What a deal.



quote:

Rivals is charging high school athletes and parents $499 for an 'evaluation' by a Rivals scout.

The fee includes a scouting report, grade, film evaluation, coach interview, and consideration to be ranked on their site.

Are you really gonna get an honest and objective evaluation if youre paying the evaluator ?

Seems silly anyways since colleges have their own scouting departments. If youre good you'll get spotted

Nah. Spending that to go to additional camps would be way more useful. This is just more corporate exploitation of youth sports.

They told me my son is first in last out and brings his lunch pail. Deceptive speed.

I had to pay double ($998) for the same evaluation, but Junior got his third star!!!

He’s now ranked as the 9th best deep snapper in Louisiana.

Maybe but fake arse glitz ratings broadcasted does lead coaches to think something may be more than what really is

If the kid doesn't have the film to back it up a coach isn't getting fooled by that. 90% of this will be kids that wouldn't have had a profile at all and now Rivals might make them a two star. It'll be even easier to sniff out when it turns out that Rivals is the only service with info on the kid.

But the rating is getting him the attention. It’s a huge separator for the kid. Big advantage

From fans that follow recruiting who will wonder why a random kid with 300 yds rushing in his career has two stars and a detailed profile.
