<\/a>\u201cWe think we will have the best system available for connecting NSR prospects with college coaches,\u201d NSR president Rusty Rigney said. \u201cOur prospects will be able to update their information more easily, and coaches will be able to follow them more easily.\u201d<\/p>\n
Perhaps the biggest upgrade is the development of a dashboard from which college coaches can save and track prospects they are interested in recruiting. Coaches will be able to log in to the NSR web site (www.nsr-inc.com<\/a>) to access prospect contact information immediately. In the past, contact information was only available to coaches through the prospects\u2019 regional searches and personal brochures. If coaches weren\u2019t on a prospect\u2019s list, they had to request contact information through NSR\u2019s corporate office in Alabaster, Ala.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019ve always wanted to protect the prospects\u2019 information, so we forced college coaches to contact us first,\u201d Rigney said. \u201cNow, we can protect the prospects\u2019 information without forcing the coaches to take that extra step.”<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re still going to be very protective of the prospects\u2019 information. We will verify that the coaches work at a particular university before giving them access to our system.\u201d<\/p>\n Because college coaches will be required to log in, NSR will be able to track their activity on the web site. Through their recruiting organizers, prospects will be able to track which coaches searched for them, who requested contact information, and who viewed their profiles and videos.<\/p>\n NSR will be making radical changes to the prospects\u2019 personal brochures, replacing the old four-page version with a modern two-page version. Each brochure will contain a Quick Response (QR) Code. Coaches will be able to scan the QR code to watch a prospect\u2019s video. If a coach is logged in, he will be able to print out the prospect\u2019s brochure, complete with contact information. Prospects will be able to log in to their portals and print out unlimited brochures to take to tournaments, showcases and camps.<\/p>\n Prospects also will have an easier time uploading photos to their NSR web pages and updating their online profiles. The new system will include auto-resizing \u2013 the same feature used by such popular sites as Facebook \u2013 which automatically adjusts photo sizes and retains quality. In addition, when prospects update their profiles, the new system will allow NSR to move through the verification and security process more quickly.<\/p>\n \u201cEvery day matters in recruiting,\u201d Rigney said. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to delay the recruiting process.\u201d<\/p>\n NSR prospects and scouts already have received emails informing them of the enhanced portal system. As soon as the system goes live, NSR will begin a marketing campaign to college coaches.<\/p>\n \u201cWe will be attending six or seven national coaching conventions in December and January,\u201d Rigney said. \u201cWe will be unveiling the new system to coaches in person at the conventions.<\/p>\n \u201cCollege coaches have been waiting for these changes. We get calls and emails daily from coaches wanting a way to log in, so they can access prospects\u2019 contact information right away. We\u2019ve given them that ability \u2026 and so much more.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After one year of planning, preparation and programming, National Scouting Report is just weeks away from unveiling its enhanced, user-friendly, interactive portal system.
