Gary Gelfman

I like to call myself a recovering attorney!  I am a respected and passionate basketball recruiter, known for my keen eye for talent across the high school, AAU, and collegiate levels.  I specialize in identifying prospects while guiding athletes and families through the recruiting process with clarity and integrity.  

I’ve been a life long fan of college football and basketball, and during law school I officiated high school, junior college, and college football. As my two children pursued college athletics, I became deeply involved in helping them navigate the recruiting process, resulting in my daughter rowing for Boston University and my son playing college hoops at Stevens Institute of Technology. Over the past six years, I’ve worked with 35+ high school athletes, helping them secure opportunities to play college basketball. The placements span a wide range of programs, including Howard University, University of Virginia, San Francisco State University, University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, Pomona College, Johns Hopkins University, Whitman, Occidental College, Vassar, Colorado College, Sarah Lawrence and others across Division I, II, and III.  

My approach emphasizes fit, long-term development, and strategic exposure, helping players maximize opportunities at the next level.
