Abstract: An computer network portal is a central information source for college and professional sports recruiting coordinators, scouts and coaches to analyze and critique prospective athletes. The portal provides an on-line text and video database regarding high school, collegiate and professional athletes. For any particular athlete, the text database includes game statistics; tangible attributes such as height, weight, speed and strength; intangible attributes such as work ethic, off-season training habits and leadership indicia; and academic records such as grades, entrance exam scores and eligibility. The video database includes clips of sporting event participation and tested performance. User access is through remote client browsers connected to the portal via the Internet. The portal's web server presents a connected browser with a graphical user interface allowing the user to search, select and screen the entire pool of athletes in a particular sport, based on customized and flexible criteria.
