Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWe'll see... If coaches/recruiters are willing to pay for it (and I'm sure many will), some parents will. What's $80 when Bolts and GPS cost upwards of $8K. Parents will want to read what the recruiters are reading. Again, we'll see. Good move by NESJ IMO. Ad click revenue can only pay a tiny fraction of the bills. I imagine they've been in the red for a while. It's a small market so they have to charge around $80 per year. although I think they're capturing a nice poorly filled niche in NE college recruiting and NE college soccer journalism.
NESJ lost me when they put arguably the best high school player in the country (he is the national Gatorade Player of the Year and is committed to Stanford) on their All Star second team (or was it the third team) and said he could be good, but needed to use his teammates more. Sorry, if you can't recognize that kind of world class talent, you can't recognize talent.

The reality of that young man is that he does need to pass and use his teammates, a whole lot more. He is a project, albeit one with substantial talent. It will be interesting to see how he adjusts. He'll probably play, and he might well score but most assuredly not 70 goals a season.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostToo funny. Good luck, guys, but I think you'll need to reevaluate this business strategy fairly soon. People will only pay for something if they feel it has value.
How do you explain every club paying parent in the US?
Hey PT (as in Barnum), here comes another one...

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostIt is like being written up in the local paper. Are recruiters combing all the local papers? Of course, not. It’s the same thing. Nice printouts for a scrap book. That’s its value.

Let's think about this.
I could pay $10 every month for NESJ, or, I could pay $10 every month for Netflix.
Which should I choose?
