This probably goes in the unpopular opinions thread and I know I will be excoriated but, in the off season, I actually like Ketchum's show with Chad Hastings better than the seven-times-per-day OTF offerings.

You can start beating me up now.

This is an interesting video from one of YT's large creators that gives you an insight on why OTF post the videos and the amount they do because of the VODS. They're obviously not pulling in this kind of money but it's just interesting to see numbers generated.

Well, that's one way to get on the ignore list.

Just as a general rule, you should not ever do anything that benefits Ketchum.

I love Burton, Gerry, etc. but even during the season about 1 hour of their podcasts as week is more than enough for me.  It all gets very repetitive.  Not their fault.  There just is not that much to really discuss.

Yep. This week the repetitiveness is John Clark didn't play but 7 games because he broke his pinkie finger.

Also, David Bailey is elite and we can always use more elite guys. Sark pushing all of his chips in the middle. 

Thanks for telling that story again, Ger!

Probably been said before but I hate On3's recent approach to social media. So many of their posts are just a random picture with a single word slapped onto it in all-caps. It's completely unnecessary.

They're trying to copy the ClutchPoints schtick they had a few years ago but the whole point is to make the images memes that you can use as reaction images going forward

Gotta appeal to the idiots. The reading level of half of America is the below the 6th grade level, after all. 
 

I can think of a few posters who think it’s brilliant.

EJ Holland is a simple idiot and a pathological liar. I’m pretty stunned he still has a gig in this sport. He’s never worked a day in his life at that job.

Boy does he love his frappucinos. Why do I know this? Why should I ever know this about someone covering recruiting? Why post about this shit?

I've met with a lot of recruiting gurus over my lifetime. My meeting with Holland was by far the worst one I've ever had. I openly cheered the day he left covering Texas recruiting. Worthless.

Not really a good comparison, IMO. Liucci is brain dead, brain washed, but he knows his audience. 

Holland is self serving, lazy, incompetent, while at the same time thinking he's the smartest person in any room he's in. It just goes to show how much incompetency is entrenched in this industry when he's able to make a living wage covering recruiting. And at Michigan, of all places.

Holy shit. I'll always see that now. He really does resemble Lange before the caved in septum thing.

I haven’t really checked in on OTF in months but I just dropped by and saw news of a women’s basketball transfer. I saw some posters wonder about the player’s three point shooting prowess, and stats would indicate middling at best, not great, and this was discussed. Then other posters weighed in to chide anyone for having the gall to doubt Vic and his decisions. 

It’s a fucking message board. No one ripped the transfer. I guess you shouldn’t even discuss statistics. I’m technically an old, but at least I’m not one of those stick up my ass olds.

Honestly I'm just impressed OTF posters were having a meaningful and somewhat informed discussion about women's basketball.

I’ve changed my tune. Those guys are hilarious. When I need a pick me up sometimes I go over there just to read their hot takes on various topics. It’s amazing.

Drink every time you read someone say “young man”, if you want to get plastered in about 30 seconds.

So one of Nahlin and Ketchum is about to be tossed out on his ass as they’ll merge sites eventually. Either that, or, and this is quite disturbing, they join forces to become the biggest blowhard, fake insider recruiting board on the planet.

Ketch refused to address it when it broke live.. Anwar called him on the cell, and instead of doing a commercial, we all watched him take the call.. he hung up, went back to talking roster price then left without discussing it. The chat was full of people wanting to know what was going on.

 

Anwar then tweeted that he might be ubering (joke)

 

I would think that OB would just go independently since Rivals doesn't own them IIRC.. they are part of the network but Ketch owns OB. Not sure how IT operates

Might have to change the title of this sub forum soon assuming the acquisition will drive base prices up across on3/Rivals and 247. 

Maybe $19.95?

I think IT is the same way. Nahlin got majority ownership like 4-5 years ago.

Nothing could possibly go wrong when those 2 streams cross

I don't know why I thought this, but at the time I presumed that maybe Burton loaned him the money and it wasn't that much.  I don't think IT has a lot of value to transfer to a third party absent the ongoing commitment of the various reporters to continue generating content. 

Burton would have done it as an investment in On3 and for the platform for his Youtube career.
