Scout Trout Elite Prospect Ratings Edition 2 - Diamond Rating Achieved

Scout Trout Top 300 S.T.E.P Ratings

With over 80,000 college prospects that have been analyzed at some capacity, we rated the top athletes we found for ALL levels of college football. This algorithm and formula was designed to ultimately determine a prospect's initial level of recruitment, along with how to raise that standard, while identifying the weaknesses in a football recruits overall game. Some of the players that rated low are outstanding football players, but will need to attend JuCo if their academic performance does not improve. We will release the next S.T.E.P ratings at the end of the month, as we compile as much data as we can on new prospects and current athletes in our databases.

The Scout Trout Elite Prospect ratings have been released and we have our first DIAMOND rating level athlete, as Daimarqua Foster has committed to Texas Christian University. Foster was able to receive offers from across the Big 12 and began to receive offers out of the ACC from the likes of VA Tech, before deciding to commit to his all-time favorite RB's program in Ladainian Tomlinson. Our scale has changed as we had way to many 4/5 stars and instead of tweaking the system to cater to stars, we formed the diamond rating system. These players rate above a 9.0 on our scale where around 70% of points awarded are based off football criteria, 10% academics, 10 percent media exposure and 10% recruiting stock, while combining intangibles like leadership into the overall equation. The combine athletics portion is worth 20% of your overall score and most athletes tested out well, points are given in increments based off of each event of (.15) and (.25), with minor adjustments being made to the hundredth of a second or by the half pound or foot. Over 100 profile updates came in on our "update profile form" that is on our "sign up" page. Updates are made ASAP and always before the next S.T.E.P edition ratings release, as prospects who grade out well have been receiving offers. Study hard, as academics was able to S.T.E.P-erate those who excelled on the field, as well and get them very high up on our list. The next round will begin to raise the bar and average to make the Top 300 to a 7.0 on our scale, which will feature four 5-star and Diamond prospects only.
