Super Prep is a former sports magazine that was based in Laguna Beach, California. It was published in 1985 by Allen Wallace, a lawyer. Its main focus is to provide recruiting information on high school football players.[1] [2] [3] [4]

In 1987, The Boston Globe wrote: "In three short years, Super Prep has become an essential tool for recruiting coordinators nationwide."[5] The San Diego Union-Tribune called it "one of the more respected services," and the Los Angeles Times called it "usually a reliable source".[6] [7]

SuperPrep was folded into TheInsiders.com, another recruiting site, in 2003.[8] The final SuperPrep print magazine was published in 2012.[9]
