Is your son or daughter having trouble being recruited?  Are they being recruited by schools at the right level for them?  Are you concerned about rising college costs and how to pay for them?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then the Basketbull College Placement Program might be for you.  Our advisors have a wealth of experience including:  former college basketball players and coaches, former high school athletic directors, college admissions counselors, and financial aid experts.  Between them they have worked with hundreds of families in the recruiting process and have placed them at DI,DII, and DIII colleges.

Most families spend thousands of dollars on their child for exposure camps, AAU programs, personal trainers, and then hope to find the right college when it could possibly be a $200,000 decision. You can eliminate the guesswork and potentially save thousands of dollars and most importantly make sure your son or daughter is happy with their college choice.

Here is what the Basketbull College Placement Staff can do for you:

-give a proper evaluation both academically and athletically

-connect you with college coaches from all over the country

-prepare a list of schools that fit both academically and athletically

-advisement on the admissions process including early decision, test prep, and essay choice

-guidance on NCAA rules and regulations including official visits and letter of intent

-assistance with scholarship and financial aid opportunities

While Basketbull primarily works with college placement, we also assist families finding the correct fit for boarding schools.  Many times families place their son/daughter at the wrong boarding school because it isn't the correct fit academically, athletically, or socially.  Basketbull can help with all three as well as knowing which schools have openings at what positions.  Basketbull advisors have experience as boarding school athletic directors and coaches, so they help you with the process.  Basketbull advisors will do the following:

-give a proper evaluation both academically and athletically

-connect you with boarding schools

-prepare a list of schools that fit both academically and athletically

-advisement on the admissions process

-advisement on summer camps, individual instruction, etc

-assistance with scholarship and financial aid opportunities

"Watching your child achieve a milestone in their life is one of the greatest gifts a parent gets – and the day Scott opened his acceptance letter was certainly one of those gifts. As I watched his face light up as he read through his letter I was overjoyed to see all his hard work paid off – and that is not always the case for college bound students. As I look back and recount when you and Scott met, it was your initial honest approach which made our teenage son so comfortable with the concept of working with you. Teenagers do not go willingly with a parent’s suggestion, and having gone down the college path with our first student/athlete I can attest that it was less taxing with you on board the second time around. Your candor and accessibility went a long way – it wasn’t until after the fact did I realize how Scott would reach out to you via email, and he whole heartily respected you and your opinion.

I wanted to share my sincerest gratitude for all the work you put in with Scott during his college process. I comfortably assumed a rather minor “parent role” because of your trust, honesty and professionalism – certainly a testament to you and your company’s continued success."

"During my senior year I decided to pursue the opportunity of playing basketball in college, however, I wasn't receiving any interest from schools.  I met with a Basketbull advisor to discuss my options and with his help through various connections and by choosing the proper game film to send to colleges, I was recruited by over ten schools.

Q: Does it cost anything for an initial conversation or meeting?
A: No, we are happy to have a phone conversation, meeting, or webcam conference to answer any of your questions.

Q: Do you only work with a certain caliber of athlete?
A: No. We work with a variety of students including: students who don't play sports, others that play for fun, and kids that are interested in all levels of college athletics. Often students attend schools that aren't the proper fit either academically or athletically, or both, and end up transferring. At Basketbull we try to find you the best match to avoid a transfer.

Q: Isn't athletic recruiting easy and don't schools that are interested in you just make contact with you?
A: Most of the time athletic recruiting isn't easy. There are many factors in finding the correct fit athletically. Are the schools that you are interested in academically recruiting you? If not, how do you try and get them to recruit you? Are you a top recruit or a backup recruit? What do you do if you're not being recruited at all?

Q: Does Basketbull guarantee that my son or daughter will be recruited?
A: No, there are no guarantees in being recruited. We put your child in the best position to be recruited by doing research, using our experience and contacts to help you find the right school.
