Episode #173: David Arseneault on Recruiting

🏀 Ep. 173: Recruiting for Grinnell’s System Basketball | David Arseneault Jr. David Arseneault Jr., Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Grinnell College , returns for Part II of this conversation on the Significant Recruiting Podcast. In this episode, we focus on recruiting for speed in Grinnell’s System basketball—what it takes to play in a program built on pace, constant movement, and decision-making under pressure. David breaks down the type of player who thrives, how roles and minutes are defined, and why fit matters more than talent alone. We also discuss communication with coaches, academic expectations, and how recruits and families should think about choosing a program that operates very differently from traditional college basketball. If you’re a recruit, parent, or coach trying to understand what it really means to play fast—and whether you’re built for it—this conversation will help you think about the process in a more intentional way. 🎧 Listen: coachmattrogers.com/podcast 📺 Watch: youtube.com/@CoachMattRogers Send us Fan Mail Significant Recruiting: The Playbook for Prospective College Athletes Don't rely on mere chance.
