Former College Coaches Matt Bright & Steve Schafer are joined by renown Basketball Trainer Vaughn Compton, whose clients range from NBA Players to Middle Schoolers. Listen in as Vaughn shares insights into attacking deficiencies in your game that might be keeping you from playing at the next level.

Hosts & former college coaches Matt Bright and Steve Schafer discuss the importance of athletes going where they are wanted and can play. They emphasize that receiving a camp invite or a coach contacting a high school or club coach doesn't guarantee an offer. A personalized email, a coach watching a player in person, and direct communication indicate warmer interest. Unofficial and official visits signify strong interest, with the latter often leading to offers. The hosts stress that "offer" doesn't always mean athletic scholarship money, especially for D3 and NAIA schools. They advise players to consider factors like playing time, program fit, and coach enthusiasm. It's crucial to focus on schools that show genuine interest and avoid chasing unattainable options. The hosts conclude by reminding athletes that rejection is part of the process and to embrace the schools that truly want them. They encourage players and parents to prioritize happiness and development when making their college decision.
