PRO Facts

As the number of high school basketball players wanting to compete in college increases, the number of available roster spots remains the same.  More than ever, now is the time to separate yourself from the competition by developing a solid recruiting strategy and understanding the odds of making it to the collegiate level. The statistics below are not meant to discourage, rather, motivate one to take the recruiting process VERY SERIOUSLY.  A student must  be realistic about the division level which he can be successful at. An honest, unbiased evaluation of talent (which we provide) is the MOST IMPORTANT  step in the recruiting process. At PRO Movement Basketball, we do not focus on a specific Division Level, rather finding the RIGHT SCHOOL FOR YOU!
