Unsigned Senior Virtual Showcase returns
For the last 15+ years, the New England Recruiting Report has provided student-athletes with the opportunity to earn exposure to college coaches through the premier exposure events in the region, unparalleled media coverage, and one of the nation's largest scouting services.
When the pandemic arrived in the spring of 2020, the sporting world came to a grinding halt and grassroots basketball was shut down along with professional and college athletics. That left a variety of kids looking for exposure and, with that in mind, NERR designed a virtual platform to offer local prospects an alternative strategy to help compensate for what they were missing.
What we found, is that for unsigned seniors, this was often more productive than the spring open gym and showcase that they previously utilized to help solidify their college plans. The Unsigned Senior Virtual Showcase included 50 players and ended up being more successful than we ever could have anticipated. All 50 players were recruited by college programs with close to 20 getting interest and offers from scholarship level schools.
Due to that success and the consequent demand, we are now bringing the virtual showcase back to help the unsigned seniors in the class of 2022.
The NERR-TV Virtual Showcase will include:
- Personalized highlight video
- Cover story on NewEnglandRecruitingReport.com
- A minimum of 3 social media posts
- Tailored content that can include stats, quotes, personal recommendations, academic qualifications, and/or recruiting information
That personalized content will be visible across all NERR media platforms including:
- A website that has averaged over 10,000 unique hits per day for over the last ten days
- Social media accounts with 50,000 collective followers
- A scouting service with over 225 subscribing college coaching staffs across the country
