What separates National Scouting Report from all of the other high school scouting and college recruiting organizations?<\/p>\n

Is it that NSR is the world\u2019s oldest and largest college recruiting organization? Maybe.<\/p>\n

Is it that NSR is the only organization with 200 national and international scouts on the ground? Possibly.<\/p>\n

Is it that NSR is the only organization that qualifies prospects \u2013 academically and athletically — before enrolling them? Probably.<\/p>\n

Is it that NSR offers an unparalleled 18-phase exposure program to connect its prospects with college coaches? Likely.<\/p>\n

Is it that NSR has established and developed the best personal relationships with college coaches? Definitely.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a firm believer in the expression: \u2018It\u2019s not what you know, but who you know that will allow you to show someone what you know,\u201d said Robert Cagle, National Director of Scouting for NSR. \u201cMost everyone got their break because someone spoke up and was an advocate for them. It wasn\u2019t an email or a video. It was a personal relationship that made a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cagle took great pride last weekend watching dozens of former NSR prospects play college football on national television. He also takes great pride each week watching former NSR prospects play in the NFL.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are playing on those teams because of relationships NSR scouts had with their college coaches,\u201d said Cagle, who, along with wife, Susan, trains new scouts. \u201cCoaches don\u2019t always want to talk to high school and travel coaches. They definitely don\u2019t want to talk to parents. They want to talk to someone who can give them objective information. That\u2019s what NSR scouts do.\u201d<\/p>\n

NSR establishes and develops those relationships several ways.<\/p>\n

Company leaders attend numerous national coaching conventions. Not only do they meet with as many coaches as possible, but they also share uncommitted prospects with them who could be a fit for their programs.<\/p>\n

Vertical directors \u2013 national directors in various sports \u2013 frequently visit college campuses across the country to meet personally with coaches. College coaches get to know and trust them, helping those directors place NSR prospects.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is our ultimate goal to provide college coaches with qualified student-athletes in all sports,\u201d said Larry Perrin, National Football Director for NSR. \u201cWithout the relationships with college coaches, we would not be able to achieve this goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cNSR has formed many of these relationships with coaches and staffs over years of dedicated service. Many of our scouts were former coaches or collegiate athletes themselves, so we are plugged in to many staffs through these relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n

NSR scouts talk to college coaches at dozens of sporting events each week. They also reach out to college coaches who submit coaching requests asking NSR to fill their recruiting needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are hands on with our athletes,\u201d Perrin said. \u201cWe act as an advocate on their behalf. This is a calculated formula that works for our athletes. That is what makes NSR different.\u201d<\/p>\n

High school athletes have about a 5 percent chance of playing college sports. NSR prospects have a 95 percent chance. That\u2019s no accident.<\/p>\n

\u201cCollege coaches receive hundreds and thousands of emails from athletes, parents and travel coaches every day,\u201d said Cagle, a former member of the football recruiting staff at Ole Miss. \u201cThey could just be a number. If it\u2019s just another email in a coach\u2019s inbox, there\u2019s nothing that separates that kid\u2019s email from somebody else. However, if a kid has an advocate \u2013 an NSR scout \u2013 he has an advantage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s why virtually every kid we work with receives an offer. We\u2019re the doctors and lawyers in the recruiting business. We fix recruiting problems.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
