Most families assume the price on a college website is what they’ll pay in tuition - but it’s usually not.

In this 5-part series, we’re highlighting financial aid resources in each U.S. State (and D.C.) that can help recruits and their families reduce the cost of college at NCAA D3 schools.

This is designed for a prospective D3 sports recruit entering their Junior or Senior Season - But, if you are younger than that, you can still learn something!

Here’s our suggested blueprint for this Summer…

In our latest interview, we sit down with former Endicott College men’s basketball player, Jordan Pettway.

Fresh out of the Division III level, Jordan has successfully transitioned into a full-time content creator covering every tier of basketball.

Now based in Queens, New York—one of the biggest basketball hubs in the world—Jordan is making waves in the sports media industry.

For most recruits, the college search process starts with athletics.

But in our experience the athletes who end up happiest with their decision usually think much bigger than just playing time, facilities, or conference standings.

Here are 10 factors every recruit should seriously consider before committing to a school.

We launched our live Q&A series with D3 coaches to make it easier for our readers to get their questions about school, sports, and admissions answered directly. And it has already lead to our subscribers getting D3 college offers.

Our next two Live Q&A’s: May 3rd with Case Western Head Coach Todd McGuinness and May 10th with Brandeis Head Coach Jean Bain

In this most recent episode, we were joined by the Head Coach of Swarthmore College Men’s Basketball, Shane Loeffler.

Parents and athletes stress over getting "cleared" by the NCAA Clearinghouse (now officially known as the NCAA Eligibility Center).

For D1 and D2 hopefuls, it’s a mandatory hoop to jump through complete with registration fees, complex core-course GPA calculations, and official amateurism certifications.

But if your target schools are in Division III aka D3? You can take a deep breath and skip the red tape. Here is exactly why D3 recruits don't need to stress over the Eligibility Center, and the one free step you actually should take instead.

We’re spotlighting the former D3 Athletes & Coaches who are now leading a team as a Head Coach in the 2026 D1 Men’s Basketball Tournament - otherwise known as March Madness.

In this year’s March Madness field alone, there are number of squads to root for: 11 Teams coached by a former D3 player (+1 borderline “D3” cases) and 5 Teams coached by a former D3 coach.

We’ve consolidated every single D3 men’s basketball program into one streamlined platform designed for recruits and their families.

The Head Coach of Pacific University Men’s Basketball, Justin Lunt, joins us for a Live Q&A on Sunday, 3/8/26 at 8pm ET / 5pm PT.

This is a series designed to help high school recruits get their questions answered directly by college coaches.

Hey parents, this one’s for you.

You care. You’re organized. You want to help your kid find the best fit — athletically, academically, and financially.

But here’s the truth: When it comes to D3 recruiting, the best parent is a measured co-pilot, not the leader of the process.

In this post we show you how to use an underutilized admissions hack - demonstrated interest - to increase the likelihood that you are admitted to the top schools on your college list.

We included five total examples with insights from D3 coaches & specific D3 school examples to make this as relevant as possible.

Today, we are sharing another conversation with a former D3 athlete, this time with Rei Halloran of Wesleyan University Women’s Ice Hockey.

Rei plays professionally for Järnbrotts HK in Sweden and more recently took the ice for Team Japan in the 2026 Winter Olympics from Milan, Italy.

We define the core D3 Sports Recruiting terms that recruits and their families should know. The suggestion for this topic came from the parent of a recruit who said they were having trouble keeping up with all of the jargon they were encountering.

If there’s another D3 recruiting term you’re struggling with, let us know and we will add it to the full glossary.

When recruits talk about “finding the right fit,” they usually mean one thing: Where can I play?

That matters, but it’s only part of the equation.

Here are four factors that should shape every D3 recruit’s decision, straight from conversations with coaches who’ve seen recruits get this right (and very wrong).

Last week, we officially launched the D3 Recruiting Playbook - our self-paced, step-by-step guide designed to demystify the NCAA Division III recruiting process for families.

I want to be transparent about how it is going - and let you know how you can help us help more recruits.

Playing a college sport is a privilege.

Out of the 7+ million high school athletes in the U.S., only ~6.4% or 450,000 end up playing their sport in one of the NCAA’s three divisions (D1, D2, or D3)

Today we dig a level deeper and bring you tangible insights into what this means for your chances to play your sport in particular.

We show you how to write an effective initial outreach email to a college coach that they’ll want to open.

We include insights from our Founder’s own recruiting process that got him recruited by a dozen D3 schools

Plus, insights from a D3 Head Coach who reviewed the template email and left their comments.

We caught up with Emory men’s basketball guard Jair Knight to learn how he is utilizing his NIL rights.

Jair, and many others, are redefining what’s possible for D3 athletes, combining high-level performance on the court with meaningful opportunities beyond it.

Let’s unpack some D3 NIL Insights…

The Jay Bilas Classic is back!

Four top teams in D3 men’s basketball will head to Charlotte, NC - Emory, TCNJ, Christopher Newport, and Denison.

We spoke with the event organizer, a former D3 athlete & coach, to understand how they build the field and what goes into the event.
