What is Roughcut?

Roughcut is a platform that empowers student-athletes to take control of their recruiting journey. We connect you with expert evaluators who provide verified, personalized feedback —so you know exactly where you stand, what to focus on, what to improve onand how to improve. No more guesswork, no more wasted time or money—just honest feedback and a roadmap to your best-fit programs.

The College Recruiting Process Is Broken

Athletes spend thousands of dollars chasing exposure at tournaments and showcases, with no real feedback on where they stand, what to improve on or how to improve.

Coaches are overwhelmed by generic highlight reels and mass emails, making it impossible to identify the right players for their programs.

Roughcut flips the script by connecting athletes directly with college-level experts who provide honest, actionable evaluations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about the Roughcut evaluation process.

Who evaluates my profile?
Your evaluation is completed by current or former college experts with significant experience in your sport. All evaluators have extensive experience in player assessment and development at the collegiate level.
How long does the evaluation process take?
Most evaluations are completed within 7-10 business days after submitting your video and completing your profile. This timeline ensures our evaluators can provide thorough, thoughtful feedback on your performance.
What type of video should I submit?
We require both highlight footage and unedited game footage. The highlight video (2-3 minutes) showcases your best moments, while the uncut game footage (15-20 minutes) allows evaluators to see your overall performance, decision-making, and how you respond in different game situations.
Will colleges see my evaluation?
Your evaluation is private and only shared with you. However, based on your evaluation results, we can provide guidance on which level of college programs might be a good fit, and you can choose to share your evaluation with coaches if you wish.
What's included in my evaluation report?
Your evaluation report includes detailed analysis of your technical skills, physical attributes, game awareness, and position-specific abilities. It also provides specific development recommendations, suggested drills, and guidance on which collegiate levels might be appropriate targets.
