The PREP Athletics Basketball Podcast helps players and families navigate prep school basketball and the college recruiting process with honest advice from coaches and experts who understand the landscape.
Hosted by PREP Athletics founder Cory Heitz, the show explores how players can find the right school, gain exposure, develop on and off the court, and make informed decisions about their basketball future. Topics include college basketball recruiting, transferring schools, reclassifying, post-grad years, academics, player development, and opportunities for men’s, women’s, and international basketball players.
Cory interviews prep school coaches, college coaches, scouts, and other basketball experts about what programs look for, how recruiting decisions are made, and what players and parents should understand before choosing their next step.
