RECRUIT WISCONSIN: COLLEGE SERIES

Recruit Wisconsin is excited to bring back an ultimate tournament experience for athletes and families this spring—the Recruit Wisconsin: College Series. This event series is designed to combine high-level competition with real collegiate exposure, giving players the unique opportunity to compete on actual college campuses while connecting directly with college coaches.

Each 'College Series' event is a one-day, 3-game tournament, and this spring we’ll be hosting on two Wisconsin campuses before wrapping up with the Recruit Wisconsin Championships at the Champion Center in Appleton. Beyond great basketball, these events are built to help athletes better understand the recruiting process, explore college environments, and gain guaranteed exposure—even during a non-viewing period.

For more information or any inquiries, please email us at team@blaze365.com.

Don't miss this opportunity to showcase your talent and compete at the highest level. Register now and be part of the excitement at Recruit Wisconsin 2027!

This spring, Recruit Wisconsin is launching two special College Series events—each a one-day, 3-game tournament hosted directly on a college campus.

Athletes and families will have the opportunity to:

Tour and experience a real college campus
Meet and interact with college coaches
Learn about each program’s culture, expectations, and opportunities
Understand the steps and standards required to play at the next level
Gain guaranteed exposure during a non-viewing period

Please note: Tournament play will begin on the listed primary dates, with potential overflow on the surrounding dates if registration volumes require expansion (all 3 games for a team will be on the same day).
