I\u2019ve gone down a rabbit hole trying to analyze the “Athlete ROI” of different zip codes. Basically, I want to build a heatmap that shows which high schools are statistically over-performing at sending kids to college on athletic scholarships (specifically D1\/D2 commits). My theory is that there are “hidden gem” public schools that produce just as many elite athletes as the $50k\/year private academies, but the data is impossible to visualize because it’s all locked in individual profiles. I\u2019ve looked at MaxPreps, 247Sports, and Rivals, but they are designed for tracking single players, not analyzing school output at scale. The Question: Does anyone know of an aggregate dataset (or a paid API) that links: High School Name \/ Zip Code Total Commits per year (broken down by D1 vs D2 if possible) Sport Category<\/p>\n

I\u2019m trying to avoid writing a scraper to crawl 20,000 school pages if a clean database already exists. Has anyone worked with recruitment data like this before?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
