Dust off your resumes if you're interested in being an MSU beat writer for a recruiting site.

Would you enjoy talking on the phone to teenage kids about their college plans and writing nail-biting stories that includes a list of schools in their top 10? If so, you're qualified.

I think so, even though I don't have my own account. I also know how to pretend to have a bunch of insider info when I'm really talking out of my ass. I can do this!

When a random person breaks a story before you and creates a thread with a link to free info, will you be willing to lock that person's thread and create your own thread with a link to subscriber only info that says less than the original free link?

247 is great. They write an article on Brandon Johns getting an MSU offer, and confuse him with Brandon John (who goes to Hill Academy in Canada). Solid reporting there.

I've applied with the stipulation that I intend to call all recruits and programs out on their bullshit. MSU included.
Tell me you wouldn't pay $9.99/month for content like "Jimmy Jaxon Flaxon Waxon is a 5-star WR out of Saginaw who claims to be a childhood fan of both Michigan and Michigan State. The coveted receiver, however, recently took an unofficial visit to LSU. Shortly after the trip his mother, Mrs. Flaxon Waxon, was seen driving a brand new Range Rover Evoque, therefore, I am crystal balling Jimmy to the Tigers. I will not be changing this prediction."
Or what about "Top rated Gary, IN Center, and obvious one-and-done prospect, Ozmataz Buckshank, has trimmed his list to North Carolina, Duke, Kansas, and Michigan State. Since Mr. Buckshank hates class, has a Twitter profile that reads 'Cash Rules Everything Around Me,' and does not currently have a relative employed by Jayhawk basketball I am crystal balling him to North Carolina. It seems that once again Tom Izzo has misplaced his wallet during a high profile recruitment. I will not be changing this prediction."

My weekly recruiting update would just be a spreadsheet of how much cash a booster would need to cough up to attract a given recruit to their school along with the best available means of funneling the money.
