If you want recruiting info, I suggest you look at subscribing for a month or two. I enjoy Paul's stuff. He does, in fact, talk directly to recruits.(And they like to talk) And his pregame articles are interesting. I'm not here to promote one over another, but to simply take stuff from a site like CR or CN that has to pay a salary to collect the information, isn't right. It will penalize those of use who want that kind of service. If you don't want it, it will become public in due time and you can find out. I don't blame any subscription site from protecting information they pay someone to find.

Not to get in a big argument, but if an article is pasted onto a site like this there could be a lawsuit but I have never seen that. Trying to get a lawsuit out of something like so and so has committed to a college would be very difficult to sue against. In addition I am a member of CR and have seen seen a subscription article from ESPN's pay site posted. It was an isolated incident and was removed after awhile I think but was on there for a reasonable amount of time and honestly I remember looking later in the day and it still being there and never went back at a later date to see if it had been removed.

To echo ketelmeister, CR is a very good place to get recruiting info and what you are paying for is the articles which can be pretty interesting. For instance on the recruit this thread is about there is some info in the article that makes me see why schools are so high on him and so on.
And the video on this guy shows how tough he is to bring down. That's what Chizik seems to emphasize, yards after getting hit. This guy reminds me of Peterson of the Vikings in that regard. He's just plain tough to get on the ground. It will be fun to watch him at Iowa State. The premium sites have video on most players.
This has to be the record for a thread talking about how something can't be talked about. The suspense is killing me:arghh:
im tired of seeing all these post about cyclonereport or *************. how bout we start talking about recruits we would like to have instead of weather something is premium info. if its premium let the moderators do their job. i hope our recruiting class will be a good one. hopefully the recruits ive listed in post #79 will come here
Can't help but notice you have a real investment in CR . . . personally, CR seems to promote recruiting information and little else. So be it . . but then again, some people enjoy stamp collecting . . .while others like free sites offering open discussion without all the threats, chest thumping (e.g. recruiting firsts), and deletions.
I have observed that this site seems to have very responsible fans who like to chit chat about ISU sports. . . I like that. I can't help but notice how dead Paul's other sites are (which is sad).
Again . . .to each their own.
Well, looks like we have some worry warts on this website now. If a name appears here, probably 99.5% it is freebie info. I do not see a problem on this website. Maybe the other two boards are copying each other. MODS do a great job of watching this board.
Any other granny comments out there about premium info?

It appears to be public information from this free link

CR certainly does not have recruiting information and little else. Also, what sites of Paul's are you talking about that are dead? The free boards?
ChadM is correct here, plus I have seen him drive a par 4 - so pretty much he is John Daly of CF.
Wahls from a non-CR subscriber I could really have fun here but let's be nice. I think it is funny that you submit tacitly that somehow CR has a great "reputation", however you feel compelled to spend time on this website pontificating on the virtues of CR "reputation"-when said rep should serve as its own defense...and advertising. If the reputation was as strong as you stipulate there certainly would be no demand for CF. However; CR's failure to deliver has created a demand that wasn't supplied by CR or CN. Lastly, you bust on CN while pretending to take the high ground, while wallowing in the mud with the other piggies-oink. Keep slinging mud, and pretending you aren't one of the piggies-oink.
BTW-nice hijack of the thread-oink.

Well I've been a little busy so I'm just now getting online but I wanted to chime in a little on the differences between CR and CF and how both provide a service. Paul and I came to a mutual understanding a while ago that both sites provide a great service to the community but in different ways. Paul does a great job of providing recruiting news and analysis and CF does a great job of providing a completely free and unrestricted place for diehards to hang-out. We aren't competitors and we don't look at eachother as such. I actually even exchanged emails with Paul today talking about our respect for each other.
One thing Paul and I realized long ago was that there is plenty of room for both of us to exist in harmony. We have a large and growing fan-base and two sites can easily cater to their needs in different ways successfully. I have a full-time job so I can't follow up on all the recruiting stuff and Paul does a great job at that. I have a huge passion for creating a free and friendly place for fans to hang-out and we do a great job at providing that place.
I think there's plenty of room for both sites to coexist peacefully and hopefully everybody understands that. We do our best here on CF to only allow positive remarks towards CR and to not allow premium content to be posted. Obviously there are times when we don't know if something was learned from a premium source like CR so we can't always keep things from becoming public knowledge but we do try. There are times we've forwarded Paul info to see if it's something that shouldn't be allowed here and that's about all we can do without moderating every poster for their sources. We do our best and we've become peaceful co-existers and invite all of you to do the same.

Whatever . . . I'm glad you are pleased with CR and believe it provides all that you need. CF is my first choice.
Schwartz is a load. I saw the highlight reel of him and I think they really only tackled the guy once or twice. He just bounced off people and kept going. Not the speediest guy. But it looked like he was just a little faster than everyone else. One of those guys who doesn't lose speed when he puts on the pads. Reminded me a little of Earl Campbell. The guy has huge legs it looks like, but he can still move. He showed some quick feet also and some good moves as guys grabbed air as he eluded them. Nice commitment.
