RDM · RECRUITING DATA MINING
The old recruiting playbook is gone. Rosters flip every summer, the portal never closes, and the timeline you were told to follow no longer exists. When the rules disappear, the families who win are the ones reading the data.
THE PROBLEM
Advice that worked five years ago — pick a level, email a long list of coaches, wait for junior year — assumes a stable system. That system is gone. Openings appear and vanish in weeks, and they rarely show up anywhere a family would think to look.
01
Programs now reload through transfers each year. A school that looked wide open in the fall can fill your athlete's spot with a proven college player by spring — and you'd never know from its website.
02
Changes to roster limits, scholarships and NIL mean the number of real openings at each program is shifting year to year. "How many spots are there?" is now a research question, not a known fact.
03
Some programs commit early, some wait for the portal to settle, some recruit late off summer data. Following one generic timeline means being early to the wrong schools and late to the right ones.
04
Coaches get more emails than ever, many written by software. A message only lands when it shows you know the program's actual need — and that knowledge lives in the data, not in a template.
WHAT GUESSING COSTS
Showcases & camps
[$ RANGE]
per event — often at places the programs that fit your athlete aren't scouting
Profile platforms
[$ RANGE]
per year — for visibility, but not for knowing where the openings are
Missed windows
Priceless
a spot that opened and closed before anyone in your house knew it existed
RDM runs before any of that spending. It tells you which programs, events and coaches are worth your time and money — so the rest of the budget goes where it can actually move the needle.
THE VALUE OF RECRUITING DATA MINING
Every program leaves a trail: who it signed, who it lost, who it pulled from the portal, where its staff shows up in July. RDM pulls those signals together and measures them against your athlete, so you see openings as they form — not after they close.
Who's graduating, who's returning, and where a program will need bodies in your athlete's class.
Which programs fill through transfers and which still build from high school — the difference between a real shot and a closed door.
The profiles of recent signees at your athlete's position, so "fit" is measured against real players, not a division label.
New coaches reshape rosters. RDM flags staff changes and who now owns recruiting for your athlete's position.
Which events and camps a program's recent recruits came through — so you spend on the showcases that matter.
Admissions ranges matched to your athlete's grades and intended major, including where athletics truly helps.

WHAT A MINED PROGRAM LOOKS LIKE
Each program in your RDM report comes with the signals behind the call. Illustrative layout — your report fills these from real data.

RDM VS. BLASTING
Automation tools make it easy to reach hundreds of coaches. None of them tell you whether a program has room for your athlete. RDM answers that first — then every message you send has a reason behind it.
| — | Outreach Blasting | RDM |
|---|---|---|
| Starting question | How many coaches can I reach? | Which programs actually need my athlete? |
| Roster openings | Assumed | Mined by position and class year |
| Transfer portal | Ignored | Each program's portal reliance flagged |
| Fit | Division and region filters | Benchmarked against recent signees |
| Who gets contacted | Whoever is listed | The coach who owns your athlete's position |
| When things change | You find out late | Signals refresh as rosters move |
Already using an outreach tool? Keep it. Point it at the programs RDM surfaces and it finally has something worth sending.
Find out where your athlete's openings really are — before you pay for another showcase or send another email.
