EBoss Hoops Scouting Service info

Well, the good folks at the NCAA now require schools that take scouting services to ask some questions of those that they take scouting services from. Because of that, I thought I'd go ahead and put up a blog post about the service and answer all of the questions so that I can direct compliance folks to this site and they can see that the information is made available to the public.

Those college coaches interested in samples of the service can email me at eric_bossi@ebosshoops.com. The scouting services costs 275.00 dollars per year, is delivered via email between 18-20 times per year and covers kids from all across the country. I am, however, based out of the greater Kansas City area.
