About Westcliff University Basketball
Westcliff basketball has built something real in Irvaia—a program where winning and player development move in the same direction. Head coach Jerred Cook has created a culture that demands excellence in the California Pacific Conference while genuinely investing in who his players become beyond basketball. This isn't a program that recruits talent and waits; it actively shapes it. What separates Westcliff is how Cook balances competitive intensity with authentic support. Players here experience coaching that challenges them daily while holding them accountable for growth—on court and in the classroom. The program competes in one of NAIA's most respected conferences, giving you legitimate tournament exposure and the chance to play meaningful basketball against quality opponents. The Irvine location offers everything a student-athlete needs: proximity to Southern California's talent pipeline, access to strong academic resources, and a campus environment built for serious athletes. Westcliff players understand they've earned their spot in this program, and that standard shows in how the team operates. If you're ready for a program that values both your game and your development as a person, Westcliff deserves your attention. Cook and his staff recruit players who want to compete, improve, and represent something bigger than themselves. 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/.
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.
