The journey · five steps, one line

From the line to the list.

  1. 01Build your profile

    Twenty questions become structured data.

    Position, class year, club and league, height and strong foot, GPA and tests, intended major, budget, how far they will travel, film. We don’t sort a player into a bucket — we build the bucket around them. One more question a day after that, so the profile keeps getting sharper.

  2. 02Find your fit

    Every program, scored twice.

    All 2,215 four-year programs, an Athletic fit for whether they can play there and an Academic fit for whether they would get in and afford it. Never blended. Each is six factors, 100 points, and every point opens to its reason.

  3. 03Build your list

    The realistic ones, not the famous ones.

    Likely, Target or Reach — set against this player’s own list. Every school carries both scores, athletic and academic. Then the roster math on each: who graduates at their position next spring, how deep the squad already is, whether true freshmen played, whether players stay. Read off 65,486 published roster spots, dated.

  4. 04Connect

    The coach, the email, the camp.

    5,646 coach addresses read off the schools’ own staff pages. The email is written from the data — the graduating players at their spot, their GPA against the admitted range, their film — and sent from the family’s own inbox. 1,692 ID camps, filtered to the schools on their list.

    Recruiting becomes measurable.

    Ready → emailed → replied → offer, every school on one board. Coach replies pasted in are classified and answered in the player’s own voice. Reminders fire on the dates that matter: the June 15 contact window, showcases, camp deadlines, fourteen days of silence.

Where everypoint comes from.

One school, one player, both scores worked through so you can see the points add up. Every value is a bucket the engine actually returns.

How we got there · 6 factors · 100 points

Freshman Playing Time and Program Stability need data we don't hold for every program. Where they're missing they come out of the total as well as the score, so a thin record never costs a school points.

Where this score stops

Being far below a roster's level is a cap, not a deduction: when Level Match lands in its lowest step the Athletic Fit is held at 30, however well the other 5 score. A long-shot school stays a long shot.

How we got there · 6 factors · 100 points

Every factor here is measured per school. Where we don't hold a column yet, they come out of the total as well as the score, so a thin record never costs a school points.

Where this score stops

Below 60% of a school's academic record on file, there is no Academic Fit at all — the score comes back empty rather than confident on a third of the picture. You'll see a dash, and what we're missing.

Shown, never scored

Program Trajectory — useful to see, but it doesn’t say whether you fit, so it never moves your number. Pro alumni add a small bonus, up to 3 points of 100, and never move a school’s band on their own.

No black boxes

Tap any score to see the factors that built it — and exactly what would have to change to move it.

Years out, not months

Too young fora college list?

The five steps above are the college process. A player who is years away runs the same account on the Youth Track instead: which club near you is a real step up and which is a lateral move in a nicer kit, judged on how their team AT YOUR AGE GROUP actually finishes — plus the ODP route, which anybody can try out for.
