Jason Lauren, NSR on-the-ground scout, writes NSR Facebook post of the day

“Scouted some very talented players last weekend at the Windy City Classic girls basketball showcase in Pleasant Prairie, Wis., and Waukegan, Ill. There were 34 teams from Wisconsin and 275 total, along with dozens of college coaches. It amazes me every time when I see college coaches herding around just a few games, while the other games aren’t watched by any college coaches. Why? Because…they go to showcases to watch talent THEY ALREADY KNOW ABOUT, not to discover talent. If a college coach doesn’t know about you before a showcase, don’t expect them to scout you. NSR prospects know this and have college coaches at showcases to specifically watch them. Got NSR?”

At National Scouting Report we actually scout.  That is what we do.  Jason Lauren, Southeast Wisconsin AD, and other dedicated NSR scouts do this every day.  The next time a scouting service calls you, ask this simple question:  “Where are your scouts?”  And when they say, “Well…we don’t have scouts,” you say, “See ya!”
