Get Recruited - The Basketball Scholarship Playbook (2026 Edition)
$97
Basketball recruiting happens earlier and faster than almost any other sport — D1 programs are extending offers to 8th graders, and the AAU circuit is where college coaches do most of their evaluation. If you don't understand how that system works, your athlete is invisible to the coaches that matter. This playbook gives you the exact roadmap to get seen, get contacted, and get recruited.
Families routinely spend $5,000–$10,000 a year on AAU fees, travel, uniforms, and private trainers — often without a clear strategy for turning that exposure into scholarship offers. This playbook costs less than a single AAU tournament weekend — and gives you the recruiting strategy coaches actually respond to.
