About Warner Pacific University Basketball
You show up ready to compete. No excuses. No shortcuts. That's what Warner Pacific demands. Head coach Jamayne Potts builds players who understand that preparation happens before game day. You'll compete in the Cascade Collegiate Conference against programs that test your fundamentals, your conditioning, your mental toughness. Portland basketball moves fast. The pace is relentless. Your shot selection matters. Your decision-making in transition matters. Everything matters. This isn't a program that develops players slowly. You're expected to contribute immediately. That means your summer work starts now. Your film needs to show consistency—not highlight plays, but possession- after-possession execution. Your conditioning should already be at a level most programs won't reach until November. Warner Pacific recruits players hungry to prove something. Players who understand that NAIA competition rewards discipline and intelligence. You won't float through practice. You won't accumulate minutes just for showing up. The standard is simple: arrive prepared, work harder than expected, be coachable, help your teammates win. If that resonates with you, then you're the kind of player Jamayne Potts builds programs around. The recruiting process rewards players who can demonstrate consistent growth and readiness. Florida Coastal Prep's training environment in Fort Walton Beach, FL is designed to produce exactly that profile. Explore the program at floridacoastalprep.com.

What Recruits Should Know About NAIA Basketball
The Cascade Collegiate 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.
Warner Pacific University and its Cascade Collegiate 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.
