about Coach White's camps:
"When it comes to summer basketball camps Greg White is the absolute best!"
~John Calipari,
University of Arkansas Head Coach
"Greg White is so inspirational. It is amazing to me to see each kid associated with the camp listening and doing everything that is asked of them. The coaches that work at the camp are great with the kids and offer encouragement and enthusiasm. The entire program is first class. The camp environment is professional at all times and something that will benefit every child even if they choose not to play basketball because of the life lessons taught by Coach White to every participant. The camp is one of a kind."

RECRUITING
SUCCESS EXPANDER
So, you want to play college basketball?
The opportunity exists with student-athletes (boys and girls) who are truly motivated to do so. There are slightly more than 2,000 colleges that have basketball programs at five different levels. They are Division I, Division II, Division III, NAIA, and Junior College. They all recruit basketball players in an attempt to field a strong team to compete and win their respective championships.
There are currently 500,000 boys and 500,000 girls playing high school basketball currently in the United States, but only 5% (25,000 boys and 25,000 girls) play basketball at various colleges and universities.
Many dynamics go into landing on a college team. Many players go on to play college basketball and flourish while many do not. For every one player who has that amazing experience, there is also one that has a frustrating experience that forces them to transfer. Transferring schools is a risky business because there is no guarantee that the school you transfer to is right for you either. Now, the transfer portal is a REAL GAME CHANGER, both positively and negatively.
I strongly believe that 95% of the frustration could be avoided if the PLAYERS and PARENTS had the knowledge to make proper decisions. That is where my "RECRUITING SUCCESS EXPANDER" comes into play. This program covers the essentials that can make or break your decision. With over 300 Insider Tips, It will assist the student-athlete and parents with appropriate knowledge to make an informed and educated decision. Many parents want to help but do not know how. HERE IS YOUR STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE.
