Website

Prep Network runs a network of hyper-local, sport-specific media sites and organizes hundreds of events to boost exposure for high school and youth athletes. Its digital media publishes player analysis, rankings, and recruiting news on sites like PrepHoops, PrepGirlsHoops, PrepRedzone, and PrepDig, with more than 400 writers contributing; most content is behind a paywall, and subscription revenue funds the company’s scouting network. The company’s events—tournaments and player showcases—allow athletes to compete in front of college coaches and its own scouts, creating recruitment opportunities across the country. It targets non-elite but strong mid- to lower-level prospects (D2, D3, NAIA, JUCO) and recently partnered with Maple Park Capital Partners to expand its footprint and content, aiming to widen access to exposure and recruitment while growing its media and events platform.

What believers are saying

  • Ian Kenyon joined May 15, 2026, upgrading content quality and newsroom discipline.
  • Northwest Designs and USR partnerships deepen event monetization and athlete data capture.
  • Jessie Hill, Pat Buchanan, and Ryan LaCasse strengthen 2026 event execution capacity.

What critics are saying

  • Prep Network still depends on paywalled scouting content against Hudl, MaxPreps, and 247Sports.
  • Live events face weather, travel, and staffing failures across 450-plus annual events.
  • If younger families stop paying for exposure, the subscription model and scouting flywheel break.

What makes Prep Network unique

  • Prep Network’s 2026 Coast 2 Coast acquisition extends basketball from middle school upward.
  • USR partnership standardizes combine testing across 100-plus 2026 showcases nationwide.
  • Maple Park Capital and Jason Kidd signal capital access and credibility with families.
