Recon Sports – Data-Driven Decision Support for College Football Programs

This is like having a super-analyst in the back office that watches every play, crunches all the stats, and then hands coaches a few clear, data-backed answers: which recruits to chase, what lineups work best, and what tendencies opponents really have – without the staff needing to be data scientists.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

College football staffs are drowning in video, tracking data, and stats but lack time and tools to turn it into clear decisions on recruiting, roster management, game strategy, and player development. Recon-style platforms aim to turn raw data into simple, actionable insights for coaches and front offices.

Value Drivers

Faster and better recruiting decisions (identify undervalued talent, reduce bust risk)Optimized game planning and in-game decision support (tendencies, matchups, situational analysis)Improved player development and load management (reduce injury risk, maximize performance)Staff productivity (automates manual film and data crunching)Competitive advantage via more consistent, data-backed decision-making

Strategic Moat

Domain-specific data (play, tracking, and recruiting datasets), embedded in coaching workflows, plus know-how translating football concepts into usable analytics gives a defensible edge over generic analytics tools.
