The 'Holy Grail'

If you are a particular kind of player and worried that you might be out of vogue for the college game, rest assured. We conducted discussions with college coaches and recruiters in an effort to reveal the "Holy Grail" of recruiting -- the ideal prospect, regardless of need, current or future rosters or recruiting classes.

That One Thing

Let's face it -- in recruiting, college coaches want it all. They want great size and physical attributes. They want the requisite skill set. And they want the intangibles, such as leadership, discipline and work ethic.
To discover which of those they treasured most, we told more than 20 college coaches that they would be guaranteed a "sure thing" in a recruit. But they had to choose one -- physical, skills or intangibles. Read the full story here.

Roster Size And Breakdown

Women's college basketball teams get 15 scholarships at the Divsion I level, and while that makes for a great deal of opportunities anyone who has ever coached knows that keeping that many players happy with playing time is impossible. So we asked our survey group what the ideal roster size was and ideally how they'd distribute that across the various positions. Read the full story here.

Sexual Preference Consideration

Often times it is the elephant in the room so we asked the college coaches about sexual preference in recruiting and whether or not they believe it should be a factor in choosing which prospects to target and offer. Coming June 24

Banning Early Offers

There has been talk of the NCAA banning its member schools from extending scholarship offers to underclass prospects. So with issues from enforcment to principle we asked the coaches where they stand on the potential change in legislation. Coming June 28

Best Club Programs/Coaches

Just about every college coach we've ever talked to has complained about players not being prepared for college basketball so we asked our survey group who they feel are the best club programs and/or club coaches in the country. Coming July 1

Changing Things Up

The game is changing, some parts for the better and others for the worse, so we asked the coaches if they could change one thing in the recruiting process today, what would it by and why? Coming July 5
