So this is my baby, it started as a small side project for me as I was transitioning from product management back into more technical work. I hadn&#x27;t written any code aside from some SQL statements in a few years before starting this project. A little over 2 years ago I began the coding in earnest for the project.<p>I&#x27;ve gotten a ton of really good feedback from the target market of people who follow college basketball recruiting, particularly college coaches, players, and their families. It&#x27;s now up to 500k in monthly pageviews, with 100k unique visitors per month.<p>I&#x27;ve gotten assistance from some amazing people who monitor social media and keep the site up to date. I also have scripts that monitor some of the larger recruiting databases to ensure that all of the information is examined.<p>Every line of code written on the project is my own. It is all written in RoR. Its currently hosted by Heroku.<p>I&#x27;d love to get any and all feedback.<p>I&#x27;m currently working on different strategies to get the site profitable. One is a CRM add-on for college coaches, that I&#x27;ve spoken with a couple of coaches about who seem excited about it. Another is a freemium model tied to new features. I&#x27;m also pondering a freemium model which would keep basketball free, but would charge for access to the football info. I&#x27;d love feedback on strategies as well.<p>Also, if there is anyone out there who loves following college recruiting, and would be willing to work for equity, I&#x27;m in desperate need of assistance. My future feature list is growing faster than I can code.
