6. Evaluating Recruits’ Potential
Attribute Analysis: Look beyond star ratings and evaluate individual attributes that align with your system’s needs. Consider how well a recruit's skills fit into your offensive and defensive strategies.
Potential Ratings: Assess potential ratings to determine how much a player could improve over their college career. Players with high potential may take time to develop but can be worth the investment.
Position Needs: Prioritize recruits who fill specific positional needs. If your team is weak at a particular position, focus on finding players who can step in and make an immediate impact.
7. Continuous Scouting
Track Uncommitted Players: Keep an eye on uncommitted recruits throughout the season. Opportunities may arise to pursue players who were previously committed to other schools.
Stay Updated on Player Development: Follow recruits’ performances in  high school or junior college throughout their senior seasons. This ongoing evaluation can provide insights into their readiness for college football.
