2020 was a strange year. A year that was altered by COVID-19; however, we still managed to host some really good events that attracted hundreds of college coaches from every division level.

We had over 100 teams lined up for year 3 of the RecruitLook Hoops League, and we fully anticipate 2021 being similar with all the buzz around our events.

We hired Coach Tim Fuller, a former high major D1 coach. Coach Fuller is our Lead Talent Evaluator and attends all our events. We provide a more complete recruiting and eval for college coaches than other circuits in the marketplace. Our NCAA Compliant Scouting Service is growing exponentially with the addition of new colleges each month.

COVID-19 made it more difficult for college coaches to get out and evaluate the talent first-hand.

“All my guys benefited from playing with RecruitLook Hoops in what was one of the worst viewing periods we’ve seen from a grassroots standpoint with the NCAA rules and limited visibility. All our guys have new interest and most have received offers.” -BG Regins, Pure Prep Director on playing in RecruitLook Hoops

Following the RecruitLook Hoops League is the prestigious Larry Hughes Elite Camp. We were not able to host the camp in 2020 due to travel and gathering restrictions in St. Louis — but the camp will be set again for 2021.

Top-level talent deserves top-level exposure. RecruitLook Hoops went beyond just running quality events. Recruiting exposure, recruiting coverage, and media content is one of the important elements incorporated in the League. All content is distributed to our college coach database, with college coach subscribers getting exclusive content of players and teams.

“Maximizing the players exposure to college coaches is always a focal point for us,” says Jarrell Strong, Branding Director of RecruitLook Hoops. “Recruiting goes beyond the games now with social media and highlight tapes. We made it a point of emphasis to promote players through various media channels and recruiting articles.”

As you’ll see, the media content is highlighted throughout each event and the overall context of what RecruitLook Hoops strives to present.

Eighty teams from around the Midwest came to Ames, Iowa for our Iowa Showcase. We had a great showing of elite talent with several players picking up scholarship offers immediately following the tournament.

One hundred teams made their way to Omaha, Nebraska for our Omaha Showcase event. There were five-star recruits all the way down to the sleeper recruits — and tons of offers were received. Games were competitive as top independents were trying to prove they belonged with the shoe sponsored teams.

RecruitLook Hoops was proud to present the Larry Hughes Elite Camp on August 10-11, 2019 in St. Louis. This was an invite-only camp that brought in some of the top high school basketball recruits from across the country. The two-day event featured a mixture of 60 national recruits in the 2020, 2021, and 2022 recruiting classes – all getting the chance to learn from NBA-veteran and skills trainers.

The Larry Hughes Elite Camp provided athletes an opportunity to showcase their skills against elite competition, while also learning more about the game of basketball and life-skills from special guests. In addition to the drill work and skills sessions, the camp focused on teaching valuable lessons off the court.

This camp featured wearable technology that tracked everything that the athletes did on the court. Campers wear the device, and the Kinexon platform takes over from there — providing valuable data that will give college coaches a better idea of what athletes can do on the court.

At RecruitLook Hoops, we feel it is vital to promote the success of teams and individuals throughout the year, especially during our events, which helps bring more recruiting exposure to all the talent we come across.

Our team was dedicated to covering events from many different angles, which we highlight below.

Player Tweets : quick way to highlight a player that has performed well. We’ll tweet before, during, and after events to promote players.

League Awards : graphics that highlight the success of individuals. All graphics shared over our various media channels.

Player Interviews : it’s important to get insights from the players and coaches — we’ll highlight the top performers and get their take on how the performed, who is recruiting them, etc.

In-Game Video Highlights : our media team is filming games, editing clips, and pushing out highlight videos during the event for more exposure.

Team Pics : our media team took pictures of all the teams that competed in RecruitLook Hoops events that were available for download and print.

Recruiting Coverage : our team of Scouts are at each event, scouting and evaluating the talent, then sending the information off to our extensive database of college coaches.
