What are the options or does anyone do this anymore? There use to be a site a few years ago I think it was showingblitz.com
What are your recommendations?

247sports has good info but they don't cover everyone in the FCS. They only cover maybe the top half.

I have found Twitter to be a good tool.......IE: I log into Twitter, type "VMI" in the search area, and occasionally I'll see a tweet from a high schooler saying he "visited with a coach", is "planning a visit", has been offered, has given a verbal, etc.....more reliable than 24/7, or Yahoo/rivals......

Here's what 247 has for Elon. http://elon.247sports.com/Season/2016-Football/Commits
I wouldn't put a lot into their rankings, but at least they have some recruits listed.

twitter search tip "instead of just "VMI" add "offer" offered" offers, or commit, committed, etc- it will narrow down your results...lol, if you get alot, you can add football.."VMI football commit" most tweets are some variant of the words- "Proud to have gotten an offer from VMI to play football, or i am officially committed to play football for VMI, etc
tips from a twitter stalker :)

Don't waste your time other than Twitter searches
None of the recruiting services actually know much about the kids after the top 150-200
Almost none of the FCS kids are ever actually looked at and those that are are glossed over due to FCS offers and commitment.
I worked for Rivals. It's pretty amazing how much politics, where they went to HS, where they have offers from vs the next kid, etc... Dictate rankings more than anything else

It sucks using twitter searches for UND because I just get a bunch of German stuff to pop up.

For Lehigh, thanks to the superfans like Rich, I made a post detailing what "we know so far" about unofficial Lehigh commits:
http://lehighfootballnation.blogspot.com/2016/01/your-lehigh-class-of-2020-commit-tracker.html
The plan is to keep this updated all month with whatever pieces of info that I (and the superfans) can get.

Haha...yeah. That may be....I can't claim it though. What he/she said is TECHNICALLY true...I would just figure out an alternative keyword to search. xlolx

The underlying theme of the smack in the "und" post is a smidge deeper....and dark. xlolx

I usually get a lot of people talking about their gaming systems in my twitter search....
PS4, XB1, or WiU

Uh no, true Sioux fan here. I just know a lot of recruits will tweet UND and not necessarily University of North Dakota. Go search UND and tell me what you find. Thanks I'll hang up and listen.
