What the Assignment Feature Does

The Assignment feature bridges the gap between agency scouting and player recruiting execution. Instead of relying on spreadsheets or separate tools, agencies can now:

• Select colleges directly from Rosterhunter’s real-time roster needs database.
• Assign those programs to specific athletes on their dashboard.
• Trigger instant email notifications and in-app updates for their players.

Each player sees their personalized list—already prefiltered by their agency’s recommendations. This removes confusion, speeds up outreach, and keeps everyone focused on verified college opportunities.

How It Works for Agencies

Once logged in, agency users can open their dashboard and:

1. View all assigned athletes and pending join requests.
2. Browse colleges and filter by division, grad year, position, or roster needs.
3. Assign target colleges directly to an athlete’s profile.

The platform automatically logs these actions and sends notifications—so both agency and player know what’s new without manual follow-ups.

Assignments are visible in real time, creating a shared recruiting workspace where data and communication stay perfectly in sync.

Player Experience: Instant Transparency

Players receive an in-app notification when their agency assigns them new colleges.
Clicking the alert takes them directly to their “Assigned Colleges” list—already filtered and ready to explore.

Each program includes:

• College logo, level, and location
• Roster need details (positions, class year openings)
• Links to the full roster view and coach contact information

Players can now take immediate action—researching programs, reaching out to coaches, or marking progress in their recruiting checklist.

Why It Matters for Coaches

College coaches benefit too. Instead of generic introductions, they now receive targeted outreach from agency-backed athletes who already match open roster needs.

That makes communication more relevant, efficient, and trustworthy—reducing the flood of unqualified emails coaches often face.
