If you want fast turnaround on breaking recruiting news, Scout.com may be the way to go. But if you want a better all-around info such as FB/BB news, recruiting updates, etc. then rivals.com is better in that regard. Of course, that's my opinion. However, I would suggest you try the 7 day trial they both offer.

Jeff Drummond and others on rivals.com has a policy of waiting until the recruit gets home from a visit so that delays the news somewhat. However, the articles tend to be more accurate. Scout.com does get them out quickly but they have had a few misses on their accuracies when it comes to commitments.

The comparision of ratings may not be that big a deal as many recruits are pretty much in the same ballpark especially when it comes to star ratings versus position/overall rankings.
