Our players have learned firsthand the quality of Division I athletes, having played against Northern Arizona University, University of San Diego, University of Portland, and Loyola Marymount University over the past several years. I scholarship athletes play at a very high level. I strongly encourage high school players to go see an NAIA scholarship school or an NCAA Division II scholarship school play in person so that they can see first-hand the physical size and skill levels of the players in these games. I feel that our program provides very good players who just missed out on getting a basketball scholarship an excellent opportunity to continue their playing careers beyond high school.
