Agree with Dr. Gilbert.  IT provides info to its paying subscribers.  If you want to post info in your own words from them and give them credit, which I've done here, feel free, but copy and pasting their info from behind their paywall is typically a big no no.

Wasn’t IT the ones that said their info was “watermarked” and said they could tell which user was sharing it?  I believe the writer Jesus S said that

No idea and Jesus S. hasn't been a contributor there in quite a long time.

He was there when they didn’t charge.

I’ve never signed up as I don’t pay for info.  If this site starts charging I’ll go to the next one.  I’ve never seen a a terms of agreement.  It’s funny, they want to be the first to break news, but don’t share it

IT shares news with their paying subscribers.  Some like me are also on free boards and paraphrase some of that info, but I always give IT credit when I do so.  Daniel does a great job here as well.  Nobody is forced to pay for their info, but my opinion is they are the best paysite covering Texas and it's not even close.  I've been a member at both Orangebloods and 247 and the info and detail is far better at IT.  Their info typically leaks out, but not normally via cut and paste. If others find it interesting, they're welcome to sign up, but if you're good with getting it later or getting less of it, then don't sign up.

Jesus S was there when I joined years ago and it was a paysite then and still is.  Never knew of them being free, but I went to most of the same schools growing up with Clendon Ross, who is a great guy and owns the site after buying it many years ago from Robert Heard....thankfully.

I would guess that we would not go after anyone who has been dismissed from a team.

Jesus S is a friend of mine and no they don't do that. Sometimes they'll let a rumor like that float around just to discourage the practice.

Actually, IT has always charged. Jesus S (Kevin) was previously with Barking Carnival, back when ScipioTex was part of the team. BC was free, may still be. ScipioTex used to pen some humdingers. They had a good team, IMO.

Kevin went to IT when Clendon (is that the owner's name) made a deal to get him on staff.

I agree with whomever said IT was better than OB or 24/7. IT has depth to their coverage that 247 hasn't been able to duplicate, although I do like Mike Roach a lot over at 24/7. Brainiacs is a great info place, but not a community like the above three sites. So it's a different animal but a very accurate one. I can't recall the last time they were wrong. They were the ones who stuck with their pick of Bijan to Texas, despite the three other sites going into a OSU frenzy for three weeks.

7 out of 9 Big 12 teams will have new Coordinators or QBs or both this year.

Wow.

Was the BC site called recruiticosm or something like that?!

i do remember them telling that on IT that their stuff was watermarked and that if folks posted it elsewhere they’d be banned from the site.  This was 7-8 years ago I guess.  I’d just go to Shaggybevo and read every report as it was posted there by folks

That sounds familiar, could be.

"Lacks shake in the hole ... decent vision to get to space ... not a natural RB" surprising anti - cool aid from those guys on Wittingham. We've led to believe he had all those things.

Thought the same thing when I read that statement. Everyone has been drooling over him. Im going to stick with the people that’s saying he is a badass

I'm going to assume that we are talking about Whittington since there is no one named Wittingham on the roster

We definitely need him to be a badass RB. But we won't know until we actually see him in real games. 

 

[prosfromdover]

It's also ridiculous and a little embarrassing to post such comments about a guy they / we have never seen in pads (who's never played RB before) after the first practice. That goes for the good and the bad I guess so maybe it's a wash. But to declare whether he's natural or not when he's never had the chance to feel out the position and learn with live bullets coming at him is silly.

He did play some RB at Cuero. They used him in a variety of ways.

He did pretty well in state championship from the wildcat position.

I thought it was just wildcat. Anyway, nobody said he wasn't natural then.
