Tools for the part of recruiting nobody explains.
Getting recruited is mostly guesswork about things that are actually knowable. This is what has been built to remove some of the guessing, what is being built next, and a box to tell us what is still missing.
BusLoop · live
College coaches are hardest to reach at exactly the moments recruits usually email them, because those are the moments the coaching staff is on a bus, at a tournament, or working a signing window. BusLoop works out when the good moments are for every Division I men’s soccer program and tells you when to hit send. One-time passes, no subscription.

- Report a problem, from inside the appA bug or a wrong-looking result can be sent without leaving the page, and it reaches a person rather than an inbox nobody reads.
- BusLoop went liveSend timing for every Division I men's soccer program, worked out from the season calendar rather than guessed.
What is next
- Coverage past Division I men's soccer.
- A way to see whether the send you already made landed at a good moment.
- Plain-language guidance on what to write, not only when to write it.
In no particular order, and with no dates attached. What a client needs this month moves to the front of it.
Tell us what is missing
If you are a player, a parent, or a coach who has watched this from the other side, the most useful thing you can do is say what got in your way. This goes to one person and gets read. We do not add you to a mailing list.
