He can probably answer better, but I'll give it a shot:
It's QueenCityHigh.com, and it's a part of the Rivals network in the same way that MusketeerScoop.com is. There are a few people who put up stuff solely for QCH but at the same time there are a decent amount of articles that involve prospects or teams from around the area that get posted on there. (For example, if Snow wrote an article on McKenzie from Moeller, I THINK it would go on QueenCityHigh.)
There's also a message board, which I'm not sure if it is insider access only or not.
I'm sure rick can correct or elaborate on whatever I missed, but I think that's the basics.

Yep for the most part you nailed it.
The message boards on QCH are FREE... Anyone is more than welcome to go talk about high school sports on there. The more the merrier. We don't take it too serious and we don't get all into moderating it too much, so go ahead and trash talk.
The way the Rivals network works as AviatorX mentioned is any membersite on the network can link to anyone else's story... So as he mentioned if Musketeerscoop or Bearcatlair post a recruiting story about a local kid we can link to it. We do produce a lot of original content on there as well that other people link to...
There are premium stories that you have to be a paying member to read but if you are a premium member on any site you can read the premium features on any other site.... If that makes any sense? So for example if you pay to belong to Queencityhigh you can also read all of Snow's premium content at Musketeerscoop or vice versa.

Ricardo has really improved since the end of the high school season. One of the biggest things that's surprised me from the times I've seen him over the summer is how noticably stronger he's gotten when finishing at the rim. Several games I've seen him get absolutely hacked but he's been strong enough to hang and finish for the "and one."
His 3 point shot and ability to create off the dribble has also improved as well. Still has a few kinks to work out, but he's going to be tough to handle this coming year for anyone in the state of Kentucky.
I'd have to disagree that he is a MAC level player. He could easily play at a BCS or high major program. He wouldn't come in and start, but he would be a contributor off the bench and as a starter all 4 years. At a MAC school, he would come in right away and play and by the time he was a junior or senior be one of the best players in the league...just my personal opinion from seeing him probably 50 + times over the past two years.
With the schedule that his Holmes team is playing this coming season, we'll know a lot more about his game and how it translates to the next level. If he has a good season running the point, don't be surprised if some of the "big boys" come calling because of his size. I'm really looking forward to the Holmes/Princeton match up and seeing him and Jordan Sibert go at it.
