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.

Yeah if you need to pay to find out, you're not going to like the result

That's funny

What a ripoff. I used YouTube Sports and Kige only charged $199.

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

The shittiest part is it could be the best $500 a parent could spend

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

I want to do this for myself
Would be hilarious

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.

But only if you pay for it. Same kid, same level prospect that likely has already paid dozens of entry fees to camps prior. Yet only if you pay $499 can you be ranked. Say the top kid in the country refuses to pay. Will he not he ranked? Show me receipts.
How about Rivals/ON3 show us some proof of concept. Go gander at Rivals rankings history, add up the good vs bad evals and get back to us. Ill make it easier and just say the 5*s. Guarantee the percentages weigh heavily towards the bad. Remember 5* are projected as 1st round picks. Anything below is a bad eval. Many times, different scouts(journalists in truth for most) within the same network have different evaluations and rankings for the same kid. So who wins out?
Its exploitation of juveniles based purely on the subjective thoughts of journalists who spread rumors about said juveniles as a career. I hope they, Shannon Terry in particular, fail miserably.
