Everything parents and players need to understand how NCAA men's basketball scholarships actually work — and how to pursue them strategically. This pillar guide covers scholarship limits across D1, D2, and D3, how coaches evaluate guards, wings, and bigs differently, and what recruiting timelines look like from freshman year through the early signing period. You'll find honest breakdowns of what AAU exposure really does (and doesn't) accomplish, how to get on a coach's radar without a top-100 ranking, and how academics, eligibility, and timing can make or break an offer. Whether your son is a high-major prospect or a mid-major fit, use this hub to build a smarter recruiting plan.
