That's like buying a book and not letting your friend read it. I would share everything if I subscribed.

And then wherever it is you subscribed would boot you. Seems pretty shortsighted on your part.

I agree on this to an extent, however books are different. Authors dont get paid by # of books sold, its all based on popularity of the author and whether or not the puplisher thinks its good enough to sell. There are deals where this is not the case, but not the majority of them.

Alex gets his income off of number of paid subscriptions. If you want the info now, just pay for it. Or else you can wait 2 or 3 weeks to get the info then.

It's less than a dollar a week. Or for the monthly, 4.95 a month. I live in New York. Here, a beer in a lot of cases costs more than five bucks at the bar. So yeah, it feels like an afterthought to throw someone a lil bit of cash to learn about stuff slightly faster than the general public.

Regarding rivals, it's paying ten bucks for a message board. I'm not paying ten bucks for a message board.

I guess I'm just thinking like the broke college student I am. 5 bucks a month is one more beer a month I can get on Mug Night right?

Do you sign an agreement when buying a book?

I don't understand how people don't get this. When people provide me a service I expect them to be compensated for it. Silly me. I actually tip my waitress even though I don't have to.
