The brief

Asher is a Class of 2028 outside hitter with real numbers — 6'0", 36.6" vertical, 11'0" approach touch (the D1/D2 recruiting benchmark), 3.9 GPA, and a USA Volleyball NTDP selection. All the credentials are there. The problem: they were scattered.

Instagram had highlight clips. TikTok had different clips. His University Athlete profile had measurables. His Field Level profile had game film. His email had references. A college coach who wanted the full picture needed to open five apps and cross-reference three databases just to know he existed.

Every high school recruit has this problem. Very few solve it. That's the opportunity.

Key design decisions

A "page 1" that says everything in 5 seconds

The hero splits into three data columns above the fold: 36.6" vertical · 11'0" approach touch · 3.9 GPA. Coaches scan-not-read; they need the physical benchmark and academic marker instantly. Below that, a callout notes the 11'0" touch matches the D1/D2 men's recruiting standard — as a sophomore. That's the whole pitch. Everything else is proof.

A structured "Coach FAQ" answering every standard recruiter question

Instead of forcing coaches to email a bunch of questions and wait for answers, the site has 12 expandable questions covering exactly what every college recruiting questionnaire asks: position, class year, measurables, GPA, club team, HS team, tournament schedule, film links, references, other sports, target program types, best contact. Written in Asher's voice, verified. A coach can DM another coach the link and say "read this before you email him."

Verified measurables table (not just headline stats)

Height, weight, wingspan, standing reach, approach touch, block touch, vertical, GPA — all in one table with the word "Verified" front-loaded. Coaches don't have to trust one number in isolation. They can see the whole athlete profile at a glance.

Direct integration with existing recruiting databases

The site doesn't try to replace University Athlete or Field Level — it consolidates them. Verified profile buttons link straight to both. The YouTube highlight reel is embedded. Coach Jake Burdick's email is listed. Every trust signal a recruiting coordinator needs is one tap away.

"Email Direct" as the primary CTA — with a pre-composed subject line

The main call to action opens Gmail with the recipient, subject line ("Recruiting Inquiry - Asher Brasel (Class of 2028)"), and greeting pre-populated. Coaches don't have to remember what to write in the subject line. They tap, add two sentences, and send. Removing friction removes hesitation.

Cross-linked to his club (Maverick Volleyball) and high school (Casteel Colts)

Every reference to Maverick Volleyball Academy links to maverickvba.com. Every reference to Casteel Colts links to their Instagram. Recruiters can verify affiliations without leaving the flow. (Bonus: it also connects two of my portfolio sites organically — both live, both real, both cross-referencing each other.)

The result

A recruiting site that a college coach can consume in 90 seconds. Instead of DMing across four social profiles and asking "hey, what's your vertical?" — they land, they scan the top of page 1, they know. The 12-question FAQ handles the next tier of questions before they ever get asked. Film is embedded. Direct email is one tap. Bookmark and share.
