Scouts

NetScouts Basketball utilizes a network of regional scouts located in all areas of the United States and international scouts located around the world. All of our scouts have basketball playing, coaching, and/or administrative experience and have been trained to judge talent appropriately.

Since our scouts are located across the United States, we can produce scouting reports on all collegiate and post-collegiate U.S. players who we feel have the capability to play professionally at any level, either within the United States or internationally. Our international scouts provide a cost effective review of all international players ages 20 and under who may be available to play collegiately in the United States or on a professional international team.
