Would ESPN PLEASE give up trying to compete with Rivals and Scout

[OSwho?]

their ESPN 150 list sucks, and point blank they do not see any of these kids in person like Scout and Rivals do. Rivals and Scout both hold camps and combines where they see all of these kids in person, and they also send many different analysts out on the road to see kids in person. They have 119 different D-1 sites and analysts from each affiliate site that also get out and see kids from their home state.

Agreed...someone on BP wanted to know why Posey wasn't on the list...and my answer was that I highly doubted anyone from ESPN had seen one of Posey's workouts this Summer, which is where both Rivals and Scout said he blew up.

They are spending major $$$$ and luring away some of the biggest names from both Scout and Rivals in an attempt to become the #1 recruiting site.

Look for some major news to break around the beginning of the year.....
