ScoutForce Launches Enhanced Athletic Recruit Management Platform for College Coaches

ATLANTA, May 2, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Atlanta-based RecruitU LLC has launched its first product to modernize the college athletic recruiting marketplace. ScoutForce (www.scoutforce.com) is a recruit management platform that allows college coaches to find, connect, communicate and manage athletic recruits.

ScoutForce, created in 2009 and acquired by RecruitU in 2018, has been rebuilt using the latest technology platform and tools. College coaches use the platform to connect with prospective high school athletes via online recruiting profiles and direct invitation. It is free to coaches.

"When we looked at the athletic recruiting space, there is a need to bring updated technology and tools to college coaches," said Jeff Cravens, a 20-year digital veteran and CEO of RecruitU. "This is the first of several interconnected platforms that we are building to efficiently and transparently connect college coaches with high school athletes in all sports."

Historically, ScoutForce has served more than 1,000 collegiate programs with recruit management services. The new, mobile-friendly platform allows athletes to build comprehensive academic and athletic profiles, allowing coaches to focus on student-athletes that fit the criteria for their program.

"The Power Five NCAA revenue sports have substantial recruiting budgets to recruit and evaluate talent," Cravens said. "However, there are tens of thousands of college athletic programs looking to compete with limited budgets and – more importantly – limited time. Our platform is designed to not only provide tools for the college coach, but a robust database of highly qualified athletes and to make those connections. These programs represent the vast majority of scholarship and playing opportunities for aspiring athletes."

RecruitU partnered with Sly Trunk, a West Coast-based, full-service development group that has extensive data and sports experience. RecruitU and Sly Trunk are also developing a premium athlete profile product that will be complimentary to the coach platform and allowing prospective student-athletes and their families to easily build and maintain comprehensive profiles.
