    Paul Jones

    Looks like he's leaving Gene's Page and 247 for ON3 which is now Six Pack Speak.

    Huge blow for Steve and the 247 guys. Paul will take a pretty big following with him. And then GP will turn into the old men sunshine club it was before the merger

    It?ll be refreshing to not have some guy hawking books all the time where I go to get my recruiting news.

    Definitely a shock when I saw that this morning. A huge coup for the On3 site. Steve will really have to step up on the football recruiting front. Paul published recruiting news every day.

    Yeah, since Steve took over the site, his recruiting info has gone way down. You never know when you're getting it from Steve either.

    Paul is the same day, same time, same format. I'll probably keep a membership for both to start, but if I cut one, it'll be GP

    I imagine most will do the same. Someone over at 247 will have to really step up to keep those consumers.

    Once Gene was out of the way, I wondered how long they would stay together. When I saw a new writer there, I 100% knew somebody was going to go. Competition is good. Hopefully it will force them both to be better

    I thought Steve was posting part time for the Auburn board, after Cohen left. ***
    He went to their board during the Cohen to Auburn time frame posting all about Cohen to them.

    Maybe we can get some On3 ranking boosts now.

    Yeah the new writer made me think the same thing. A website like that can only support the salaries of so many grown men. Plus Paul has run a site before, it always seemed like a matter of time before he took the On3 site.

    My only surprise is that Robbie isn't also leaving (yet).

    Paul and Robbie are head and shoulders above the rest.

    Robbie is by far their most talented writer. He is really good. Paul, while not the best ?story? writer, absolutely grinds and gives honest and good info.

    Why unfortunately? Genes page is trash. 24/7 was awesome until they took over. Paul was great on 24/7 sports without them. It has been embarrassing since they took over. They are NOT the face of MSU that they think they are.

    BTw.... what is ON3??? Never heard of it.

    ON3 is a newer paid/free service from the same guy that started 247 before he sold it.

    247 was good until Genespage merged with it. It's gonna be useless without Paul.

    Genespage has went down for years. I left probably 12+ years ago and just couldn't stand the sunshine pumpers on everything. You couldn't even critique a game or team. It was ridiculous.
