Who we are

A group of basketball players in a team huddle on an indoor court, wearing black jerseys with white numbers. Coaches and spectators are visible in the background.

We’re a platform designed to give overlooked athletes the visibility they deserve — and college coaches a simplified, organized space to discover and evaluate talent on their own time.

Our mission is to support student-athletes who may not be destined for Division I but still have the talent, work ethic, and love for the game to compete at the next level. We provide a central space that college coaches can visit at their convenience to find players who fit their programs — without paywalls, spam, or pressure.

Every athlete who joins Hidden Gem Recruits gets a personalized digital player card that can be downloaded, shared, or copied into any email to college coaches. We empower families to take control of their own recruiting journey while giving college coaches a clean, simple, and organized tool to discover talent across sports like basketball, soccer, lacrosse, volleyball, baseball, and softball.

Our goal is simple:
To bridge the gap between underrated athletes and under-recruited programs.

Because every student-athlete deserves a chance to be seen.

What Makes Us Different?

Focused on Underrated Talent Many talented high school athletes go unnoticed by major recruiting services and D1 programs. Meanwhile, sub Division I schools rely on finding overlooked players rather than competing for top-ranked recruits.

Built for Small College Recruiting
Most big recruiting websites cater to D1 prospects, leaving smaller college-bound athletes with fewer resources. Hidden Gems Recruits is designed specifically for DIII and NAIA programs, where recruiting budgets are smaller but the demand for dedicated players remains high..

Simplifying the Recruiting Process
Although the platform is parent/player driven, we encourage highlight videos, full game links, and third-party evaluations so you can get a well-rounded view of each athlete—not just the proud parent version.

Whether you’re an athlete looking for the right fit or a coach searching for untapped talent, Hidden Gems Recruits is here to make the recruiting process easier and more effective for everyone involved.
