Frequently Asked Questions
What Do the Star Rankings Mean?
★★★★★ (Five-Star Player) – Elite Division I prospect, typically recruited by top-tier programs such as Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, etc. These players have the potential to be impact players at the highest level of college basketball and beyond.
★★★★ (Four-Star Player) – High-level Division I prospect, often recruited by strong mid-major programs. These players have the talent to contribute significantly at schools in conferences like the Atlantic 10, Mountain West, or American Athletic Conference.
★★★ (Three-Star Player) – Division I player, but more likely to land at a lower-level D1 program. They might develop into key contributors but may not have the immediate impact of higher-ranked players.
★★ (Two-Star Player) – Projected to play at the Division II or high-level Division III level. These players have strong skill sets but may not fit the athletic or physical profile of a Division I player.
★ (One-Star Player) – Every prospect receives at least a one-star rating, regardless of talent level.
No Stars – This means we are still evaluating the player and have not assigned a ranking yet. A lack of stars does not indicate a lack of talent—it simply means we need to see more before making a determination.
Our rankings are based on in-person evaluations, game performances, and potential for development at the next level. Keep working, and your ranking will reflect your progress!
How Can I Get a Profile?
If you’re a talented prospect, RealScoutBasketball.com will find you. We attend various high school games, AAU events, and constantly evaluate talent both in person and online.
If you feel you’ve been overlooked, you can send us an email with your highlights, and we’ll do our best to check them out. However, due to the high volume of players, we can’t guarantee that every submission will receive a response.
The best advice? Keep working hard, stay dedicated, and trust the process—if you have the talent, the right opportunity will come your way!
What Events Do You Attend?
We cover a wide range of high school and AAU events throughout the Northeast and are continuously expanding our reach. Our team attends showcase events, major tournaments, and key league matchups to evaluate talent in person.
As we grow, we aim to cover even more regions, giving prospects greater exposure. Stay tuned for updates on the events we’ll be attending next!
Do You Guys Make Mixtapes?
Occasionally, we’ll shoot video if we’re at an event, but not everyone at RealScoutBasketball.com records footage. Some of our team members focus on writing stories, while others strictly evaluate talent.
We do not offer a mixtape production service. If you’re looking for a highlight reel, we recommend reaching out to videographers who specialize in that area. Our primary focus is scouting and coverage of high school basketball prospects.
