Used to be a member on Hawkeyereport. Not worth the10 bucks a month for info that you would find out a few hours or minutes later anyway. Jon does great write ups here with opinion free. Can't stand the fluff that Kakert comes up with. He will never offer any critism even when things went horribly south under Lick.

those sites are slowly going the way of the dinosaur. and reporters are careful not to get blackballed from ft kinnick. kirk has admitted that he reads what's out there, and appears to be the type to hold a bit of a grudge.
I was a member on both rivals and scout for several years, mostly to follow recruiting and get inside info.
The inside info aspect across the board has pretty much dried up due to the sites being seen as legit media now a days. Admins can't really post what they are hearing like they could several years ago. There are a few posters at each place that provide info, but not a lot.
So that leaves recruiting, and think rivals has better iowa coverage and national coverage. I like Rob and think he does a good job, but I didn't find myself visiting the scout site much over the past year, so I cancelled my annual subscription in October.
I'm curious to see how the 24/7 site does, they seem to have a focus on recruiting, which I think is key if they are going to make it.

HN is the Egg McMuffin of Hawkeye boards. Why would you need anything else?

Unless you want to know how the recruit's meal was at Texas Roadhouse or how breakfast was at Ferentz house on Sunday morning, its not worth it.

No. Way.
The best thing about premium boards is that trolls are almost non-existent. I wish Jon would create an invite-only board that would be highly regulated to minimize what accounts for 90% of the highjacked threads and minimizes the "moped" posts.
He could call it the Hawkeyenation Grown-up Board.

I'll second.
One thing I will say about the Scout premium board is the magazine is pretty nice. I do not subscribe but a friend does and passes along the magazines (yeah I am cheap). They are good bathroom material and my die hard 7 year old Hawk fan loves them.

It's been about 2-3 years since I was a member of Scout but the BIG diff is the msg boards for free and premium members. The sky doesn't fall everyday, none of the shenanigans and name calling. Much more civil and on topic.
That's the only site I belonged to so it's been a while.

HAHA...I highly doubt that is the reason you were banned.

Exactly. I've been a member of 247sports for the last three months and have known about information almost two or three days before any of my friends who are on Scout.com or Rivals.
I prefer that it's really just devoted to recruiting. Sure it has some off topic discussions and some users who feel they need to pad their posts for some reason, but the quality of information I get from VotH is worth it. Plus, I don't have to put up with the overly Iowa homerism and apologies for Ferentz every other day I get on other boards, including this one. I get it straight over there.
