6 Recruiting Tips From a Division 2 Men’s Basketball 

Coach  

Goal: College Athlete www.goalcollegeathlete.com 

 1. Be realistic – if you are going into your senior year 

and no division 1 school has called, you are not going 

division 1 

2. Go where you like the coaches and players – to 

many kids choose a school because they like the 

campus or the major, 80% of all kids change there 

major and you are going to be around the coaches 

and players, make sure you like them.

3. Distance – Do not let distance be a factor in your 

decision. Your family will always support you. 

4. Prospect should ask coaches tough questions – 

graduation rates, do I have a chance to play, how do I 

fit in, when I finish playing how will our relationship 

help me get a job, etc. 

5. Take as many visits as possible – Find out what you 

like and what you don’t like. When you leave a place 

look around and envision yourself being there. 

6. Make sure you the prospect makes the decision – 

not a family member
