Go where you are wanted
Recruiting Advice: as you navigate this last year of HS, seriously consider the school that has SHOWN you they want you the most. It may not fit or work, but find every reason to say no before you actually say no. Don’t worry about “level” or any of that. Sit down, and really look at what coaches have shown you are a PRIORITY to them and their program.

Foundation has been laid…back in the lab tomorrow, real potential for a special season! #RollCards
Junior guard Jordan Cain led the St. John Fisher men's basketball team with 21 points, but the Cardinals fell to Division II Daemen 74-66 in an exhibition at the KeyBank Center on Saturday. sjfathletics.com/news/2026/1…

Week 1 is in the books…Congratulations to our Practice Players of the Week! PPOTW consistently meet the standards of our program: Toughness, Enthusiasm, Sacrifice, and a TEAM 1st Attitude. Kudos to these two Sophomores for setting the tone during the first week of practice!

Everyone obsesses over level in recruiting, but here's the truth: After you graduate, no one cares what level you played.
Employers love hiring former athletes. Period.
Not because they were D1, D2, or D3, but because being a college athlete proves you have discipline and work ethic.

You get the full benefits of going college when you stay at one place for four years and get a degree
- The network
- Lifelong relationships
- Professors that know you
- Long-term career guidance
Transferring can be the right move for some, but it should not be the goal from the start
Do your research and find a school that fits your interests - not just your sport.
Garrison Knapp retweeted
Things you'll never have to worry about for D3:
- Pros returning to college to take roster spots
- Losing an affordable education due to injury
- A new transfer taking your financial aid
- Not being able to take classes seriously
- Missing out on internships due to practice
What'd we miss?

On Teams,
1. It’s not if you talk. It’s if they can HEAR you.
2. It’s not just about passing. It’s about passing the ball ACCURATELY.
3. It’s not just about running the Floor. It’s about SPRINTING the Floor.
4. It’s not about playing through contact. It’s INITIATING contact.

So many recruits dismiss D3 for one reason:
No athletic scholarships
But here's what they miss:
Many high-academic D3 schools meet 100% of demonstrated need w/ numerous covering tuition entirely for families that make under $200k/year
What you get is a chance to play your sport at a high level, a top-tier degree, and a network that serves you for the rest of your life
Think 40 years not just 4 years down the road
Comment below if you want our full list of D3 schools that have this type of program

If you're talking w/ coaches this summer ⬇️

Committing to play D3 isn’t “settling”, it’s a significant achievement of commitment, focus and hard work especially when 7% or less of HS players go onto college.

Off-Season Player Development
Coaches: Do your players know how much can change in ONE off-season
Too many players underestimate what can change in just 1 off-season
ONE conversation with a player can change the trajectory of their season & career & maybe their life.
What’s one area of each of your player’s game they need to improve the most that could change next season for that player and your TEAM?
