Portal IQ scores all 1,800+ Division I transfers on how well they fit your scheme, then sets that against an independent national rank. Your weights, your archetypes, your style of play. So your staff finds the right player before anyone else calls him.
Real available players, ranked by fit against their licensed consensus rank — both counted over the same board. Names withheld on this page.
Every Division I program's system, pre-built as a preset
Every staff works the portal the same way — a short list of questions, asked 2,000 times over. Portal IQ is organized around answering them, not around a feature list.
Every transfer carries a Talent grade taken from an independent licensed national rank — not a number we compute, so it is not us marking our own homework. Fit is where our math goes to work, and a thin sample is never allowed to read like a full season.
Why the grades hold upSet your stat weights, offensive emphases and defensive scheme once, and the whole pool re-ranks against that profile. A rim runner and a stretch big with identical national ranks land in very different places on your board.
See the workflowWhen a player fits your system far better than the market says he should, he's flagged on your board automatically — and the benchmark we measure him against is licensed from an independent partner, not a number we invented. Backtested on 1,111 real transfers, flagged players took a substantially bigger role at their next school.
Role Jump alertsSeason averages hide variance. Game logs put per-game production next to who the opponent actually was, so a steady 14 and a boom-or-bust 14 stop looking identical on your board.
What's in the dataBecause the benchmark isn't ours. The national rank beside every player is licensed from an independent partner, so when our board disagrees with the market, that's a real disagreement — not us grading our own homework. Our grading is deliberately hard, and no program can buy placement at any price.
What we do differentlyLoad a preset, scan the ranked board, compare four prospects on one chart, and export a one-page scouting report your staff can read on the plane. Minutes, not an afternoon of spreadsheet work.
From portal to boardMost scouting tools hand you a number and ask you to trust it. Four things we do differently — including telling you what our numbers can't do.
Our flagged players earn a bigger role at their next school — we backtested that on 1,111 real transfers. It does not predict a player will get better, and we say so on the board itself rather than letting you assume the stronger claim.
The national rank on every board is licensed from our data partner, not computed by us. We grade fit against someone else's benchmark, so the gap we flag is never us marking our own homework.
Only a small fraction of any pool earns an A, and F is reserved for genuine system misfits. A tool where everyone grades well is a tool that tells you nothing.
No program can buy a better grade or a higher spot on anyone's board. Evaluation is statistics only — no character, injury or off-court inference — and AI summaries are labeled and grounded in the same numbers you see.
No spreadsheets, no guesswork. Just your system, applied to every available transfer.
Pick your program from 365 pre-built presets, or set your own weights, play-style emphases, and defensive scheme.
Every Division I transfer is graded 0–100 against your exact system across 16 stats — recalculated live as you adjust a weight.
Rank targets, compare side by side on spider charts, flag the players your system values well above the market, and share a one-page report with your staff in minutes.
Every subscription includes the Program Report: your system, the players who fit it, and where the market has them wrong for your system — sent to your staff, print-ready.
The roles your scheme favors — from the same compatibility model the engine scores with — plus your weights and offense/defense lean, so the whole staff reads from one sheet.
The top available fits for your system, each with a Fit grade, an independent Talent grade, and the Role Jump flag when your board values a player far above the market.
The disagreements are the product: who the consensus ranks far below where your board has them, and which big name would burn your window. Plus your own portal departures, tracked with destinations.
Built from live data and sent to your staff every two weeks, year-round. It lands in your inbox ready to print; you never have to remember to pull it.
Two 0–100 numbers on every player: how good he is, and how well he fits you. Both from 16 stats, both consistent every time you check.
Every D1 program's system pre-calibrated from real season data. Load yours in one click, then tune from there.
Ten offensive and four defensive archetypes map players to the roles your system actually needs filling.
Per-game production joined to the opponent faced, so you can see whether the numbers held up against real competition.
Overlay up to four prospects against your system's demand shape on one chart — or split them into four charts side by side.
Players whose fit for your system sits far above their independent national rank get flagged automatically, with the gap shown. Backtested against 1,111 real transfers: flagged players took on a substantially bigger role at their next stop.
Print-ready AI one-pagers per player, and a data-driven Program Report tailored to your system — your top fits, market disagreements, and departures on one sheet.
When the data refreshes, a What's New panel flags who entered the portal and who moved meaningfully — small day-to-day wiggle is ignored on purpose.
Query the pool conversationally — "which guards fit a pack-line defense?" — and get answers grounded in the same scored data.
Simon and Mason grew up in the same neighborhood in Tumwater, Washington, and have been friends since sixth grade English class, long before either of them had a business idea between them. They both love building, one on the court and one in code, and NYSFitSports is what happens when those two backgrounds end up in the same room: built for coaches who don't have time to do either themselves.

Most staffs work through three questions in order. First, can the player produce at our level — which means reading production in the context of the competition they faced, not just raw averages. Second, do they fit our system, since two players can post nearly identical numbers and suit completely different offenses. Third, is the sample trustworthy — 40 strong minutes is not a season. The bottleneck is rarely finding stats; it is comparing every player in the portal on all three questions before rival programs make their calls.
Scheme fit measures how well a player's statistical profile matches what a specific system asks of them, rather than how good they are in the abstract. A national ranking answers 'who is the best player available.' Scheme fit answers 'who is the best player for us.' Those give different answers constantly: a rim-running big who thrives in transition may grade out poorly in a slow, half-court offense, while a pack-line defense values different defensive stats than a switching scheme. Ranking a transfer pool by fit rather than by consensus talent is what surfaces players other programs overlook.
The common definition is a player whose fit for your system is far better than their national ranking suggests — consensus rankings reward production at a high-major program, while your system may need a specific skill a mid- or low-major player supplies at a fraction of the recruiting competition. Portal IQ surfaces those players automatically and flags them on your board. What the flag has actually been shown to predict is worth being precise about: we backtested it against 1,111 real spring-2025 transfers, and flagged players went on to a much bigger role at their next school — a median of roughly eight more minutes per game — but it did not predict that a player would improve statistically. We label it a role-and-opportunity signal for that reason rather than claiming it finds undervalued talent.
Season averages hide variance completely: a player scoring 14 a game on 6-and-22 nights is a different recruiting decision than one scoring 14 every night. Game logs are what separate them — per-game production joined to who the opponent was, so you can see whether the numbers held up against quality competition or came against the weakest teams on the schedule. Sample size matters too: a percentage built on 20 attempts should not be trusted like one built on 200, and any evaluation worth paying for accounts for that rather than taking small samples at face value.
No single stat carries an evaluation, which is why composites exist. Portal IQ scores every player across 16 statistical categories covering both ends of the floor. The weighting matters more than the list — the same inputs produce very different rankings depending on what a system prioritizes, which is the entire argument for scoring fit per program rather than publishing one universal ranking.
Portal IQ is a transfer portal analytics platform for NCAA Division I men's basketball coaching staffs, built by NYSFitSports LLC. It pairs an independent licensed national rank, which measures how good a player is regardless of system, with a Fit score that re-ranks the same pool against one program's specific scheme across 16 statistical categories. You get a board ordered by what your system actually needs, in minutes rather than weeks.
The Talent grade answers 'how good is this player, independent of any team's system.' It comes from an independent licensed national rank rather than a number we compute, so it is not tuned per program. The Fit score answers 'how good is this player for us.' You set your stat priorities, offensive emphases and defensive scheme, and the same pool is re-scored against that profile — including adjustments for the quality of competition a player faced and how much you should trust the sample. The Fit score is what every board is ordered by; the national rank shown beside it is licensed from an independent partner, not computed by us.
Portal IQ is $3,500 per year, and every program's first year is $995. Both numbers apply to everyone: any program joining in any year pays the first-year rate, and every program renews at the same list price. There are no tiers, no per-seat math, and no hidden enterprise pricing. Every feature is included at either rate — Talent and Fit scoring, every player in the pool, all 365 team presets, comparisons, AI scouting reports, and the Program Report delivered to your staff through the cycle. We state the renewal amount again in writing 30 days before it charges.
Three reasons you can check independently. The national rank on every player is licensed from an established third-party data partner rather than computed by us, so when our board disagrees with the market you are seeing a real disagreement, not us grading our own homework. Our grading is deliberately hard — only a small fraction of any pool earns an A range, because a grade everyone can earn tells you nothing. And no program can pay for placement or a better grade, at any price. We also publish what our numbers do not do: we tell you where a signal predicts opportunity rather than improvement, instead of letting you assume the stronger claim.
Licensed statistical data covering Division I men's basketball players in the transfer portal — real season statistics, national rankings, position, class year, conference and school — kept current through the portal window. Evaluation is statistics only: no character, injury or off-court inference. AI-written scouting summaries are grounded in the same statistics shown on screen and are labeled as AI-generated.
Portal IQ is built to operate as an NCAA recruiting/scouting service under Bylaw 13.14, including identical pricing for every subscribing program — a core requirement of that classification.
After you request access, we send your athletic department a standard invoice through Stripe. Pay by card or however your business office prefers. Your subscription renews annually so your board never goes dark mid-portal-season, and you can cancel before any renewal.
