Too many coaches out there shutting down interest from NAIA’s because a kid may have D2 offers or interest. A lot of DI guys, not just D2 guys, would have a hard time getting minutes at some NAIA’s ...get out and watch small college basketball, HOOPERS on EVERY level! #facts

A lot of posts about how many D1 coaches are in attendance or at a court watching. NAIA-D2-D3 coaches out too but you don’t mention them,but you take the same amount of 💵 from them to attend as the D1 & that is part of why ppl don’t value their scholarships! D1💵=to all levels💵

It’s crazy how the mindset is of some of these kids still available, their parents and their “handlers”...am I missing something? D2, NAIA & NJCAA 💵 is the same value as DI 💵 but it’s not good enough for them! Opportunity & Education matter...degrees don’t say DI, D2, NAIA

If the average person knew what “recruiting” was really like?!?!? They would probably ask: Why do we do this? ...every coach has stories dealing with kids, parents or other coaches that you just wouldn’t believe. Social-media “reality” is killing this generations mindset.

Kid has this “trainer” in his ear telling him he’s better than the offers he’s received...not his coach, his trainer, who obviously knows something the college coaches don’t. You are what level you get offered & those opportunity’s are a blessing DI, NAIA, DII, DIII, USCAA

Basketball is a simple game, but playing simple basketball is very difficult. TEAMS that play hard, play smart and play together are not mistake free, but they can overcome those mistakes because of their high level on caring to sacrifice for one another. Talk & touches matter!
