How I Recruited NBA Players To Montverde Basketball
Montverde Academy is the premiere high school basketball program in the country and quite possibly the world.
I spent years down there as the Director Of Recruiting & Scouting.
In addition to traditional assistant coaching responsibilities, I also had to be abreast on the best teenage basketball players in the world and how we could get them to Montverde.
I started Montverde’s social media presence when I was down there and that has increased their brand cache to the point where the recruiting landscape is a lot easier than it was before.
In this episode, I go over how players get recruited to Montverde, how the NBA is in involved and what to do if you are a player who wants to play basketball at Montverde Academy.
Is Montverde Academy the best high school basketball program of all time?

Montverde Academy is the best prep school ever my son went there played football I coached there and the experiences we both have because of MVA is life changing !

[@DorianGroup82]

Montverde doesn’t have football. Never has. You’re a liar. I wasn’t fired. I left and went to VCU. The headmaster asked me to stay. I didn’t trust him. And he ended up getting fired for really bad reasons years later. How many comments are you going to write?

THis is good info, I am planning on my son playing for S. Korea, and Montverde is on my radar as it isn't too far down the road from my hometown. Guess we see if we get a call then, gotta put in the work. I have been learning ball so I can play and practice with my son since he was born... got a long while before any of this goes down though lol.

Been around AAU and high school basketball for years and could immediately tell you know what you’re talking about. People need to watch a whole video instead of jumping to a conclusion from a title or headline. Excellent analysis!

They always have a relevant player in the draft. D’Angelo Russel, Joel Embiid, Ben Simmons, Anferny Simons, Precious Ochua, Scotty Barnes, RJ Barret, Cade Cunningham.

[@ibott50]

Would love to hear your comment on high school ball versus AAU when it comes to recruiting.

[@DorianGroup82]

High school coaches have never been more irrelevant than they are today. AAU is the closest thing to professional basketball at the prep level. Everyone is out there for the money (scholarships/NIL). You have to perform at an exceptionally high level against the best players in the country regardless of location, age or physical maturity. If you can play 17U, you’re going to play 17U. The NCAA opens up the month of July recruiting specifically for the marketing circus that will ensue. Athletic departments plan their budgets around July recruiting. Families plan their vacations around these tournaments. The crowds are sparse. There can either be 8 people at your game or 1,000. Celebrities right there. ESPN cameras. College coaches and NBA Scouts. High level AAU is as much of a mental evaluation as it is physical. High schools are trained to protect and shield kids from outsiders. The antithesis of recruiting.

Can you talk more about Prep Schools. I know a kid who’s a 14 year old sophomore who’s going to be a 16 year old senior. I told him he probably needs a year of prep school before college

[@billiondollarbaby973]

Didn’t Montrose take all the St. John Prospect Hall kids? I played against Montrose Christian in 99 in Dayton Tennessee at the Christian Nationals. I played for Victory Christian Center from Charlotte, NC. Montrose played with 4 guards. They were suuuuuuper sharp! They had a Black Coach. Was that Coach Sutton? I remember that he was up coaching the entire time calling out directions. I have to reiterate just how sharp the players were. It was crazy. I was apart four of the top players from Newark, NJ that went to Victory Christian. By the time we made it to Nationals, I was the only one left. During the game, the cats at Montrose kept asking where I was from. They kept saying, I know you ain’t from North Carolina because of the way our games were. When you get a chance, ask Coach Sutton if that was him coaching and if he remembers playing in that tournament in 99 in Tennessee. Peace!

[@DorianGroup82]

That’s dope. Next time I talk to Sutton, I’ll ask him.

[@kevinsutton3679]

Yes that was indeed me(Coach Sutton). I actually started three nationally ranked programs(Montrose Christian where we finished 2nd in the nation amongst christian schools. We lost to Central Park in the finals. Then I developed Bishop McNamara where we competed in the WCAC (DeMatha, Gonzaga, Pvi, etc) . Then I left and went to start Montverde Academy from scratch. Spent 8 years building it. In year 4 we won the schools first national title (30-0). I am now the Technical Director of Basketball at IMG Academy.

Aren’t you the same guy that was selling music stuff a few months back or something along the lines of selling how to books to grow your platform or social media or something?

Yeah. He was a coach before that though. I started following bro because of the music a couple years ago and then I watched a video about how he wanted to be an NBA couch and he described how clicky it is to get to that level. That’s how I found out he was a coach at Montverde. The Cooper Flagg video has brought a lot of new attention cuz it’s been so explosive of a video but this has been his story since day one.

Coach what’s your take on reclassing do you think it’s something players should do?

[@DorianGroup82]

Varies by situation, skill level and player’s goals. AJ Dybantsa re-classed and rightfully so. His skillset is above where he’s at and he’s on the fast track to the league. It won’t hurt him. Cooper Flagg reclassed and he shouldn’t have. For his career earnings, it makes sense cause he gets to the bag faster. But he needs development. And his timeline just got expedited.

[@frankz.6814]

@@DorianGroup82Agreed, although AJ Dybansta reclassed to his rightful class. He was already a reclassifying being a class of 26’ while being born early in 07. He simply reclasseed to his right class.

[@kilduce4423]

At what age can you tell when kids start separating themselves from the pack, skill wise?

[@DorianGroup82]

I’ve seen kids above their peers at every age. It all comes down to the ones who play and skill develop the most compared to everyone else in their age group. Based on what level I was coaching, some kids are going to be higher priorities than others. When I was at MVA, an elite 5th grader isn’t going to monopolize our attention like an elite 10th grader. Because we needed to win every game with the best college prospects possible. For a middle school coach, he’s going to be all in on the 5th grader.

[@kilduce4423]

@@DorianGroup82 thanks for your response. I’m working on my son and just hope he peaks at the right time. Based off your videos it seems like prep school candidates are sophomore thru seniors. I still have time but I want to make sure this is something he wants than me pushing him.

@@kilduce4423you’re handling it right. Everyone’s path is different. Watch “Run Your Race” podcast with Theo Pinson.

[@SP3XTRO]

Hey Dorian, my brother is freshly 16 years old from Australia. His goal is to be invited to the nba academy (they have been in touch with him), but around now he is starting to get reached out to by some high/prep schools. He says if he doesn’t get invited up to the academy he wants to go over to the us to play. How do we know if a school is a good program (competition, coaching etc) and if they are the right option [over others] for his development?

[@DorianGroup82]

Look at how long the coach has been there. How long has the school been around? How long has the headmaster been there? Do they take classes at that school or somewhere else? Montverde and IMG are the two most credible right now. Oak Hill has the most history but their program is down. Prolific Prep and La Lumiere are relatively new, but reputable. Every other school is a flash in the pan or not winning at a high enough level. EYBL Scholastic is Nike’s high school conference. Most of those schools are solid.
