National Scouting Report is in a League of its Own

National Scouting Report always has been America’s No. 1 college recruiting organization.

And for prospects, parents and high school, club or travel coaches looking for proof of that bold statement, there is plenty of evidence to back up NSR’s motto as “The World’s Recruiting Authority.”

Some experts have called NSR a boutique scouting service because it relies on a little-used, but proven process which includes one-on-one, scout-to-family relationships as its fundamental business model.

NSR is much more than that. It is the industry’s standard bearer.

The family-owned, Birmingham, Alabama-based company not only started the high school scouting industry, but it has initiated almost every innovation in how high school scouting is conducted in America and around the globe. Its recently released Evolution, a state-of-the art, interactive portal system, is without question the industry’s most advanced customer service product.

What’s more:

• NSR founder Bob Rigney started the high school scouting industry in 1980 in Birmingham, Alabama.
• NSR was the first company to send high school prospects’ profiles to college coaches.
• NSR has consistently maintained a reputation for using scouting and promotional methods based on NCAA rules.
• NSR’s approach to scouting and promoting high school athletes to college coaches is unique and has never wavered. Its on-the-ground scouting and verification process continually ensures college coaches that NSR only promotes legitimate college prospects year after year.
• NSR hires scouts who actually live in their respective areas, personally scout, evaluate, interview and enroll prospects if they meet or exceed NSR’s athletic and academic standards.
• NSR scouts are intensely trained in the company’s home office by staff members with more than 125 combined years of experience in high school scouting, college recruiting and promoting athletes to college coaches.
• NSR scouts can elect to be specialty scouts in certain sports or they can cover all college sports.

  

• NSR has solid relationships with some of the nation’s top organizations in a variety of Olympic sports.
• NSR promotes its prospects to college coaches in a variety of ways.
• NSR’s team of more than 200 on-the-ground scouts in America and 20 foreign countries work together to ensure that every prospect is given an opportunity to realize his or her dream of becoming a college student-athlete.
• NSR prospects have three layers of advocates, including a personal scout, a national director and the home office in NSR’s student-athlete support system.
• NSR’s production facility is in-house. No part of the promotional process for athletes is outsourced.
• NSR has more testimonials from college coaches and former prospects than any other scouting organization.

In comparison, other companies are either very small with few relationships with college coaches; regionalized with no nationwide reach for prospects wanting to entertain all potential college scholarships; or large telemarketing firms with dangerously low enrollment standards that purchase tournament rosters and connect with athletes without ever having scouted them or met them in person.

NSR is unique in every way and continues to spread its wings into nearly every corner of the U.S. with expansion plans in selected spots worldwide.

In the annals of high school scouting and college recruiting, no competitor, corporate or individual, has matched NSR’s ongoing reputation for customer service, promotions effectiveness and results. With a 95-percent placement success rate, NSR is unquestionably the industry’s crown jewel.
