Most families never talk to a college coach until an offer is already on the table. This week, we skip straight to the source.
Coach Jaye Nayreau has coached at Division 1, JUCO, and now leads the women's basketball program at the University of Science & Arts of Oklahoma (NAIA) — 18 years as an assistant across six programs before his first head coaching job. In this episode, he pulls back the curtain on what families actually get wrong about recruiting.
We cover:
- How a scholarship package really gets built — athletic, academic, and financial aid stacked together, not one number from one source
- Why NAIA programs compete with — and regularly surprise — D1 and D2 teams
- How far a coach's recruiting radius actually reaches, and why local visibility still matters
- Whether coaches really read recruiting emails (yes — even 50 a day)
- The difference between information, knowledge, and wisdom, and why it's costing families scholarship money
If your athlete's recruiting plan feels like a lot of guessing right now, this conversation will give you real clarity.
