- Is it like PSA grading, if you get a 5 star you get charged a premium?* - By WOK September 24, 2026 at 12:48:42 PM
- FFS. Another sign of enshittification and an access barrier for some athletes/families* - By Voltron Blue September 24, 2026 at 12:48:33 PM
- Shannon Terry is the consummate entrepreneur (not necessarily complimentary or derogatory). (nm) - By suede September 24, 2026 at 12:48:24 PM
  - He's turned it up to 11 with ads on his site even for paid subs and now this. I'd say he's past the derogatory line* - By Voltron Blue September 24, 2026 at 12:49:25 PM

- Wtf? Is there any actual value to the kid in this?* - By hurryup September 24, 2026 at 12:47:41 PM
- If you are a hot shot you don't need it but rivals needs you . "Here are the 500 best athletes that gave me money"* - By chiwalker September 24, 2026 at 12:46:27 PM
- BS, another way to milk money from athletes/families. Pay for an evaluation or you won't be in our rankings.... - By ajs September 24, 2026 at 12:43:58 PM
  - It will absolutely reduce the value of Rivals to coaches if significant numbers of kids don’t pay up. - By hurryup September 24, 2026 at 12:50:24 PM
- Sounds like Perfect Game in baseball, total sham.* - By MasterBates September 24, 2026 at 12:41:48 PM
