REAL TALK WTF HAPPENED TO THIS SITE??

Ariz is still a um student and has exams to pass. Give the guy a break.

Unless he is super senior or is in grad school he is no longer a student. He was a student when I was a student in 2014, and even if he was a freshman then he would have graduated by now.

Sites like this take one of two paths...

The "plugs" eventually need to make actual money so they need to A) monetize the site or B) go make money some other way...

Recruiting information, god bless it, doesn't seem like a good foundation for a pay check month-to-month. You can do well enough, I suppose, but you've got a ceiling to your income. This is true to all jobs in this sports writing field.

This site, holding true to their mission statement of it being a FREE SITE with FREE CONTENT...kudos to them...but Pete's gotta make some money.

With all that said...maybe there isn't much to talk about either. idk.

Pete's an 8th year senior. Like this guy:

man pete only worried bout outthehuddle now so this site is more of an inconvenience for him now.

This must be the case, or it may be vacation time with the help from us.

Pete ain't on no ******* vacation this **** been going on for awhile now...... his *** got the big head is what's happening.
Although you'll get crushed for it......I agree with the gist of your post.

From a business standpoint, Pete should have merged both websites into one quality product that offers access to both recruiting and non recruiting forums. Could have charged half of what the competitors charge... lets say $6 bucks per month. By dedicating most of his time to one site, he risks losing his loyal base. Most people follow recruiting year round and imo that is where Pete's potential $$$ is at. The other material would serve as a bonus. Just my opinion, and not trying to tell Pete how to run his company. People want MORE content. Shouldn't split it up! You lose value that way.

Exactly. I've worked as web developer on two marketing teams for 2 years and the "call to action" (which is just a button that users click on to turn into a customer, like "Click Here to Sign Up") is very important. There are 0 on this site, and any new person that comes to this site will not hear about or know what OTH is for at least a few months. Horrible, horrible, horrible marketing. They need to hire a marketing staff.
I've heard about it and there is no effing way I'm paying 10 bucks a month for what that site is offering.

Truthfully, Pete hasn't been the same since James Coley left.

All his info since has been more sporadic and less reliable. Make of that what you will.

Sounds like Bakas on grassy when Mike Barrow left.

Bakas had already become a shell of himself by that time.

His decline started right around when Golden was hired.

Yeah...see my previous post about needing to make real money. I think both could apply here.

Ive never understoood the hate some here show towards Ivins. I like Pete but Ive always also seen Ivins as a reliable source for recruiting info. The only beef with him is he works for 247 and I absolutely hate their site. Its so riddled with ads that it crashes on my phone virtually every time im on it.

Never crashes my phone but then again I don't ever see ads

I'm not a member of 247; but for the last 2 or 3 weeks I've been getting an error (400 Bad Request - Request Header Or Cookie Too Large) on my cell phone and I can't access articles. Maybe it's their way of telling me to sh*t or get off the can.

Honestly, I like CIS; which I am a member of and would not like to see this site fade away. Love the sense of humor of a lot of you cats, while some of you other cats just need to step away from the ledge.

I’m pretty sure the price just dropped to $5 a month.
