How RosterWise Analyzes College Soccer — Methodology

RosterWise doesn’t guess, estimate, or rely on reputation. Every insight we provide comes from systematic analysis of published college soccer rosters. This section explains exactly how that analysis works.

Why methodology matters

Most recruiting services give you a list of schools and tell you to “reach out.” RosterWise takes a different approach: we analyze the data that programs publish — rosters, schedules, coaching staff — and surface patterns that inform smarter decisions.

We believe families deserve to understand how we reach our conclusions. These pages explain each analytical dimension in detail, including what the data can and cannot tell you.

The five dimensions

RosterWise analyzes every college soccer program across five key dimensions:

1. Roster composition — the foundation of everything else
2. Class-year gaps — where programs need to recruit next
3. International composition — patterns that affect domestic opportunity
4. Coach tenure — stability and program direction signals
5. RosterFit scoring — personalized fit based on your athlete’s profile

Together, these dimensions produce a complete picture of every program’s recruiting landscape — not based on rankings or reputation, but on what the roster data actually shows.
