Kentucky Football Recruiting: SPARQ

A different kind of way to evaluate Kentucky's football commits.

There are various ways high school football prospects get evaluated. The "star" rating is the big one, but some sites attempt to rank prospects by who has offered. Beyond those two are the evaluations done by coaching staffs, and their formal or informal advisers. A sub-component that feeds into each of these camp's ratings is a prospect's athletic ability, and unlike broader ratings that are subjective, we now have a way to more objectively measure that fundamental variable.

The vehicle for bringing a ton of new data to the public is Nike's The Opening, and specifically the SPARQ combine it conducts for prospects.
