Can someone explain what the big brouhaha is over at VQ? (2025)

Seems like some folks are really upset so I assume it’s more than them splitting from Rivals, no? Saw where Ben McKee left yesterday and looked a the title of a post by Rob Lewis that hints his time is done as well.

Posting this here since since they primarily cover TN football.

Brent, Rob and Austin are headed to ON3 to run the Tennessee site for ON3.

Ben is headed to the 247 Tennessee board.

Not clear what Eric is going to do right now but would not surprise me to see him on ON3.

80% of the customers on VolQuest will end up on ON3. Many likely to stay on VolQuest or whatever new name they have.

Probably learn at midnight who will be the new people running the Rivals site. Midnight is official time for transition.

a football recruiting network. Started by the same people that started Rivals and 247. Both football recruiting sites if you are not familiar with them

Thanks for the info. I’ve heard of ON3 but unaware of the move.

Cain said on Twitter that he’s staying on with VQ, which is partially why he’s leaving his radio show

He put up a post earlier saying this was his last day with Rivals. Maybe something happened later in day.

When I say staying on with VQ, I meant with Hubbs. They’re taking the name to On3 as I understand it

oh, misunderstood. I think that is right but they have not said one way or the other. Sure we will know shortly.

I saw Shannon Terry being interviewed on a local sports call in show a few weeks ago. I was under the impression that his new site was going to focus on tracking NIL rumors and deals rather than traditional recruiting news that is covered by the companies he's sold in the past.

Its still recruiting but includes transfer information and NIL deals for players as well.

Tennessee site has a deal going, or did yesterday, where you can join up for 1 dollar for one year..

What has happened to Rivals? No Brent Hubbs or Austin Price articles. I always look forward to their videos and insight.

They have taken their talents to ON3 (Volquest - Generals Quarters). Rivals in process of installing new talent on the old site now called Vol Report. The leader is Tyler Mansfield.
