What Athletes Should Know Before Reclassifying
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Reclassing has become one of the most talked-about moves in high school basketball — but few people truly understand what it means. In this episode, The One-Eyed Scout breaks down the real story behind reclassifying: what it is, how it affects recruiting, and why it can either make or break your path to college basketball.
From NCAA eligibility rules to prep-school promises, we separate facts from fiction. You’ll hear how players can use reclassing to grow, build exposure, and fix academic gaps — but also the hard truth about wasted years, money traps, and the mental side of starting over.
If you’re a parent, player, or coach thinking about taking that extra year, hit play. This episode will save you time, money, and maybe your future.
