About Oglethorpe University Basketball

Oglethorpe University competes in D3 men's basketball as a member of the Southern Athletic Association. The program is currently led by head coach Philip Ponder. Like all D3 programs, Oglethorpe University recruits players who demonstrate high-level film, strong academics, and proven exposure at competitive events.

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.
