A recruiting network for athletes and coaches
An MVP recruiting network connecting athletes and college coaches, built from scratch on a current Next.js + Prisma + Neon stack.
- Next.js 16
- Prisma 7
- Neon Postgres
- Base UI
Situation
A recruiting-network idea with no code behind it yet. Athletes need visibility to coaches; coaches need a filterable roster of prospects in one place.
Constraint
Ship an MVP on a tight timeline, on a current stack that would not need re-platforming as the product grows.
What we built
A from-scratch build on Next.js 16 and Prisma 7 against Neon Postgres, using the Base UI component system. Athlete profiles, coach discovery and search, and the core connect flow, with seeded logins for evaluation.
Result
A working recruiting network is live for evaluation, on a stack the product can grow into. Detailed metrics are being finalized and will be published here soon.
