Wake Up! College Recruiting is About to Get Tougher!!!
The recruiting process for high school basketball players has never been easy, but now, it’s becoming even more challenging.
The game is changing fast, and if you’re not paying attention, you’ll get left behind.
With the rise of the transfer portal, more college programs are prioritizing experienced players over incoming freshmen.
This means fewer opportunities at the Division I level, fewer scholarships, and tougher competition.
Add in the growing influence of NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals, and college athletes are staying in school longer, blocking opportunities for high school recruits.
But here’s the deal: Complaining won’t change a thing. Adapting will.
Expand Your Recruiting Strategy
While aiming for Division I is great, you must expand your options. Division II programs offer scholarships too.
Junior colleges can be a great stepping stone. If you dominate at the JUCO or D2 level, you could transfer to a Division I school with a better offer.
The key is to stay flexible.
The landscape of college basketball recruiting is evolving, and those who adjust will find success. It’s not about where you start, it’s about where you finish.
So, what’s your plan?
Are you going to keep chasing D1 dreams without a backup?
Or will you take control of your recruiting journey and explore all opportunities?
The choice is yours.
