247- Pretty good. Chad is good. The national website has gotten sluggish on updates in both sports since CBS bought them but the rankings are usually decent.
Rivals - Rivals was always better on football and lags behind in general these days.
On3 - Better in football. They're trying to get up to speed. on everything still. Relatively new site.
One thing to know about the ranking service sites..
Shannon Terry, the guy who started Rivals, sold it to Yahoo who then bought out Scout. He then founded 247Sports which he sold to CBS Interactive. Then he founded On3 which he hasn't sold yet obviously because it's new. A lot of the guys that work for these sites just follow him from place to place. Some of the people at On3 have recently jumped from 247 as CBS becomes a corporate overlord. Steve Wiltfong is the latest example.
On3 will eventually get better on maybe even pick up a Cincinnati site but for right now there's only a few guys on there I'd trust for basketball.
It seems as though the recruitment of Keyshuan Tillery has reached its final stretch, as the four-star guard is expected to make a verbal commitment next week and is currently finalizing an exact date for a public announcement.
Technically, Tillery is still considering three programs – Virginia, Cincinnati and Wake Forest – but recent intel on the situation suggest that Demon Deacons are running in a distant third behind the Cavaliers and Bearcats. Virginia was once seen as the leader in the race, but last weekend’s official visit to Cincy seems to have closed any gap that previously existed between UVA and Cincinnati. These days, the race feels tight, but buzz is starting to build around Wes Miller’s Bearcats as the ever-so-slight frontrunner.
It currently feels as though the sooner a decision comes the better the outcome will be for Cincinnati, which used last weekend’s visit to make a strong late move and now feels some form of optimism. That said, Virginia remains a serious threat and should not be overlooked, especially if next week comes and goes without an announcement.
Should Tillery choose Cincy in the near future, though, UVA fans will look to four-star point guard Chance Mallory, who will suddenly feel even more likely to land in Charlottesville than he did previously.
Today is commitment day for New Hampton School and City Rocks point guard Keyshuan Tillery, who will announce his college decision live on the @247Sports channel at 4pm. https://www.youtube.com/live/G3szNytz7i8
Scouting Keyshuan Tillery:
- True 2-way floor general & leader
- Elite competitor & intangibles
- Sets tone defensively; pressures ball
- Paint touches, fast with ball, improved shooter
