I spent 11 years on the other side of the recruiting table as a college coach — evaluating athletes, building recruiting boards, running the whole process. Then it was my own son's turn, and I still got it wrong.
In this episode, I'm sharing the real story behind why NIL$ense exists — the false promises from coaches and programs, the years I lost just being too busy to execute consistently, and the funding gap nobody warned us about even after the offer came. This one is personal, and I don't tell it often. If you're a parent who feels like you're not doing enough, or like you're the only one struggling to keep up — you're not alone, and it's not too late to start.

Most families never talk to a college coach until an offer is already on the table. This week, we skip straight to the source.
Coach Jaye Nayreau has coached at Division 1, JUCO, and now leads the women's basketball program at the University of Science & Arts of Oklahoma (NAIA) — 18 years as an assistant across six programs before his first head coaching job. In this episode, he pulls back the curtain on what families actually get wrong about recruiting.
We cover:
How a scholarship package really gets built — athletic, academic, and financial aid stacked together, not one number from one sourceWhy NAIA programs compete with — and regularly surprise — D1 and D2 teamsHow far a coach's recruiting radius actually reaches, and why local visibility still mattersWhether coaches really read recruiting emails (yes — even 50 a day)The difference between information, knowledge, and wisdom, and why it's costing families scholarship moneyIf your athlete's recruiting plan feels like a lot of guessing right now, this conversation will give you real clarity.

Welcome to episode one of Master the Process. Before diving into today's topic, Coach Braxton shares why this show exists and what to expect each week — real conversations for parents of serious high school athletes navigating recruiting, NIL, and the road to a scholarship.
Then: the NCAA just approved a major new eligibility rule, replacing the old "four seasons in five years" model with an age-based system giving athletes up to five years of competition. What does this mean for YOUR high school athlete's recruiting timeline? Coach Braxton breaks it down — no jargon, just what families need to know right now.
