How to get recruited in basketball

What college coaches look for, and how to make your basketball film easy to find as a Maryland athlete.

  1. Put a 3 to 5 minute highlight reel up first, with your best plays in the opening 30 seconds and your jersey number in the title.
  2. Add full game film too. Coaches want to see how you defend, move without the ball and handle mistakes, not just makes.
  3. List your height, wingspan, position, class year, school, club team and GPA on your profile. Those are the first filters coaches use.
  4. Play where coaches watch: varsity, club or AAU events, and showcases. Then send a short email with your film link to programs that fit your level.
  5. Keep your film fresh. Update it after every season and after big summer events.
Numbers coaches look for in basketball: height, wingspan, vertical jump, points, rebounds, assists, 3-point percentage. Only list numbers you can back up with a result or a verified test.

Questions

When do college basketball coaches start recruiting?

Interest can start early, but most real recruiting happens in the junior and senior years. NCAA contact rules set when coaches may reach out, so have film and a profile ready before then and you can reach out to coaches yourself at any age.

What should be in a basketball highlight video?

Your best plays first, 3 to 5 minutes total, a clear way to spot you (jersey number or an arrow), and a mix of scoring, passing and defense. Add full game film separately.
