#NEOpenGym is Less Than 3 Weeks Away!
With the landscape of college basketball recruitment shifting immensely over the past few years, opportunities to get direct exposure to college coaches are proving to be very valuable.
While we’re in the midst of open gym season, a time where college coaches are permitted to attend high school practices in the fall, there is a lack of exposure for those not at the top prep schools around the region.
Unfortunately for most though, those opportunities are historically only available to those who attend major prep schools. NCAA rules preclude any division I coach from observing a prospective student-athlete unless it is in their own high school gym and when competing only with peers from that school. However, many of New England's state associations also preclude the organization of these "open gyms" as they're informally known in the prep school world.
The combination of these circumstances has created the most unlevel playing field the recruiting world has seen in recent memory.
To counteract this trend, NERR is making a true grassroots effort where we are going to host two events catered to the smaller markets in the region and give the players in public schools, private schools, and even smaller prep schools a chance to regain some of the opportunities they've had taken away.
This exposure tour was first started in 2019 and saw countless future college prospects take their talents to the gym and get on our radar.
Attending an NERR operated open gym provides countless benefits such as direct exposure and communication through college coach led drills/games, adding your name to one of the largest FREE college prospect databases in the country, and exposure to the NERR scouting staff that has countless connections to college programs, just to name a few.
