How do I get a Scout.com Recruiting Profile?
As one of the larger websites that cover prep athletics, Scout.com has a database that includes some of the best athletes throughout the country in a number of different sports. And while it is not the only site doing this, college coaches do look at the database and may use it to find names to add to their prospective recruiting list.
While it is not a make or break in the recruiting process, it is a nice addition to your recruiting resume to have your profile in that top prospect database. At the very least, it is not going to hurt anything if you submit proper information and keep them updated. But the question is how do you get a Scout.com Recruiting Profile?
Let me mention that before you try this, I would recommend having some solid stats and Division I interest to back up your claim of how good of a player you are. Chances are that if you should be listed in that database, then you definitely should have at least a minor amount of interest from schools at the Division I level.
The first place I would recommend is find a contact page for the staff of their national recruiting site. That is usually the first and best way to find someone who has access to adding and updating players in the database. When doing this, you will need to be patient because these analysts do get a lot of similar requests from other athletes. And if you wait a week and don’t hear back/are not listed in the database, then it is time to move on to someone else.
If you have the Division I attention and the stats, you might as well keep emailing them until someone responds to you. Again, there is no reason not to get listed in this database because it will help you with colleges and potential articles from Scout.com in the future.

It’s ironic that this article was just written. It was only last week that I filled out this scout.com prospective athlete form. I also e-mailed my areas recruiting director.
Admin, I just realized that I got a Rivals profile, but was wondering how to add my info, film, and pic to it while also removing schools listed that aren’t interested with schools that are (remove Villanova, add Hawaii). Thanks, and here’s the link:

What are the chances of them replying back?
I would like to get my highlight film submitted to the colleges listed on my page.
Please actually read the article
