About Faulkner University Basketball
At Faulkner, basketball is built on relationships. Head coach Scott Sanderson and his staff invest in knowing their players as people—understanding what drives you on and off the court, what challenges you're working through, and what success looks like beyond the final score. That personal connection shapes everything here, from how practices are structured to how players are developed into competitive athletes competing in the Southern States Athletic Conference. The program prioritizes creating a tight-knit community where players feel valued and supported. In a smaller NAIA setting, you're not a number. Your coaches see you consistently, work with you individually, and genuinely care about your growth. That's not marketing—that's how Faulkner operates. Players thrive when they feel connected to something bigger than themselves, and this program delivers that. Montgomery provides a stable home base where you can focus on your game while building lasting friendships with teammates who become your brothers. The culture emphasizes accountability, work ethic, and mutual respect. If you're looking for a place where your development as a player matters and your presence as a person is recognized, Faulkner offers that foundation. 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.
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.
