Your AAU mixtapes, documentary series', and/or rankings R meaningless once you step foot on that college campus. Better be prepared to work.

Introducing Maxwell Anthony Asher. Born May 27th, 2020 at 2:58 AM. 7 lbs, 2 OZ | 20 inches . Without question the most proud accomplishment of my life. Nothing else even comes close to comparing. PS. His mama is a SUPERSTAR 🤩❤️

New rule proposal:. Stop gassing up HS kids with mixtapes from games where their team loses. However crazy the highlights might be, they weren’t nice enough to get the W, so who cares?. We clown NBA dudes who don’t win but praise HS kids? 🤔. Time to start rewarding WINNING.

Great to see @CoachHuggs last night! . I will forever be grateful for the opportunity he gave me as an 18-year-old. How lucky am I to have gotten my introduction to college hoops from a Hall of Famer? A true legend in every sense of the word. #HailWV

Feels like a very appropriate time to go ahead and RT this 😢😢😢 . Love you guys family FOREVER ❤️🖤@akwasi_yeboah15 @shaq_carter18 @JoeyUPs3.
👏👏👏. How about one more round of applause for our seniors that helped lead us to our best season EVER at The RAC?. It was only right we sent them off with a memorable top-10 win. 18 home wins. The most in the nation. Shaq, Joey & Kwas - Bravo, fellas. 🛡⚔️ #GardenStatement

RIP Joe Boylan. Devastated isn’t even the word. One of my absolute favorite people, not just in the bball world, but in the ENTIRE world. Getting to know & spend time with him on the road these last 5 years was an honor. Was lucky to call him a friend. Will be sorely missed. 💔

Honored to work side-by-side with @bknight20 every day. Absolute superstar who can do it all - lead, develop, scout, recruit, X’s & O’s, etc. Total foxhole guy too. Not many dudes I’d rather go to war with. Happy for B Knight’s well deserved recognition.

🤔🧐. Special Assistants need love too 🤷♂️.
I think @CoachPikiell is the only coach I’ve worked with who comes out to applaud opponent student-athletes on their senior day. I really hope we win bc he’s probably gonna be mad I tweeted this. 🤞 #respect

It was awesome to see the local 🏀 community come together yesterday in Newark to support the amazing @ScoutScavenge initiative. @Mike__Larkin, @ScottAScherer, @tylercook24 and I repped @RutgersMBB proudly! . Much respect to @dgm591 for all his hard work. Great idea/cause!.
. @RutgersMBB led by @CoachPikiell have been some of our biggest supporters since Day 1. We were joined today by @Ben__Asher @tylercook24 @ScottAScherer and @Mike__Larkin who helped pass out toiletry bags to residents.

Brian was instrumental on my proposal day. He hid out for me in Bryant Park to snap the perfect 📸 of me popping the ? to my wife. I tried like hell to pay him for his time/effort but all he wanted was RU tix & gear. Giving, selfless - just an all around great man. May he RIP.
We lost a great man, father, friend, and @RUAthletics @RutgersU supporter, @BrianHester7. He was always willing to help you, take your photo, and invite you places. He got me into @TimesSquareNYC for New Years a few years back. I’ll never forget it. Thank you Brian 🙏

You guys should really write about Kentucky and Duke more. I don’t think they get enough media coverage. Maybe sprinkle in a LeBron article too?.
