For families and athletes navigating the recruiting proves can be stressful, exhausting, and confusing. The key is to look at the recruiting process from a coaches perspective.   They are 2 main players in the recruiting process Sellers(athletes/parents/scouts) and Buyers(College Coaches/Recruiters).  In order to win at the recruitment game you must understand 1 key ingredient and that is VALUE. Yes VALUE you must know who you are selling yourself to. The way you can stand out is matching yourself colleges that are looking for the VALUE you bring to the table. For example if you are a great 3pt shooter a team that struggles from behind the arc will consider you a lot more valuable than a team full of 3pt shooters.  What VALUE do you bring? Is it size ,strength, speed, shooting, defense, rebounding,passing, dribbling. First you must assess yourself know your strengths and weaknesses and see how you compare to other players in the marketplace.   The goal of recruiting should be to find the right fit for yourself and that athletically, academically, and socially. Of course everyone wants to play big time basketball 🏀 but that takes big time skills. You must be elite at a particular skill you don’t have to be the best basketball player but you have to have an elite skill. Also you must meet the requirements academically and have a certain level of maturity.   The bigger the stage the more pressure to succeed. There’s millions of dollars being invested. Receiving a basketball scholarship is reward for a huge sacrifice from athletes and there families. There needs to be thousand of thousands of hours invested in order to achieve a scholarship. It’s no different from deciding to be a doctor or a lawyer there has to be a high level of focus and discipline and more importantly KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE.   You don’t want to miss out on your dreams because of a lack of knowledge.  You don’t want to be one of thousand that miss out on their opportunity....... https://www.dreamscoutingnetwork.com/...

Ncaa Division Ii NCAA Division II is made up of smaller public universities and private colleges. There are 290 mens programs, and 291 women’s programs, in Division II basketball. Each member college and university in Division II is restricted to 10 full ride scholarships for their men’s program, and 10 full ride scholarships for their women’s program. Unlike Division I schools, coaches at Division II schools may divide their allotted full tuition scholarships into partial tuition awards as a way of attracting more players to their campus. For example, a Division II coach may recruit 20 players for a school’s women’s basketball team, dividing the ten available scholarships between them.

How many scholarships are available for men’s D1 basketball? 

* Division 1 men’s basketball scholarships per team: 13

 * Total # of men’s basketball teams: 353 

* Avg. team size: 16  

NCAA Division 1 scholarships are hard to come by. Less than one percent of high school athletes will compete at this level. Each Division 1 men’s basketball program can award 13 full athletic scholarships. These scholarships, called headcount scholarships, cover all college costs, including tuition, housing, books, etc. After the 13 scholarships have been handed out, additional athletes can walk on to the team, but aren’t eligible for athletic aid.

1. Compete at the highest level possible:College coaches want to see you compete against other recruits. Whether its your high school team or AAU playing against other high level players is a sure fire way to increase your value in the recruiting market. 

2. Compete in the summer during live periods: This is extremely important because of scheduling. College coaches have their own seasons to worry about but in the summer they have more time dedicated to scout talent. Also because of AAU circuits they get to see you play against other talent they wouldn’t get to see during the school year.

3. Attend elite camps: In addition to tournaments college coaches also evaluate recruits at elite camps. Most of the elite camps are invite only which allows coaches to get a closer look on the players they like. Make sure to attend camps that are at the top of your target list. 

4. Excel academically Grade are very important to college coaches not only does it allow them to recruit you because they know you can get in their school but it also speaks to your character.Coaches want players that they can depend on both on and off the court.

5. Create a highlight film Highlight films are a great first impression they have to be made in a way to engage a coach to look further into them. Remember first impressions go along way. 

6. Be proactive Despite what families may think, coaches don’t simply discover recruits. Unless they’re one of the very best players in the country, recruits need to do some work to get noticed by college coaches. This is especially important in basketball where student-athletes are still allowed to talk to coaches via phone when they’re the ones initiating the contact.  

7. Know your best college fit Lastly, don’t forget to visit the college roster for every team on your target list. The last thing families want to do is waste their time emailing coaches at schools that aren’t a good fit.
