Subscription Sites for the New Season

[West is Best]

I'm interested in hearing what college hoops subscription sites everyone belongs to, especially as more and more information goes behind paywalls.

I used to belong to Rivals during the Snow/Broering era, but I've lost interest in following recruiting and would rather focus on actual games. I'm thinking about subscribing to Kenpom this year and possibly a couple other sites as well. People say that ESPN has really lost a step without Telep there. Any other good ones to consider?

Belong to Scout and KenPom and would argue they are must haves for any Xavier/college basketball fan.

Rick actually does a lot more with game reactions now than in the Rivals days. Also (shameless plug) we do a weekly podcast in-season that discusses each game in depth.

Obviously I love KenPom, also for free sites I recommend statsheet.com.

None. XavierHoops is enough reading, and the people who DO have subscriptions usually give up any important information 15 minutes after they get it anyway.

Scout is pretty awesome.

I'd also agree the post game analysis is better than any other blog I've read too. It's not as recruiting heavy in season anymore.

Not really. Only after a commitment is made, but by then it's public knowledge.

Scout, good analysis from games, recruiting, and inside looks at practices. While I think Snow is kind of a knob, he is a national director of bball recruiting and seems to have accurate info and if he doesnt he is upfront about it. When he first started at rivals I think he put up a lot of BS bc he was young and looking for subscribers. Rick runs the site but Brian chimes in a lot. There is a lot of garbage on twitter and message boards from other sites and many times it looks like some 15 year old kid trying to get into recruiting. At least with Brian/Rick its knowledge based opinion. It's only $10 a month, good value.

I would suggest you subscribe to XavierHoops.
