My little nephew wants to play a little college bball. He's a scorer, he had 37 in the game they lost. He's gotta get stronger. Any of y'all know of a good program he could do? He's serious about it. He wants it. Let me know if ya can. It needs to be a diet and lifting program.
 
You don't say how old he is but find out who has the best AAU program in his area and talk with the coach. Get him playing on traveling teams, the coaches will provide the rest of the guidance needed.
 
He was a senior this year, he was good enough to be recruited

If he was a senior this year most schollie spots are already taken. The top players don't have to worry a lot, the schools will find them. On the other hand the small colleges and JC's usually are on much smaller budgets and rely on the HS coaches to help them find the kids they are going to recruit. If this kid is good enough then his HS coach let him down by not getting the word out on him.

It may be worth your while to put together a highlight reel of what the kid can do. Include multiple aspects of the game including defense, scoring in various ways, passing, etc. and put copies of it on a bunch of DVDs. Send these out to as many small college and JC coaches as you can. Include a letter from his coach and a copy of his current transcript to show that he is admitable and can handle the academics.

Be aware that you are late to the process but if he catches someones eye who has lost a player they didn't expect to you may be able to get someone interested.
