About Us

Welcome to Airtime Scouting – an NCAA accredited scouting service definitively covering all top college basketball prospects across Australia and New Zealand.

In 2023, Australia alone had the second largest representation of NCAA Division 1 athletes in the college system behind Canada, and nearly double third place. Still widely under-recruited, Australia and New Zealand is an untapped gold-mine for US colleges.

Through our database that follows Oceania prospects both as juniors and through their college careers, college coaches at every level are able to identify and recruit talent from the other side of the world, with our service facilitating countless commitments to the Division 1 level alone.

In turn, the service provides free exposure and scholarship opportunities for all Australian and Kiwi prospects.

Airtime Scouting currently has over thirty currently subscribed college programs.

This scouting service has been approved in accordance with NCAA bylaws, policies, and procedures. NCAA Division I basketball coaches are permitted to subscribe to this scouting service.

Michael Houben is a freelance Australian basketball journalist and scout. His work currently appears on basketball.com.au.

Whilst his work and connections span the NBL, NBA and other internationally-based professionals, he is known for his particular interest in covering junior prospects within Australia and tracking the high school and college careers of amateur Australian athletes playing in the United States.

Over the last year, Michael has also provided scouting work for multiple NBL and NZNBL teams.
