Global Recruiting Analytics
ePlay exists to provide players the numbers to tell their story with certified data and deep recruiting analytics.
Short Summary
At ePlay, our goal is to bring analytics and advanced statistics to all levels of basketball. In the short-term, our goal is to partner with various events in order to collect data and build out our underlying database. From there, we hope to have a unified platform of verified statistics and analytics for as many high school basketball players as possible. Through this data, we hope to create products for our target market of players, parents, and coaches. Our primary product offerings are our event analytics reports and our player performance reports which are sold on either an a la carte or subscription basis. We also offer an in-depth player resume which gives a player a full analytical breakdown of all their games in our database. Lastly, our other platform ProViews provides analytics for current NCAA players, so college programs can evaluate potential transfers more quantitatively.

The Impact
We believe that ePlay's platform taps into an emerging market of sports analytics and empowers amateur athletes to tell their story through numbers :
- Our unique EPR metric allows players to objectively quantify their performance to NCAA programs and professional teams overseas.
- Our products allow coaches and programs to more objectively evaluate player performance and make more informed decisions.
- As the NBA begins to allow high school players to directly enter the draft, we are also expecting an increase in demand for the analytics platforms that we provide.
Risks & Challenges
Currently, our main obstacle is the lack of tournaments and events due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Until the events resume, our team at ePlay has been working hard to collect data from past events in order to solidify our platform. Moreover, we have also been further developing our existing products, so we are ready for launch as soon as events start back up again.
