A Recruiting Board In Your Pocket

How the Clipboard works

Four taps, and the paper clipboard is gone. This is the same modern recruiting technology the paid platforms sell to big programs, put in the hands of every staff for free. It raises the level of the conversation: when your grades, notes, and contacts live in one shared board instead of a notebook, your whole staff moves together, athletes get seen faster, and families see a program that runs like a professional operation.

Why It Helps, At Every Level

Built for your side of the game

College

One staff, one board

Every area recruiter grades into the same board, a live NCAA calendar for your division tells you what today allows, and the contact log holds up with compliance.

High school

Get your kids seen

Keep every athlete's grades and notes in one place, run it by your state association rules, and show college coaches and families a program that operates like the big ones.

Club or 7v7

Track talent across events

Share one grade sheet across your whole coaching group, keep notes from every tournament, and hand college coaches a clean, credible read on your players.

Whatever your level, the same thing happens for everyone: athletes get evaluated and shared faster, staffs make decisions off the same page, and families see real technology working for their kid instead of a paywall standing in the way.

Built From Watching This

The clipboard under the arm

Look at what is tucked under his elbow. That is the whole product brief. Thirty years of evaluations, contacts and phone numbers lived on paper like that, and the software the industry sold to replace it kept losing to it, because paper works in a gym with no bars and never asks you to log in again.

Why This Exists

Paper does four things software keeps failing at

It works with no signal. A gym in south Georgia has no bars, and school wifi behind a login page is worse than none because your phone thinks it is connected. Everything here saves to the phone first and syncs later. There is no spinner anywhere in this app because nothing ever waits on a network.

It never logs you out. Install this to your home screen and it stays signed in, and your notes stop being something the browser is allowed to clear.

It takes a scrawl. Every note field is a plain box. Use the microphone on your own keyboard and talk into it. Nothing here makes you pick from a list before you can write down what you actually saw.

It does not make you wait. Tap a rank, type a number, done. Dragging forty names on a phone is slower than typing the number you want, so typing the number is the main way and dragging is the extra.

What It Knows That Paper Cannot

The four things a legal pad will never tell you

What today is. The recruiting calendar is not a month of one colour. January 2026 was a contact period with a quiet Sunday and a dead weekend punched into the middle of it. Head coaches say out loud that they lose track. The banner at the top of your board is day accurate, and where the NCAA has not published a calendar yet it says so rather than guessing.

Who else from your staff is already at that school. Two coaches from one program at one high school on the same day is a violation, and it happens because nobody told anybody. You get told before you log it.

How many contacts you have left. Six per prospect across his whole recruitment, one per week in a contact period. Counted as you go, not reconstructed by a compliance officer a month later.

Where your staff disagrees. Every coach grades independently and nobody overwrites anybody. The Staff tab shows who has whom first at each position and flags the positions where the room is furthest apart. That is the meeting agenda, generated.

Privacy

Whose board is this

Yours, and your staff's. Board rows, grades, notes and the contact log are all locked at the database to members of your program. There is no public read policy on any of those tables, so no visitor, no athlete, no other program and no search engine can reach them. A note you mark private stays yours alone, and that includes from your head coach.

A recruit's page on the public board never shows your grade, your notes, your rank or the fact that you are looking at all. The two halves of this platform do not talk to each other in that direction.

And it is free. The recruiting software market consolidated into one company that now works with 99 percent of Division I. We are not going to charge a program to write down what it saw.
