The College Database & Recruit Readiness Index (RRI)
Two premium recruiting tools, built exclusively for FDRS clients. The College Database and Recruit Readiness Index (RRI) give families clarity, context, and real data to make smarter recruiting decisions — not guesses.
Most recruiting decisions fail because of missing context
Families are often choosing schools based on reputation, social media, or surface-level interest. What’s missing is context: roster size, scholarship limits, academic fit, conference level, and how an athlete actually compares to current college players.
These tools are not public databases or generic calculators. They are premium resources available to FDRS clients and are designed to support real recruiting conversations, not surface-level research.
Understand the landscape before reaching out
Client-only resource: The College Database is available exclusively to FDRS families and is continuously maintained to reflect current recruiting realities.

- Physical metrics (position-specific measurables)
