About Misericordia University Basketball
Competition doesn't pause. Misericordia demands players who show up ready to work. Head coach Will Chandler builds a program that moves fast, expects accountability, and won't coddle you through the adjustment to college basketball. You need to arrive with a foundation—footwork locked in, decision- making sharp, conditioning non-negotiable. The Cougars compete in the MAC Freedom Conference at the NCAA Division III level, where every possession matters and depth gets tested. This isn't a developmental league; it's where preparation meets execution. Chandler recruits hungry players who understand that playing time gets earned, not given. He values toughness, basketball IQ, and the willingness to embrace a defined role. Dallas, PA offers a tight-knit campus where basketball is central to the student-athlete experience. You'll develop alongside teammates who share your commitment. Misericordia doesn't recruit projects—it recruits ready players who want to compete immediately and contribute to winning. This is your reality check. If you're serious about playing college basketball, the time to prepare is now. The programs that matter won't wait for you to figure it out later. Coaches recruiting for programs like this one look for players who've been developed in serious environments. Florida Coastal Prep in Fort Walton Beach, FL prepares post-grad and high school athletes for exactly these conversations. Learn more at floridacoastalprep.com.
