TESTIMONIALS
Max McCalla (Claremont Commit): “Coach Scott Martin was the most important person guiding me through the recruiting process. Because of his hard work, I get to play basketball at my dream school for the next four years. For all of high school, he got me in touch with dozens of college coaches who recruited me and anytime I need anything, Coach Martin was there.”

Kit McCalla (Father of Claremont Commit Max McCalla):”From an early age my son knew he wanted to play basketball in college.  We met Coach Martin during my son’s Freshman year of high school.  He developed a four year plan for Max to achieve his goal.  As a family we met at the beginning of each AAU season and outlined a plan for tournaments and camps to attend.   Coach Martin introduced us to a wide variety of college coaches consisting of D1, D2 and high academic D3 schools from all over the country.  When it became clear Max wanted to play on the West Coast, Coach Martin set-up on campus visits to all the coaches which fit Max’s ability level.  As a family and with Coach Martin’s advice, we found that Claremont McKenna would be the perfect fit.  Coach Martin went to work setting up overnight trips and visits with the coaching staff at Claremont.   During the “live” period, Coach Martin made sure the Claremont coaches were at each camp to see Max.  Without Coach Martin’s dedication, this dream would not have been possible.”
