Europeanprospects.com has always been a trailblazer in the Basketball Blogging universe. We were the first Blog speaking exclusively about Young European basketball players and we participated to the launch of the first-ever general English-speaking-only Basketball Blog about European Basketball, i.e. BallinEurope. The content of the website has always been free despite having a multitude of costs to cover the events that we scout. However, the joy of discovering and analyzing new basketball talent is not a money-making-machine and therefore we are testing a new revenue source.
