What happened to basketball IQ at the high school level?
All I see is panic mode. Running plays to just run plays. Not even looking at counters or taking advantage of the bad defense.

High school programs:
GET WITH THE TIMES!
Game day & final score edits should be blasted all over X. Add the student athlete stats as well.
Live stream your games via YouTube.
People want to support, they want to watch & be updated!
College coaches are always looking!

Someone explain to me, out of state AAU tournaments for elementary school kids… with no affiliation to big circuits.
It’s just a big weekend field trip right!? That’s what parents are paying for right?
You can still play same, better, decent, worst comp in your own state.

Hey aau teams, y’all don’t need to have a parent film you throwing away the trash after the game.
Just do it. Getting a little ridiculous at this point.
Do the right thing and leave the place/ “bench” better then you got there.
Simple life skill.

High school basketball players! Congratulations on your offers/roster spots, just make sure it’s for the “varsity” team & not the “development” program.
Have heard from a lot of players that went away to school, they didn’t know they were recruited for the JV team

H.S Athletes:
Coaches at next level want players that can make shots. Are U committed to being automatic from midrange & extended. Are U putting in the time?
Can U play defense? Are U committed to sacrificing your body.
No secret formula for the off season. Just hard work.

🚨 Public announcement to recruits.
Stop telling me your interested in attending & representing. Stop telling me our school offers everything you are looking for. Stop telling me you be a great fit for our program.
We’re D3 JUCO.. this route is brutal. Do some research on us

D3 school are more picky with their roster then scholarship schools. Prove me wrong. Because you can’t lol.
Most answers I’ve received. We don’t recruit out of our “region”.
But the student athlete can play, has good grades,wants to start a new chapter in a different state.

Most AAU programs won’t talk to JUCO programs because it’s makes their brand look bad…
As they send students to certain academic programs.
Just look at the numbers and the transfer placement from juco programs. That’s your evidence.

OWN OPINION: Think the MIAA is headed towards the right direction with the new tournament format. Now let’s make league tournaments mandatory before the big dance and out of season coaching available!
Am I asking for too much? 👀🤣🤣🤣

If you are a forward in high school. You will be converted into a wing at the college level.
Work on your dribbling, work on your outside shot. Improve your game.
At the college level, forwards and centers will eat you up alive.
Transparency!

If you can play college basketball it’s an honor and a privilege. Skill set and academics play a role into it.
At the end of the day. D1/D2/D3/NAIA/USCAA.
If you don’t receive a full ride.
It’s all about your package. Number one goal is to be in less debt as possible.

AAU programs and high school coaches advertising their players on this platform is one thing.
But telling Twitter/X that they are only interested in certain levels (example: NAIA or D2) is hilarious.

If you are legit, coaches and programs will find you.

Reach out to college coaches/programs via email.

Sophomores and Juniors, appreciate you reaching out about our program. But we are not recruiting Underclassmen.
At the juco level, we recruit seniors.
Confused if you are looking for “offer” just to show off or really interested about a d3 juco near Boston 🤣

With high school tryouts happening next week.
Just a reminder, it’s an honor to be on varsity as a underclassmen but if you aren’t playing
Get playing time & continue to work on your craft at the freshman/JV level.
Being on varsity & not playing doesn’t make you better.

High school basketball programs should have a coach on staff for skill development. Am I wrong for saying this? How much skills are you doing each practice as you prepare for your next opponent.

The success of a great high school basketball coach has a lot of factors. You can say wins, league championships, playoff contenders, etc.
But the real factor is how many alumni come back & help the program? How many volunteer their time to get into coaching because of the HC?

At the youth level. It’s about teaching kids how to play basketball. How to pass, score, play defense, etc.
Stay away from the zones and the presses.
That’s just an excuse from the coach because he or she wants the W so bad.
Winning at 9 or 10 years old doesn’t mean anything.
