🚨HEADS UP: If you were an NCAA Baseball volunteer coach in any years from 2018-23, you can enroll to get a minimum $5K, and potentially on average, $30K (or more) because of a $49.25 million class action lawsuit, per former Missouri standout and current Korein Tillery lawyer

One huge part of the recruiting process are 3rd party camps. Colleges rarely know how the data is collected. Incentives aren’t built for all athletes, biases plays a huge role, and volunteer labor does the heavy lifting without a standard protocol.. mostly by "winging it".

There’s a lot of really cool tech being deployed at the team level. One thing that’s helping teams with evaluations on portal guys is Telemetry Sports. There is no more hiding! Whether you are in the portal or in high school it’s better to get ahead of verifying your metrics!

Excited to be back on the road recruiting in San Diego & Orange County! Keeping the best players HOME in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA! #FTFO ✌️

Really curious to see how recruiting evolves in the player empowerment era. Kids are owning their brands now, but what’s next? Ownership of their data? Their data has potential implications on their career and is also a scarce resource that a ton of people value. 🤔

We hear that data is going to be the currency of the future. We think the same logic can be applied to sports. The data that is collected on young athletes is fueling a ton of decisions and is also putting a lot of $$$ into companies’ pockets.

Our team sees a world where athletes will have their own digital twins. At the pro level these digital twins will be be accessed by trusted advisors for training optimization. For younger generations these can be accessed by institutions for recruiting purposes.

Digital twins will change recruiting and athletic performance forever. Every athlete will have a verified, data driven version of themselves, measurable, comparable, and sharable with any program in the world. No bias. No politics. Just performance.

As a college coach, the guys we recruit are a reflection of us. So, if I recruit a guy, that means I am willing to bet my livelihood on him. You need to be coachable, high character, give effort, be a team player, and be a STUDENT-athlete. We're building men, not just athletes.

A LOT of changes are being made in sports during this athlete empowerment era. The script is being flipped before our eyes. Athletes used to be the product, and still are considered the product to many sports businesses. Will be interesting to see where this goes.

Our team is finding that a lot of the data resources within collegiate athletics is isolated. This isn’t specific to recruiting but in everything ranging from the training room to academics.

The world of data in collegiate athletics is scattered and disparate. Our team has an internal goal to unify these separated data resources to help universities maximize $$$. We’re starting in the world of player acquisition but that is just the starting point.

This is a solid take. The crazy part that my team analyzed through data, is that coaches prioritize measurement verification over the measurement itself. Athletes who reach the top of the verification funnel gain an advantage, regardless of what the metric says.

The issue with recruiting services and recruiting as a whole is the lack of objectivity. A lot of the process is based on “vibes”, momentum, and hope. Parents feel desperate to try and get their kids in front of coaches.

Pretty soon, every athlete will be walking around with their own data locker of verified metrics that they can distribute to schools on their own. I couldn't agree more everything gets verified! Schools prioritize verification!!
