Not one college basketball coach has ever asked me what’s a kids ranking… not one lol .. Is he a winner? How’s his grades? How’s his off the court activities ? Is he tough enough? What position? Can he guard? .. no one care about that number .. JUST BE GOOD ENOUGH!
You want a scholarship?? Get up!! Work!! Separate yourself!! Don’t blame a coach, scouting service blah blah... work!!!!! A scholarship not like handing out candy!!! These coaches jobs are on the line when they recruit you!! No one wants a guy who complains and doesn’t work hard
It doesn’t matter circuit or not.. if you can play basketball the RIGHT way.. then the coaches will find you! Don’t think it’s about the platform because that will get you exposed!! Players go somewhere you can play, and if you truly putting in the work Itll show!

Don’t give a damn what AAU team you played for in HS.. I love watching all these young men I’ve seen play in KY hooping national television last night .. we all doing this because we want the same end result!!

Repost: If you’re a real hooper, U don’t have to play all the minutes, score a ton of points to get a coaches attention. Trust me, coaches can easily detect if U can play. If U think taking all the shots is gonna get U a look, YOU’RE WRONG!
Do small things. Make the right play
NAIA coaches lucky Saint Catherine had to close down .. because in the mid south I’d snatch all these kids up who are being looked over and go win!!! So much talent but no one getting the chance! Our in state coaches we have the talent in your own backyard!! TAKE ADVANTAGE!
And another one!! Class of 2022 Paul Woodward HS (OH) PG

@KennethFaried35
6’5 - Warren Central (KY) - 2024 Kade Unseld - definitely a prospect to keep your eyes on til his senior year, 6’5 and can really shoot it! He brings a lot to the table with his ability to play inside out, as he grows and gets more athletic I expect him to climb the ranks! 🟡⚫️⚪️
Stop with these made up KY recruiting services! All these bogus rankings from guys who A.) have never seen the whole state B.) can’t evaluate. C.) trying to make there son or aau players look better . It’s so many you can’t even follow it🤷
We lost a member of our 1st ever

TEAM Manimal group Stephaun “Zaba” Adams last night and I can’t put into words how close knit a group these bunch of guys are. The pain we all feel is deep and it’s more than basketball. Prayers go out to his family !

🙏🙏🙏
HOW you have an “elite” second grader???? I don’t understand it.. PARENTS STOP WORRYING ABOUT HOW GOOD YOUR KID IS AT 7-8years old! JUST KEEP DEVELOPING! WORK ON FUNDAMENTALS!
If your afraid of competition.. don’t you ever step in the trenches in any college sport. If your not ready to compete in the classroom , weight room, workouts, practice .. then it’s not for you! Every single day is a battle! Every year someone wants your spot!!!
Sheeesh 🤧 6’5 2020
@EppsJamison
36pts / 14 reb in a win on the road vs Boyle Co. 31pts in the 2nd half! ... and got the tip in GAME WINNER somebody gonna miss out one of the most underrated kids in the state! .. Oh yea HES ACADEMICALLY ELIGIBLE - 3.4 GPA/ 23ACT

#AdidasChampionships
- BIG STATEMENT FOR OUR PROGRAM AND OUR KIDS TO STILL HAVE A CHANCE TO BE PLAYING IN FRONT OF COACHES!!
#Wealleat
If you do what you do for the RIGHT reasons, there is no reason to talk about or tell everyone about your relationships. I love all the teams/ coaches taking time to HELP the kids! It’s not about YOU, it’s not about US , it’s about THEM (kids)! Everyone keep pushing for KY kids!
When they said you can’t YOU JUST KEPT ON PUSHING MY GUY! One of the hardest working kids I’ve ever had a RELATIONSHIP with! Once a former walk on and now a starter and 2nd leading scorer on NCAA tourney team!!!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Please let me say this once... ITS EXTREMELY HARD TO SCORE 50 POINTS! Idc who you are or where you playing!!! It’s a MENTALITY that only few have. I always ask when people hate on other players.. HOW MANY 50 POINT GAMES HAVE YOU PERSONALLY HAD?
#Respect
This damn transfer portal and the new transfer rule has watered the recruiting down! Frustrating ! Some coaches want you ready NOW! These coaches lives are in the line! IF THEY HAVE TO QUESTION YOUR MOTOR OR HOW HARD YOU PLAY.. your done!
Congrats to
@turner_buttry
on his commitment to Eastern Ky University!!! Hard nosed PG who will be another tough guard apart of the A.W Hamilton regime .. congrats to a great family
@ButtryShane
#Manimal
It’s a special thing , especially in AAU when you have parents that are bought in and let you COACH their kids! That’s when you see real growth! The parents that won’t leave and wanna get a better spot after a bad weekend. When you find those and talent.. good things happen!
Ima leave this right here for all you guys who think you can play at next level... NOT EVERYONE GETS THAT CHANCE!! What can you do to separate yourself??
@ManimalElite
has lost a friend / father/ mentor / coach and much more.. this man meant a lot to the organization and these young men as he treated them as his own! Love you UNK JB .. rest in love OG .. WE WILL ALL MISS YOU!
@ThePAyersShow25
@fkhs35
We all have platforms to help these young players get seen.. at the end of the day .. ITS THE PLAYER WHO HAS TO PRODUCE! No one can sprinkle dust on you and get you a scholarship . COACHES ARENT HANDING OUT SCHOLARSHIPS FOR GUYS WHO CANT PLAY! KIDS DESERVE THE CREDIT!

- High School: Greenwood (KY) GPA: 3.6 - 2020/2021 Season Avg : 20.9ppg / 7 rbpg - Cade brings such a defensive presence to this team, his energy and toughness are contagious - I urge college coaches to see value in what he brings to the table!

I love all this talk!! It’s what we need!!
@kbchoops
had a great atmosphere for these players to battle it out! Win/ lose .. it’s always to talk a little trash and battle it out on court. I just know we have some slept on talent in the bluegrass state!
GOODLUCK to all my KY teams traveling to Indy this weekend to help these kids! We all have the same goals!! Stay safe and LETA GET IT!

If you can’t compete then don’t play sports ...all our kids know who have been with us know you must COMPETE NO MATTER WHAT! Some guys compete, some guys worry about if there name will be on Twitter ..
