What Is Scout?

Scout is an AI-powered assistant trained by the SportsRecruits Recruiting Guidance team to provide fast, personalized answers to your recruiting-related questions. Whether you're wondering when to email a coach or how to build your school list, Scout is here to help, right from your SportsRecruits account.

You can chat with Scout to get advice tailored to your recruiting process. The more you complete your profile, the more helpful Scout can be! Scout is currently in beta, meaning it is not a finished product. Your questions and feedback help improve its performance so it can support more athletes like you.
 
Why Scout Was Built 

One of the biggest challenges in the recruiting process is having access to expert guidance. Many families are navigating this for the first time, which can feel overwhelming.

By bringing expert guidance directly into the platform, Scout helps give every student-athlete timely, personalized support. That means better decisions, more confidence, and less stress during the recruiting journey.
