About Kilgore College Basketball
Kilgore College operates at the NJCAA level, which means you'll get real minutes and actual development time, not a redshirt bench situation. Head Coach Brian Hoberecht runs a program in the Texas Eastern Athletic Conference that values fundamentals and consistency over flash. If you're a player still developing your game, this is a place where you'll get meaningful court time to prove yourself. The junior college route works best for athletes who need another year or two to add strength, refine their mechanics, or prove they're ready for a four-year program. Kilgore offers that runway. You'll compete against solid NJCAA competition, build a film worth showing to Division II and III programs, and attend class at an affordable price point. What you won't find here is coddling. Hoberecht expects effort, accountability, and improvement. Players who come in ready to work, not just ready to play, find success. The program provides legitimate basketball education and the chance to transfer up, which is often the entire goal at the junior college level. If you're realistic about where you are as a player and serious about getting better, Kilgore gives you the structure and opportunity to do both. It's a straightforward program for straightforward student- athletes. Players who arrive at college campus-ready, technically polished and physically prepared, get noticed faster. Florida Coastal Prep's post-graduate program in Fort Walton Beach, FL is built to close that gap. Learn more at floridacoastalprep.com or visit /apply/ to start the conversation.
