NEWS FLASH: JUCO ISNT JUST FOR KIDS WHO HAVE BAD GRADES OR DONT QUALIFY, PLENTY OF QUALIFIERS PLAY ONE YEAR OF JUCO AND BOOST THEIR RECRUITMENT. YOU’RE BETTER OFF PLAYING WHERE YOU ARE NEEDED AND WANTED, INSTEAD SITTING WHERE YOU THOUGHT YOU SHOULD BE.

I hope all of 6’4-6’7 kids are watching number 11 for Baylor. Dude is 6’5 playing the 4 at the highest college level and is successful because he rebounds and defends! AT 6’5. Being a star in his role. You decide your success and position. Not what position you think you are.

Just some food for thought. The Miami Heat are up in a playoff series 2-0 with two JUCO dudes and a guy who originated at a D3. Think about that next time you feel like you're too good play at those levels.

Question: Why don't more "basketball people" have kids explore JUCO? I know it's not the most "praised" option but it gives you time to develop and allow you to be re-recruited. You are also playing at an extremely high level. The stigma of JUCO I hear at times is wild. Why?

PSA: HIGH SCHOOL PUBLIC 🏀 IS NOT REC 🏀. YOUR CHILD MAY OR MAY NOT PLAY EVERY GAME. THIS ISNT THE YMCA OR A CHURCH LEAGUE. PLAYING TIME IS EARNED NOT GIVEN. INSTEAD OF BLAMING THE COACH OR YELLING IN THE STANDS, ASK YOUR CHILD WHY THEY DONT PLAY. I BET THEY CAN TELL YOU. 🏀🏀

Everyone wants to play D1/D2 or be a scholarship player, but rarely consider JUCO. Coaches at the 4-year level are recruiting more and more JUCO guys because they typically produce right away. Again young hoopers. GO WHERE YOU ARE WANTED! NOT WHERE YOU THINK YOU SHOULD BE!

You mean CP3 is killing without taking 45 dribbles and crossing over 23 times. And he’s a 6’0 guard. Wow!! It’s almost like he’s just taking what the defense is giving him and just making a simple read. That’s just an observation though.

I’m an advocate for JUCO guys. This team has a roster full! Remember this, JUCO dudes don’t care about playing a HS All American or a top 10 NBA prospect, all they know is competition. JUCO makes you better. So stop downplaying it.

McCants is a perfect example of a losing mentality. “I didn’t have to work hard. I didn’t have to tryout. They opened the door for me.” Listen to him. One is a 13 year pro still playing. The other played 5 years. Your mindset is EVERYTHING.

I know JUCO isn't the coolest option out or the most "praised" option by the ones that call you "lil bro" but JUCO produces some of best 🏀's every year. Keep sleeping on it. JUCO is a great option for kids that actually want to hoop.

You can go to any trainer you want, play on the biggest AAU circuit there is, have the best highlight tape on social media, play in every exposure event. But, If you don’t COMPETE every single second you have the chance too, then you will not be truly successful in the game of 🏀

I’m confused with some of this high school 🏀 voting. How does a kid get District POY but not conference POY. Seeing that the district is comprised of many conferences. Sounds like the voters need to be changed or not take it personal. It only hurts the kid.

Lebron is playing the long game. He’s taking this year off to get his family adjusted to that lifestyle in LA and expand his brand outside of basketball. This season is just cardio for him. Two max guys will sign this summer. He will be in the mix next year. Chess not checkers.
