Steven Marcus
FOUNDER, THE PREP CONNECTION
I have been involved in prep school athletics since 2006. As a 2010 graduate of Wilbraham & Monson Academy, where I was a three sport athlete, I saw firsthand the impact that prep school athletics can have on one’s future and career. It was during this time that I discovered my passion for working in basketball and recognized, drawing from my own experience, how I could provide assistance to families navigating the intricate path to college through preparatory school.
In 2010 I matriculated onto St. Bonaventure University, where I was a 4 year member of the Division 1 men’s basketball program. During my tenure, we won the 2012 Atlantic 10 Tournament Championship, advancing to play in the NCAA tournament.
Additionally, during my college summers, I began helping players find the right prep schools as the Director of Team Operations/Recruiting for a nationally ranked adidas 3SSB program. It was during this time that The Prep Connection started to take shape. I spent six years with this organization, culminating with the 2017 adidas Super 64 Championship in Las Vegas. That team had players matriculate onto Kansas, Michigan State, Elon, Boston College, Davidson, Northeastern, Princeton, and Vermont. During my time with the program, we helped hundreds of young athletes attend prep schools and embark onto Division I, II and III colleges and universities.
Upon graduation, my basketball coaching and recruiting experiences include the following:
- Brown & White TBT Coach | 2021-2022
- Head Coach and General Manager, St. John’s Edge (NBL Canada) | 2019-2021
- Associate Head Coach and General Manager, St. John’s Edge (NBL Canada) | 2017-2019
- Graduate Assistant, North Carolina State University | 2016-2017
- NBA Summer League Staff | 2015-2016
- McDonald’s All American Game Staff | 2015-2016
- adidas Eurocamp Staff | 2014-2017
- adidas Sports Marketing | 2014-2017
- Assistant Director of Basketball Operations, Maine Red Claws (Boston Celtics NBA G-League Affiliate) | 2014-2016
My goal at The Prep Connection is to leverage all of my past experiences, with all of my present connections, to cultivate your ideal prep school experience. The ever-changing landscape of prep school athletics can be daunting; let me connect you through all the proper channels to help find you the best possible fit.
