What college basketball coaches actually filter on — height and wingspan by position, verified athletic testing, and where the AAU platform fits.
Basketball recruiting runs on functional size and game evaluation at the club level. These are the filters staffs actually apply.
Coaches record both, and wingspan regularly wins arguments: a guard with plus-length defends and finishes like a taller player, and staffs evaluate at functional size. Get both measured at a verified event and list them together — the full math is in our basketball recruiting deep-dive.
Guards are evaluated on speed with the ball, decision-making against pressure, and shooting numbers at volume; wings on length, versatility, and whether their athleticism translates to both ends; bigs on functional size, rim protection, and motor. Divisions scale expectations — the shape of the evaluation stays the same.
Vertical, lane agility, and sprint numbers from verified settings help at the margins — they get a borderline film clicked. They never replace game evaluation, which happens at sanctioned club events during evaluation windows.
Percentages at meaningful volume travel: coaches trust a season of documented shooting far more than any workout reel. Keep season stats verified and current.
Measure height, wingspan, and testing at a verified event; pair them with full-game film and your club schedule so a staff can plan to watch you live. A Lightning profile holds all of it in one link.
