College Coaches

Dear College Coaches and Staff:

What would you say if you were told that your scouting/recruiting needs were solved? You may say something like many of the coaches that subscribe to Illinois Basketball Services:

"I really enjoy it. Not only do you have your finger on the pulse of basketball, but you cover several levels...high school, college and the JUCO ranks. I enjoy how you get the inside information and make sure it is fact before you put it out there for us to see. You keep me informed and provide vital information for me and our program. Thank you and keep up the good work."

"The service has helped me tremendously. We requested some information on students that fit a certain criteria and JASON delivered with about 20 pages of quality recruits that we could pick from to send information to. The best thing about the service is prompt service. When you can get back with your customer within the same day or even the same hour it speaks volumes."

“IBS has been a good service for Parkland. Obviously we cannot get out to see every team, so this service helps us learn about kids we might not normally hear about. It really seems to be a service that truly promotes student-athletes without any political agenda. It is also helpful to learn when players sign or are looking for transfer options. IBS also promotes college programs of all levels and provides information with interesting updates.”

“I am looking forward to having the best recruiting class thanks to you. If there is anything we can do for you don't hesitate to contact me. All the best to you and your organization.”
