WTF, we usually don't start recruiting kids until the week before signing day, now I will be forced to check in on Rivals throughout the season and actually think we may be getting some stars....

:yeahthat:

Actually, the Utah site is pretty progressive and revolutionary. It's all relative. Have to remember that it's still the 1950s in Utah.

I know you're just joking, but I really don't understand the hate for the utefans.net format. It is the best format I have come across for a private sports message board. This is what it looks like for registered users:

You get to read all of the posts and replies without having to click on anything. I click less browsing utefans than any other message board I read. You don't realize how nice little things like not having to click on posts can be until you have to go back to the old way after getting used to browsing utefans. In some ways the format really is progressive. Plus, it's highly customizable; almost modular, even. The platform is mostly custom made by the owner and surprisingly powerful.

At first it bothered me that replying to a post doesn't bump it, but now I love that feature. It results in more new posts and keeps fresh content on the front. It took me all of one day to go from confusion about its layout to loving the place and preferring it to other formats. If the unique format was changed it would upset me and I suspect most other members. For a recruiting site like rivals or scout, I prefer the cookie cutter vBulletin format. Utefans.net would lose its charm and significant value for me as a user if it was changed to vBulletin. I think people are just uncomfortable with anything different than what they're used to.

:wow: Whatever you are seeing, I aint seeing it. For the sake of keeping the good will flowing, I won't list my criticisms.

When it comes to recruiting, I guess JE knows how to do the little things right!

I hate those layouts that utefans.net/ramnation.com/netbuffs.com use so ****ing much. It's 2011, not 1996.

You're looking at the best format. Fact.

Of note: they have an Absinthe over there, too.
