Yosef10, this is exactly what I posted to 24/7 in the Rock thread regarding Mods before being banned so I doubt anyone saw it. Igoe does an amazing job for ECU and that is what I want for App. We deserve someone like that with how passionate our fanbase is.

247 lost all independence as “news” provider and instead became state media propaganda for Clark as they were buddies and he likewise censored whoever wasn’t aligned. I left the site for about a year and signed back up the day Clark was fired.
It’s clear his valuable contacts are gone and honestly the cabin provides better information currently. I’m sure that will change, but hoping Dowell treats him like Drink did so he’s able to actually critique the football program when needed without fear of having his tee time canceled.

Re: App Transfer Portal 2025 - IN
Our 247 sports coverage used to be better until the Rivals guy took it over with the CBS merger. The guy that runs it now is very clearly not a journalist and is buddy buddy with the staff (at least old staff) so he won't ask anything to jeopardize that.
I get it, but it's not reporting. Anybody paying for that site is wasting money as it's all regurgitated recycled data you can always find elsewhere before they release it.

Pro athletes will simply need to understand that some positions earn more money than other positions.

Re: App Transfer Portal 2025 - IN
I saw MJohn’s response and that’s pretty much it. There needs to be some clear communication that not all roles are valued the same from a monetary stance.Pikapp79 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2025 1:58 pmAppSt94 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2025 7:35 amThere is certainly the possibility that NIL disparity can adversely affect team chemistry and the locker room; and is something that has to be managed.AppState89 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2025 7:30 amWonder how long it will take the OL to get pissed off that the QB is getting several million in NIL while they get around $5,000?

If you want to see how a 247 site should be run then take a look at Stephen Igoe over at ECUs 247 site. Regular articles with good information shared. Not much extra posting by him preaching at his membership. And most importantly to me, you actually get inside info that you pay for in real time, rather than post mortem coverage that you tend to get at the App 247 site, which I feel typically tends to be just conjecture for the most part.Appmountaineers19 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2025 12:20 pmI tend to agree with this. I will say I respect 24/7 but there seems to be a lot of censorship happening over there. Not easy for mods patrolling either of these message boards. I'm sure its been said before but I think on both sites people would have a different tone if it was face to face with some of the things that are said to each other. I myself stepped back not posting a lot and just reading and damn - sh#t gets personal. I know I was at fault as well in some instances.Yosef10 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2025 11:56 amMy man, I have the same issues with him that you do, but you gotta let it go haha.ASUFan4863 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2025 10:53 amI’m glad we got Swann! He has been a target for a few weeks and we were able to beat out Jax State.
FYI - I mentioned his name a few days ago. I mentioned him on the 24/7 sports website also and then was reprimanded by that “reporter”. Guess we know who really has sources these days.
What’s most disappointing to me is sites like that are how you can grow a fan base. Feels like a wasted opportunity that I wish could be rectified in some way. We just have such little coverage of the nuts and bolts of the football program when compared to schools like ECU, NCSU, and UNC. Which all have fantastic 247 sites.
Good post! BUT, just like everything else, we could/should do so much better.

$450,000 is his NIL value. Wonder what he will be getting at App?

It’s not you man. You aren’t the problem over there.
We appreciate you and think you do a great job, at least I do.

Not being a smart ass but his NIL value is what someone will give him. If he’s coming to App it isn’t $450,000.AppState89 wrote: ↑Fri Jan 03, 2025 2:49 pm$450,000 is his NIL value. Wonder what he will be getting at App?

All in all, offensive signees from the TP appear promising so far!
I’m looking forward to some similar good news around defensive pickups.
