Why ESPN?

I guess they needed to make money. The funny part is they don't post anything that is new. Most of the time it is after rivals and scout. On the trail report by ESPN that updates the status of recruits who commit is now a Insider subscription required.

Re: Why ESPN?

I heard Luginbill last year on Finebomb defending picking Miami over us for the #1 recruiting class.

He went on and on about how ESPN had more credibility than Rivals and Scout becuase it wasn't possible to keep credibility when you charge for access.

I suppose he now agrees that ESPN has lsot some cred.

Re: Why ESPN?

The entire ESPN website is pathetic. Why does a sporting news organization need so many op-ed writers? Give the scores, give team updates, and go home.

I remember that interview. Wish someone would call him out next time he is on.

Re: Why ESPN?

He's not referred as "Luginbarner" for nothing. He's a tool.
