About Longwood Lancers Basketball

Longwood University basketball operates in the Big South Conference, one of the nation's competitive NCAA Division I conferences, offering student-athletes the opportunity to play at a high level while pursuing degrees from an accredited Virginia institution. Head coach Griff Aldrich has built a program emphasizing discipline, work ethic, and player development within a winning culture. The Lancers compete in an academically rigorous environment where student-athletes balance classroom responsibilities with the demands of collegiate basketball. Longwood provides comprehensive support services, strength and conditioning resources, and professional coaching in a program committed to developing both players and people. Recruits considering Longwood gain access to Big South Conference competition, which attracts Division I talent across the region. The coaching staff actively seeks dedicated players ready to contribute immediately while growing within a program focused on long-term success and personal development.

Getting recruited at this level requires more than raw talent — coaches need to see your film at the right moment, your eligibility paperwork must be in order, and your tournament exposure has to match the standard the program is recruiting to.
