About Rocky Mountain College Basketball
Rocky Mountain College basketball in the Frontier Conference offers players a genuine opportunity to compete at a respected NAIA level in Billings, Montana. Head coach Bill Dreikosen has built a program where hard work and skill development are celebrated, and where players earn their minutes through preparation and execution. What sets Rocky Mountain apart is the combination of competitive basketball and a tight-knit community. You'll play in a conference known for consistent competition, facing opponents who demand your best effort night in and night out. The program emphasizes player development—Dreikosen's system rewards guards who can handle the ball, forwards who can stretch the floor, and bigs who understand spacing and movement. This isn't a program where you show up and play; it's one where you grow. Billings provides a college town atmosphere with access to quality facilities and genuine support from fans who care about the program. The Frontier Conference schedule keeps you sharp against quality opponents, and the athletic department invests in the experience of student-athletes who commit to excellence. Rocky Mountain College is for the player who's ready to compete at this level—who understands that NAIA basketball offers a legitimate path to play college basketball and earn a degree in a supportive environment. If this resonates with you, it's time to make sure your game matches the opportunity. Before you reach out to a program at this level, make sure your game is where it needs to be. Florida Coastal Prep exists to help serious players close that gap— through elite training, academic support, and real exposure. Start at floridacoastalprep.com or /contact/.

What Recruits Should Know About NAIA Basketball
The Frontier Conference operates within the NAIA, where scholarship opportunities exist but recruiting timelines and standards differ from NCAA programs. NAIA coaches recruit primarily through direct outreach, exposure events, and coach-to-coach referrals. Academic requirements are governed by the NAIA Eligibility Center — a separate process from the NCAA.
Rocky Mountain College and its Frontier Conference peers offer full and partial scholarships to players who fit their system. Smaller rosters mean more playing time for the right player, and NAIA programs regularly produce players who transfer up to D2 and D1. Getting evaluated starts with sending updated film and a clear academic transcript directly to the coaching staff.
Academic Eligibility and Recruiting Strategy for Rocky Mountain College
Academic eligibility is the invisible barrier that ends recruiting conversations before they start. NAIA programs like Rocky Mountain College won't extend an offer until your eligibility status is confirmed — and problems discovered late in the process often close doors permanently. FCP's post-graduate program includes academic support specifically designed to get players eligible and keep them on track through the recruiting cycle.
Our staff works directly with players to navigate the eligibility certification process and ensure their academic profile meets NAIA standards. Apply to FCP or talk to a coach about your eligibility situation.
