You don’t need to play 30 more AAU games to get recruited.
While on-court exposure helps, most recruiting decisions happen off the court—through film, outreach, and follow-up. Here’s how to level up this summer, even if your season is done.

🎥 1. Upgrade Your Highlight Reel
Your film is your first impression. If coaches can’t see you play, they can’t recruit you.
✅ What to include:
60–90 seconds of high-IQ plays, defense, and hustle
Your name, position, class year, height, and school
A full-game link in the description (if possible)
📌 Pro Tip: Ask your coach or a trainer to review your clips before sending. You want your best version, not just big buckets.
📬 2. Email the Right Coaches the Right Way
Blind emailing 100 schools doesn’t work. Smart targeting does.
✅ Use College Basketball Openings to:
Find programs actively recruiting your position
Get direct coach contact info
Build a short list of 10–15 realistic options
📌 What to send:
Short intro (name, class, school, position)
Highlight link
GPA and SAT/ACT (if available)
Upcoming camps or events
Ask if they’re still recruiting for your position
📱 3. Boost Your Visibility on Social Media
Coaches look you up. Make sure what they see helps you.
✅ Post regularly:
Game and workout clips
Event recaps or camp invites
Thank-you posts with coaches or teammates
✅ Use the right hashtags:
#basketballrecruiting #collegebasketball #unsignedsenior #basketballgrind
📌 Pro Tip: Tag schools and coaches who are still recruiting your position. If you’re on CBO, you’ll know exactly who to tag.
🔥 Final Thought
You don’t need more games—you need more clarity and action.
