Continue ReadingOne of the perks to being a scout opposed to being a college coach, is that there are zero limitations to when a scout can evaluate prospects in person. While college coaches are forced to go off film for much of their off-season evaluations, scouts are able to go to any practice, school, event, 7on7, and camp. Although there have been more limitations than usual due to Covid, I have had a number of opportunities to evaluate prospects in person since January. Between 7on7’s, Midwest Boom showcases, EFT training sessions, spring workouts, Rise & Fire camps, TopGun workouts, and the EFT/EdgyTim showcase… I have done in person evaluations on upwards of 1,000 midwest prospects this off-season.
Here is my 2022 all off-season team…
A couple things to keep in mind when looking at this list…
- These are only prospects that I have evaluated in person since January. There are plenty of players that I like, but are not on this list, because I don’t have a recent in person evaluation of them.
- I have evaluated over 1,000 prospects in person since January, and there are other standouts who did not make this list. It would be nearly impossible to include everybody.
- These are not all D1 prospects. These are all players that have stood out and will be a good prospect for whatever level they end up playing at (DI-DIII).
- Prospects that are not from Illinois have their state noted in parenthesis after the HS.
- Prospects are in no specific order within the position group.
