Episode 11: The High Academic D3 Episode with Hamilton College Head Coach Mahogany Green

Jared here. Today’s podcast tackles a very popular niche in college sports - High Academic D3. I’m joined by Mahogany Green, Head Women’s Basketball Coach at Hamilton College. Together, we explore some of the key challenges and strategies involved in recruiting at a high academic D3 school. From the recruiting process to the admissions process to academic support and financial aid, there is no stone left unturned in this interview.

Coach Green also shares her personal journey as an athlete, including the incredible story of how she was recruited to Cleveland State after tearing both of her ACLs. Despite facing major setbacks, she was shown unwavering support from her coaches, which not only shaped her college experience but also taught her lifelong lessons about resilience and the value of a strong support system. You’ll love learning how she passes those lessons on to her players.

We also dive into the realities of being a high-academic D3 athlete, and the pressures that come with balancing academics, athletics and a higher than average fear of failure. Coach Green’s candid, no-nonsense approach provides valuable insight into how recruits can find the right fit for their future, whether it’s on the court or in the classroom.

This episode is packed with practical advice, powerful stories, and a wealth of knowledge. Don’t miss it!
