Chris Schieman Media is the leading professional basketball recruiting video maker. For over 15 years, I have created professional basketball highlight reels for future college athletes, as well as basketball players looking to go pro. If you’re a college student in the portal, my professional basketball highlight videos can help you stand out in the large player pool! I have also worked with professional basketball players all over the world to create the best basketball recruiting video to help them land professional contracts.
What helps my basketball recruiting video service stand out? I have worked as a sports broadcaster for over two decades! I have a network of basketball coaches that I talk to, to get the best advice to create your reel with the coach in mind! My basketball recruiting videos are created directly from their recommendations, and I offer free advice to you on how to contact coaches.
Basketball Recruiting Video Cost:
My professional basketball recruiting video service starts at $150 per video. You send me game links, or upload your videos to the cloud, email me the time stamps of the highlights that you want included in the reel, and a picture and some info about the athlete, and I will create your custom video!
*Additional costs may be necessary for clips that need to be re-edited/re-formatted for a professional video. The most common cause for extra fees is clips that were done on a phone. Please try to avoid using free video editing apps on a phone to clip your highlights.

Basketball Recruiting Video FAQs
Why Do I need a Professional Basketball Highlight Video?
Your highlight video is the first impression you make on a coach. Using a professional service ensures that you will put your best foot forward. So many times I get basketball videos from people that have 4 second highlights, are in poor quality, etc. Coaches will not bother with these kinds of basketball recruiting videos. They will simply move on to the next video.
What is included in the video?
- Each basketball highlight video includes an Intro/outro player card with important athlete information, stats, awards, contact info, etc.
- Circle or arrow on the athlete to help coaches easily ID the athlete, creating using a jump cut to draw the attention directly to the player.
- Ordering of the highlights to help keep coaches engaged (free upon request).
- Your video uploaded to YouTube with proper SEO to attract coaches.
- Fast turnaround, professional service.
Will you watch the games and pick the plays for us?
Yes! If you’re struggling with the time, or knowledge to pick the highlights yourself, I am happy to step in and take this off your plate! The typical cost starts at $450, in addition to the prices above to create the basketball recruiting video itself. I will review full game footage and pick out the best 15 plays.
How long should my highlight video be?
For basketball recruiting, 3-4 minutes (15-25 highlights). Any longer than that, you’re paying me for highlights the coach will not see!
What quality video can you work with?
At minimum, 720p, and up to 4k. Do not record clips on your phone using a 3rd party app. It will produce terrible quality video!
What Clips Should I Include?
For basketball, this depends on your position. A guard, for example, should include a lot of assists, steals, 3 point shots, fast breaks, etc. There’s much more to a good reel than just scoring!
How do we send you the video?
Ideally, you send me the links to each game, with times where the plays are. Only attempt to cut video yourself if you know what you’re doing. Google Drive is the best option to send me clips.
You said don’t edit the video on a phone, but can we record on a phone?
Definitely! Today’s cell phone cameras produce great video quality. No need to purchase an expensive camcorder.
How fast do we get the completed video?
Most of my Google reviews mention how fast my turnaround time is. It depends on you, and other clients. All clients are first come, first served. But, typically within 48 hours.
I’m making my own video, and it doesn’t look right. Can you look at it?
If you’re creating your own basketball recruiting video, and have questions, I will gladly take a look at what you’ve done. I charge a $50 non-refundable deposit. If you decide to use my services, that $50 will be applied to the cost of your video.
I still have questions!
If your question hasn’t been answered here, text or email me!
