THE IMPORTANCE OF ABC'S
The importance of ABC’s will never diminish. For the “Rising Senior” Student-Athlete, in addition to the ABC’s, the STUV’s take on a level of importance which demands proper preparation and performance. As a Student-Athlete begins the recruitment process, and families being their search for the “right” college or university, the first things they will hear from college coaches are their request for STUV’s (but in the reverse order): Video, Upcoming schedule, high school Transcript and Scores (SAT and/or ACT).
WHY YOU NEED US
Now all you have to do is choose which college or university is the “right” one. With over 1300 (in basketball) to choose from, 341 at the D1 level, 290 in D2 and over 400 in D3 – plus almost 300 more in NAIA and a growing number of programs competing at other levels – there are a lot of options. We have identified 130 “high academic” schools which are non-BCS (the super-major top ranked) schools. It is this list at which we seek to match players and coaches. And in almost every case, the first thing the coaches will say, after introductions and pleasantries, is “can you please send me your video, upcoming schedule, transcript and scores". You can prepare for that. But figuring out which schools to contact?
WHO WE ARE
It starts with people and relationships. Harvey Rubin began what has become the Academic Basketball Club twelve years ago and has developed a program measuring success with the growth and development of the players each year. Paul Krumins is a foundation in Fairfield County’s youth basketball structure and an integral member of ABC in addition to being the Director of Fairfield PAL basketball and a founding Board member of the Fairfield County Basketball League.
THE FINE PRINT
The Fine Print is essential: all services are in compliance with NCAA Regulation 12.3.3.1 Talent Evaluation Services and Agents. A prospective student-athlete may allow a scouting service or agent to distribute personal information (e.g., high school academics and athletics records, physical statistics) to member institutions without jeopardizing his or her eligibility, provided the fee paid to such an agent is not based on placing the prospective student-athlete in a collegiate institution as a recipient of institutional financial aid. As such, our services are advisement only and do not include any action to solicit or arrange for financial aid on the behalf of the student-athlete.
