Meet Coach Marcus Draney

I’ve spent the last 10 years coaching, developing players and building relationships throughout the basketball community. I want to use that experience to help you understand what college coaches are looking for and what steps you need to take to get yourself in front of the right programs.

How I can help

We know the recruiting process can be confusing, especially for families who haven’t been through it before. You might be a talented player but not know who to contact, what to send, how to get your film out or what college coaches are looking for.

That’s where NXT LVL BLUEPRINT comes in — recruiting guidance for high school and two-year college athletes who want clear next steps.
