National Scouting Report - Alabaster, Alabama

Michael Houghton

My son joined National Scouting Report in his senior year (we were late in the process). We weren't sure what to expect, but we have been very happy. Don Silk was very helpful and supportive to us. We ended up getting interest from schools that were not on our list and we ended up going with a school that we think it a great fit for my son & he got a golf scholarship! I would recommend this service to others trying to figure out their path forward with golf.

Our experience with NSR was that it was a waste of money. This comment does not come from any offers we did or did not recieve. It simply comes from the sales pitch we were promised and what we recieved. Our sales guy promised us all the things in the world. Built a strong relationship with us, then asked for thousands of dollars on the side because he was having a rough time.(we have it on audio which nsr didn't need to hear in our complaint) We then were promised the world with one of the head guys that took over and we literally have not heard one word from him since January-it's June now. No way to run a business and to let your guys try to take advantage of a customer like that and do nothing about it-it's disgusting. Your kid can do it all on their own. Get with coaches, twitter experts and others to help you. With football we panicked, not understanding the portal and my son actually got his most viable offer on his own. These guys don't deserve your money.

Working with Nikki Bowey was a wonderful experience. Her unwavering dedication to supporting softball players, commitment, excellent follow-up skills, and genuine desire for the girls' success are commendable. Nikki made the recruiting process a pleasure, eliminating stress and headaches. I highly recommend Nikki and all the valuable NSR services included with the program; she truly exceeded our expectations.

We’re very happy to report that of the various choices our son had in front of him at decision time, he committed to a great offer from a golf team/college that had contacted him originally through NSR!

Even for parents who are proactive and engaged on behalf of their talented high school athletes, the process can still be quite daunting. Engaging NSR on behalf of our son, a talented and aspiring collegiate golfer, was a great complement to our own efforts.  While we were able to establish connections a variety of schools through our own network, NSR’s platform provided a foundation of contacts in very meaningful volume that we would not otherwise have been able to create on our own. Keep in mind that their digital/web platform still requires engaged, ongoing effort by the athlete/parents—but it does all kinds of things that are very hard to do on one’s own. So as mentioned—not only did NSR help us succeed, it turned out that the final choice that was the best fit for him, came through NSR.

Don Silk of NSR is a passionate expert in collegiate golf, and in student athlete recruiting. Don himself is also a very accomplished golfer, having played at USC, and highly experienced in his approach for getting student athletes matched to the right opportunities.
We’re very glad we made the decision to add NSR to our various efforts, and obviously it made a big difference. We enjoyed getting to know Don along the way as well.

Thanks NSR and Don!

Don reached out to our son, Reid, in the Fall of his sophomore year. Our initial interactions with Don were very personable and Don came prepared to help us understand the recruiting process. The recruiting process can be overwhelming and a lot to navigate, especially as a young athlete. Thanks to NSR and Don’s help, we were able to have a framework and direction on how to be thoughtful through the recruiting process from start to finish.

Don was available at all junctions of the process with helpful tips, guidance, and encouragement. Don not only took the time to support our son, but also us as parents. It felt like a very collaborative process.

Working toward a goal of being a college athlete takes a lot of work and dedication. Working with Don and NSR allowed to us to see this goal is within reach. If your child is looking to take their sport to a collegiate level we would highly recommend NSR’s platform and guidance for recruiting!

Kevin Shaw and Jaime Mudge were absolutely amazing. They are honest and upfront with athlete's ability. They have guided our family through the recruiting process with nothing but professionalism. We can actually say that we look at them like family. They have talked us off the ledge a few times, as the process has it's ups and downs. They always reassured us to "trust the process" and they guided us through with ease. They are knowledgeable with the recruitment process and they assisted us with my daughter's recruitment to Division 1 Women’s Soccer.

Dear Tom,

We are writing to express our sincere gratitude for your help in getting our son Charlie, into Ottawa university, Arizona for basketball. Your expertise, dedication, and support were crucial in this process and we couldn't have done it without you.

From the first time we met, it was clear that you were knowledgeable about the recruitment process and had a great network of contacts in the basketball community. Your guidance and advice throughout the process were invaluable, and you were always available to answer our questions and address our concerns.

In addition to your expertise, we were impressed by your professionalism and commitment to helping Charlie achieve his goals. You took the time to get to know him as a player and a person, and you provided valuable feedback and encouragement to help him improve his skills and increase his chances of being recruited.

Charlie has been admitted to OUAZ and will be able to play collegiate basketball as a result of your efforts. We are eternally grateful for your assistance, and we will never forget your contribution to his achievement.

Please do not hesitate to use us as a reference in the future. We would be delighted to speak with any families or organizations interested in collaborating with you.

Again, thank you for everything you've done for our family.

Sincerely,

Ashley Feuerheerdt and Tamara Wu
