which do yall prefer, and do yall even choose to use either? currently a member of 247, which i do like, but looking to get opinions to see if Rivals is a better alternative, or if i should only use dawgnation and not play 10 dollars a month??

Dawg nation and the athletic have me covered. Any insider info usually finds its way here
@Atlanta_Dawg I'll admit that it may sound like a wimpy thing.... but I just don't feel like having a "go around" with my wife over the cost of using either one. Besides, if RIGHT HERE is GREAT (& I believe that it really actually IS GREAT RIGHT HERE!) I have found (for me) that right in here at the DawgNation website, along with MOSTLY @JeffSentell (as well as some others too) , AND THEN there is the DawgNation forum members (in particular to me? members @tiger_62082 , & @CZCashvilleDawg ??? I feel like I am more informed here by those sources than most any other places that always seem either lazy like for instance ESPN, or just plain dumb? like perhaps CBS Sports? Anyway, there's a LOT of GREAT STUFF right HERE!!! GO DAWGS!!!
Also the athletic costs 2.99 a month but you get access to every sport and every writer. No ads, no clickbait. Good app. Not sure how it’s financially viable but I’m enjoying the ride will it lasts
Agreed sir. I will check the 247 for rankings, but most of the time the stories that break here break 1st or are better written and more detailed.
247 is the standard for recruiter ratings, Rivals has the 2 most active national boards, so it depends on what you're interested in.
I use both. I prefer 247. I do believe 247 drops info first, especially as it relates to recruiting. Rivals and Dawgnation offer more in depth info.
yea i really do like 247 but the lack of depth on info is pretty bad.
The only thing I use 247 and Rivals for is data. Would be nice if DN built some links to player and team rankings, scholarship distribution, targets, offers and stuff like that.
I'm a cheap SOB. I rely on Dawg Nation and the information provided by a lot a posters...save a few.....
Just ordered my Marcos for tonight. That’s like a subscription, right?
Had it with the kids and wife Sunday.
They love the cheese bread too.
247 is probably first because they post a bunch of unsubstantiated stuff that somebody or other heard or just made up. You can be a lot faster when you don’t care about accuracy.
I’ve never wasted my money on that site. But following this site I have occasionally known enough about a subject, then see a story on their site and just roll my eyes. That’s only happened a few times though because I only loosely follow recruiting. I don’t try to be tiger about it.
The ratings on 247 are free. I think OP’s question is more towards what for-pay information is better.
Im a member of 247, its worth the 10$, its prob wont be what u expect but its a servicable sight, im not a fan of rusty or kipp bc i they put out lazy articles, the jake rowe practice reports are what i like best, @JeffSentell is better than kipp or rusty
yea the most dedicated reporter/writer imo is Keith Neibhur. although i dont like Auburn, he is relentless in putting out stuff and replying to his community
