@CoachBeede Through the pre-read process, recruited athletes can get a very clear sense of their likelihood of admission and sometimes expected aid package

So while this is true - there is a lot more clarity going into that admissions process than advertised at many D3's

Avoid this highlight tape mistake ❌⬇️

We just reviewed a recruit's highlight tape that starts out the way so many do:

With 7 made shots in a row

Being a good shooter will always be a valuable skill - but coaches want to see other parts of your game

What do you do that separates you from the pack?

For this recruit, they had a standout sequence:
- Block on the defensive end
- Long outlet pass to start the fast break
- Then saving a loose ball

The problem was it was almost 5 minutes into the highlight, so most coaches would miss it

The takeaway: Don't bury your best play!

This goes for all sports, not just basketball

Anyone can make a few shots, but your tape is your chance to show coaches how you are different

Make sure you take that opportunity!

[D3Direct @D3Direct]

In recruiting, it's easy to forget you are choosing a place to live for 4 years

Our advice👇

Take a break from the rankings
Ignore what other recruits do
Forget the fancy edit

Instead...
Go walk the campus and the town
Spend a night w/ the team
Find a place YOU feel comfortable

Long after the ball stops bouncing…

After you forget your stats…

How many games you won/loss…

The size of the crowds...

The awards accumulated…

Relationships remain.

@normalcyisok Very true - we could probably estimate this by sport, but it would take a little while

[D3Direct @D3Direct]

Going D3 is not “settling”

Going D3 means you're among the most elite high school athletes nationwide

Going D3 (or any level of college sports) is a privilege!
