Thank the Lord for another B-Day! This has been an up and down year. Miss u brother! Makes no difference what you’re going through, God’s gonna see you through. Hold your head up, put a smile on your face. This is another test, it won’t last forever. Get ready for your blessing.
Just a few years ago I was depressed, and wondering what my purpose was. Started triaining and then coaching. Now I'm living a dream that usually takes a lifetime for people to achieve. College Coach! Year 2 🙏🏽
I thank God everyday for his blessings! When your heart is pure your goals are clear! 2 division chips and 2 CIAA Chips…I was just an AAU coach and trainer remember…Don’t put limits on Gods people.

Sometimes after the game, I just come sit in the gym alone and reflect. I just thank God so much that I am able to coach! If you always knew what was at the end of the road it may impact how you travel that road! Just keep the faith! 🙏🏾

Fans lined up @ 7 am for D2🏀! We wanted to show our appreciation to our students for showing up and showing out. We handed out Krispy Kreme. One of the best atmospheres in college basketball. Big time home win, ready for Thursday.

Coach of the year! I just want to say what a honor it is to work for a guy like
@CleoHillJr
I couldn't have asked for a better mentor for my first job. S/o Coach Wilson! Coaching is a tough job but the support makes it better.
Pure point guard, scoring point guard, look, just make the right play. Sometimes that will be a shot, extra pass, or drive and kick, basketball is simple we make it complicated.
Recruits, its OK to put passing and some defensive clips in your highlights. Scoring is not the only part to the game. Ive seen 4 min highlights of offense then see it translated to below 5 ppg...Coaches look for more than scoring!
He’s in 4th grade, NO, I’m not worried about a ranking! No, I’m not worried about how many points he score’s! No, I’m not worried about him never coming out the game! No, I’m not worried about a mixtape. I’m praying it’s in God’s will for me to see him through his journey.
Often time we are not able to do what we love, we do what we have to in order to make a decent living. As a kid I dreamed of going pro, but didn’t realize God had other plans. Grateful to coach with and learn from a legend
@CleoHillJr
Congrats to Coach on reaching 200 wins!!!
Time heals all, that’s a lie, cuz I still see the pain every time I close my eyes! We all experience pain, and we all have our own struggles. Life, it’s no manual to this, just got to stay strong. Miss you brother!! 😢 🙏🏾
I was never supposed to bury you, we were supposed to grow old together and take care of mama. It’s been a couple weeks now, and I realize how I was hiding the pain behind 🏀. Now I have to sit in this, praying God hear me! I Love and miss you brother! Rest easy 🕊️🕊️
Almost had it, super proud of the fight the guys had! I love working for Coach Hill because of how much trust he puts in his staff! Thank you to the fans… going to stay humble and work even harder!

From south side of Raleigh to North Carolina General Assembly. I dreamed of reaching heights as a player that God was preparing me for as a coach. Thank you to Senator Lowe and Representative Baker for honoring our 2023 CIAA Championship.
I was able to take my son to feed the homeless. My grandfather has been doing this for over 30 years, every Sunday. Material things are good, but I want to make sure he has a pure heart in all that he does. Give without knowing how/when God will bless you.
Circumstances do not have to determine what you think is possible. We did mock interviews and the players got feedback on how to improve. This was a great learning experience that they can use in their future careers,sports or not. You can plant the seed,don’t forget to water it.
I just want to thank God! From AAU to college coaching! Learned from a legend Tony Edwards to learning from a legend in Coach Hill. Living a dream!

Athletes: Please stop saying you want to be an elite level athlete but you allow yourself to get out of shape. Being in shape doesn't require skill, it requires will.
First Final Four, and wanted to do something I’ll never forget. I hiked up a mountain today, and was nervous! Along the journey I realized….its all about FAITH!
“The man at the top of the mountain didn’t fall there.”
Thank you
@CleoHillJr
and WSSU for giving me an opportunity to be a part of a great program. Enjoyed bringing back championships to a historic place! 🐏🏆🏆🏆🏆
Players, I encourage you to become a student of the game. Many players have great skills, but few know how to break down film. Don't watch the game for highlights, study how you can improve. Your mental ability to play the game is just as important as your phsycial ability.
I never thought we would be living in times that I read about in history books. My son said "dad I pray you make it home." Pain is universal no matter your status. I am a black man first and foremost and tired of seeing our people suffer.
#staystrong
#stayprayedup
I have coached many and trained many, but when your son comes and says… “ Dad I’m tired of watching, I’m ready” it’s a different feeling. God protect him on this journey my only request. *I do not own rights to this music
Never been to New York… Basketball has been a blessing to my life! I thank God that he saw it fit once I got done playing I was able to start coaching. Big time road win and experience.
#GODDID
One thing being an athlete taught me was never get too comfortable, no matter how successful you are, it’s always someone working to be better than you at the same job.
Years ago I had a dream, and now im living it. Grateful for the opportunity to help young student-athletes reach their goals on and off the court.
#GoRams
PSA: Win or lose I'm the same guy. I learn and move on. As a coach or player if you don't have a short memory in sports, it can carry over to your life. Don't let a win or loss define you, let it refine you.
It can be done from anywhere! Remember WHATEVER GOD has for you, no one can stop! I thank him everyday for the ability to help young athletes grow!

good work! 16&10 💪🏾
I was always taught don't look at how a person treats people when they have nothing; look at how they treat them when they have everything and don't need them.
First let me say I did my workout and played ball today so I’m good on calories lol… but stopped by
@snpdankery919
and man listen!!!! If you have not gone, go!
You only get a short window in life to chase your dreams, and an even shorter window to live your dream. Don’t waste any time chasing or living the dream!
Praying for everyone who has a little one that is being taken to school. God I will not be fearful, rather pray and lean not to my own understanding. 🙏🏾
We want to thank Dr. Scales & Brunson Elementary for allowing our players to read to 1st & 3rd grade. Our HC
@CleoHillJr
started a literacy program to help our SA off the court understand how to help those coming behind them. Who you are other than a basketball players matters.
Me: God why?
God: Don't question me...
Me: But I don't understand..
God: Do you question my blessings?
Me: No
God: Then don't question the trials I have for you, just know I'll give you what you need to overcome that trial.
Me: Understood, Thanks 🙏🏽
I’m blessed. As you get older, you understand this time of year is more about giving than receiving. I don’t need any gifts, God has given me the 2 best gifts already, family and coaching!
Come out and watch the Division II Selection Show with Coach Hill and the WSSU Men’s Basketball Team! The show starts at 10:30 PM; party starts at 10:00 PM!
As a coach, its your job to make sure you praise your players just as much as you get on them! Don't get caught up all the time in what happens on the court, find a way to make sure they know you care regardless of role.
I use to pray to God to take me out the struggle, then I realized Gods children have the toughest times. So now I embrace it because I know he equipped me to stay solid.
Best advice I ever got as a player...We all get "IT" at some point...you just better hope it's still while you're playing the game...and not when the game is done with you!
Sometimes in my career field so much time is given to helping other young players reach their dream, that their child’s dream get’s put on hold. My son and I created this, and I told him, enjoy each step and learn what needs to be learned before going to the next!
Ram Fans we want to give a huge S/O to our first fans to arrive to today’s game at 9 am who received a signed basketball and signed rams towel!
