Your AQ Report

One score, five dimensions, measured against D1 benchmarks.

What recruiting at this level looks like

D2 is real scholarship money and real competition, and its recruiting runs later than D1's - direct outreach with honest numbers gets answered here. Chase the D1 rungs through the gap plan if the payoff numbers justify it, but recruit the level that is recruiting you now.

This guidance comes from the same engine that scored the report - one paragraph per level band, D1 elite through HS varsity, written to target honestly rather than sell a dream.

The five dimensions

Athletic talent is one of five. This is where the other four put you.

Critical · Recruiting
Your biggest problem is not athletic. Recruiting scores 25 because you have no recruiting video, you have not contacted a single college coach, and your online profile is incomplete. Those are three afternoons of work, and they move more of your AQ right now than a full off-season of training would.

Close all five to their next rung and this AQ goes 56 to 58 (55.8 to 58.2 unrounded) - athletic score 60.4 to 66.4. No single number saves you; the season of work is what moves the score. Every payoff above is the engine rescoring the athlete, not an estimate.

What you are good at
