Basketball recruiting: get in front of the right college coaches

If you're not on a major travel circuit, college basketball coaches may never see you play. Direct outreach closes that gap.

What college basketball coaches look for

  • Size and length for position.
  • Shooting, decision-making and defense on film.
  • Level of competition.
  • Academics and character.

Film that works

Full-game film is expected alongside a highlight cut. Show defense and off-ball play, not just scoring.

Numbers to have ready

Height, wingspan, points/rebounds/assists, shooting percentages, GPA.

Recruiting timing

D1 contact starts around the summer after sophomore year; lower levels recruit through senior year. Confirm current dates in the NCAA recruiting calendar for your sport.
