Episode #208: Jordan Fee on Recruiting

Jordan Fee, Head Men's Basketball Coach at Lamar University , returns for Part 2 of his conversation with Matt Rogers on The Significant Recruiting Podcast. Coach Fee shares his perspective on what college coaches actually look for in recruits, why character and competitiveness matter as much as talent, and how athletes can attract opportunities without becoming consumed by exposure, rankings, and recruiting attention. Matt and Jordan also discuss: Why athletes should never lose their love and joy for playing basketball. What separates a good basketball player from someone Coach Fee wants in his program. Why effort, defense, and impacting winning can matter more than scoring. Understanding what your recruitment is telling you about your appropriate college level. Why parents need to allow their kids to struggle, fail, and develop independence. Lessons from Jordan's own college playing experience. What makes Lamar University and the Beaumont community special. One of Coach Fee's most important messages to families is simple: Don't let the recruiting process steal the joy of playing the game. This is a valuable conversation for high school athletes, parents, and coaches navigating today's changing college recruiting landscape.
