It’s hilarious, “sees the game well”. Total bullcrap. Probably 30 generic statements where you can customize them per player. See he’s small, puck these statements. Higher end, pick these.
When you know the player and you read it, its embarrassing.
Like any kid in AA or above gets these emails from
“Scouts” saying they will evaluate your kid for a fee and it’s a running joke in the world, then these guys are doing these write ups.

Yep.
I've done these for Soccer and the thing is, I'm not a Scout, I was a coach. I was actually watching the players because I was potentially selecting for a team.
Scouting reports were useless. Its just word salad. I remember watching Moneyball and the scene where they're sitting at a table talking about players had me laughing my ass off!
"Hes big! Has the toolbox! Ugly girlfriend means no confidence! Etc."
Its accurate as to how some scouts speak and think, but its complete garbage.
