Why I built it
That’s the question I’ve heard more than any other. Over 27 years in college baseball recruiting, I’ve advised 4,400+ athletes and helped secure over $350M in scholarships and tuition savings. Not every family needs a $2,000 consultant to get an honest read on where their athlete stands. They need clear answers:
That’s why I built Coach Drew’s Evaluation Desk. No fluff. Just the honest blueprint.

The expertise is the product
For 27 years, families have asked Coach Drew the same questions. His CDRI Evaluation answers them for your athlete, in one report.
What you get
01 · Their level
Their CDRI score from 0 to 100 and the level they project at today, compared with what D1, D2, D3, NAIA and JUCO coaches look for at their position.
02 · Strengths & weaknesses
An honest list of what’s working, what’s holding them back, and the areas to develop before coaches evaluate them.
03 · Development roadmap
A step-by-step plan with a timeline: which numbers to raise, which events are worth it, and what to do first.
04 · The coach email
A short, metric-first email built the way Coach Drew writes them, with “Coach Drew’s Recruit” in the subject line so coaches know who they are. Available only to players who complete the CDRI Evaluation and score 60+.
05 · Schools & coaches
Schools that fit their level, region, school size and major, with 100–125 college coach emails, including programs where their GPA unlocks academic money.
40–50 schools · 100–125 coach emails

Parents
Before you spend $500–$1,000 on a camp, ask two questions:
Don't waste thousands flying blind. Know their level, and the schools that fit them, before you spend on another event.
Current level → next level
That doesn't help a high school athlete who wants to play D1 or D2. What parents actually need is the gap analysis: where they project today, their realistic next level, what's holding them back, and a step-by-step roadmap to get there. This sample uses a made-up player.

Coach Drew Recruiting Index
The CDRI rates every player from 0 to 100 across six categories, weighted the way college coaches weigh them. It tells you where they stand now, and the score rises as they improve.
Highlighted: CDRI 60+, the score needed to use “Coach Drew’s Recruit” in the subject line.
Who it’s for
The rule
To use “Coach Drew’s Recruit” in the subject line, a player must complete Coach Drew’s CDRI Evaluation and score 60 or higher.
No other service, camp or evaluation qualifies. It’s how college coaches know the player has been personally evaluated by Coach Drew.
College coaches open emails with “Coach Drew’s Recruit” in the subject line because they trust that the player is a real college prospect. To protect that trust for every family, the subject line is reserved for players who score at D3 / NAIA level or higher.
They get their full CDRI Evaluation and the coach email, and they can use “Coach Drew’s Recruit” in the subject line.
They still get their full CDRI Evaluation, their matched schools and the CDRI coach email to send. They can’t use “Coach Drew’s Recruit” in the subject line until a re-evaluation shows a score of 60 or higher.
