Title: Do very many of you folks have Volquest memberships? Post by: volsboy on July 19, 2018, 11:01:45 EDT I've been debating joining for years. Just wondering if it is worth it? Do you really get more Vol info there than you would from all the free sources? Plus I'm cheap...lol.

Post by: Creek Walker on July 20, 2018, 04:55:29 EDT I'm going to preface what I'm about to say by saying that Brent Hubbs is the best in the business, as far as I'm concerned. Not only is he the best boots-on-the-ground journalist covering UT sports, but he's a gentleman who does things the right way — something that is becoming increasingly difficult to do as it becomes more and more of a dog-eat-dog industry.
With that said, I've let my VQ membership expire. Not that you can't occasionally get nuggets (especially recruiting) from Brent and his staff that you don't get anywhere else (you can), but there's just an awful lot of access to free information out there.

He had a nice column today about Pruitt's SEC media days. Also, IMO, Rob Lewis has the best VOL BB coverage, bar NONE I keep my VQ membership for Brent and his columns, Rob's BB coverage and a bit of recruiting - I like Simonton's (gatordawg to many on VQ) recruiting coverage. Brent's "do it the right way" approach tends to piss off many of the instantaneous info or the highway crowd but unlike many, many VOL sites VQ doesn't post click bait articles written for sensationalism vs accuracy.

Yes. Just one of my many issues with those Fox Sports Knoxville losers. It's no surprise that they're constantly ripping Brent and VQ. Title: Re: Do very many of you folks have Volquest memberships?

They seem to be hiring away every quality sportswriter in America.
