MadeReps Recruiting · Parent + Player Roadmap
Recruiting makes more sense when you see it from the coach’s side.
This is not a promise of a scholarship and it is not a list of “hacks.” It is a practical guide to how college coaches evaluate players, how families should communicate, what film should show, how to build a realistic school list, and how the player gradually takes ownership of the process.

What families need
Less noise. Better decisions.
Recruiting is not one email, one tournament or one highlight reel. It is a sequence: does the coach like the player, does the basketball level and school fit, does that team actually need a player at her position, do the academics fit, and is the timing right?
What coaches evaluateSkill, decisions with the ball, athletic ability, defense, competitiveness, coachability, academics, how her game fits the team, and whether the team actually needs a player at her position.
How to be recruitableUseful film, accurate information, a realistic school list, clear communication and enough consistency for a staff to keep evaluating.
How not to waste timeStop mass-emailing schools with no fit, chasing only logos, over-editing film, making parents the permanent spokesperson or treating every silence as rejection.

The five-part recruiting test
Can the coach quickly identify the player?
Graduation year, position, height, school/club, location and contact information should be easy to find.

Can the coach evaluate real basketball?
Highlights help, but longer lightly edited stretches and full-game film matter because coaches want to see decisions, defense and complete possessions—not only made shots.

Is the school actually a fit?
Basketball level, whether the team is likely to have room for her position, academics, geography, cost and campus fit all matter.

Is the communication useful?
A short message with current information, useful film and a clear reason for contacting that school is more helpful than a long recruiting biography.

Is the player taking increasing ownership?
Parents can organize early, but the player should increasingly write, call, ask questions and make decisions.
