AAU Tip of the day: When you play in front of college coaches, do the moves you work on the most. If you don’t work on specific moves, don’t do them in the game.
AAU Tip of the Day: Stop the fake toughness. You’re not going to fight. Understand that basketball is a physical sport. If you don’t wanna get touched, play poker.
My advice to any aspiring coaches: Don’t get in this profession for money or credit/recognition. It’ll be awhile before you get either. Help the kids as much as you possibly can, then you’ll have your chance at both!
Imagine having 4-5 years of experience when you graduate college at 21-22 years old. Most coaches didn’t get started until that age. We’re fired up and ready to groom guys. Priceless opportunity!!! Send your documents to mcafeer

Keith Appling was born February 13, 1992 in Detroit. Some regard him as one of the best to ever play in the PSL. He helped lead Pershing to two city titles and a Class A state title in 2009, scoring a state record 49 points. Appling also won Mr. Basketball for Pershing in 2010.
🗣2024s: Start challenging yourself in the weight room today. Speed and strength is an advantage transfers will have on you. Do your work early and put yourself in a better position for when it’s decision-making time.
Your least talented players deserve the same love and attention as your best player. As coaches, it’s our job to have an impact on every member of the team. No matter what he/she produces on the court.
Today is the day! Former Bulldog wing and All- Defense selection, James Chappell will be getting married. I’m honored to stand in his wedding. This is what it’s all about. Life long relationships!
Recruits: I know it looks good to your peers, but calm down on the edits for the highlight tapes. Coaches wanna see how fast you are on the break and how explosive you are in the lane. The slow mo messes all that up. You not slept on, we just can’t tell!
Like this tweet if you think they could have detained him before he got to the other side of the vehicle instead of following him with guns drawn. You’re not going to follow someone like this if you’re in fear for your life.
This Izzo slander kills me. Izzo has been a head coach longer than Aaron Henry has been alive. I didn’t seen one tweet about Aaron talking back to his coach in his FIRST EVER ncaa tourney game.
GLIAC CHAMPIONS! Ferris State claims at least a share of the GLIAC Championship with a hard-fought 76-72 OT win over Michigan Tech tonight at Wink Arena!
So you mean to tell me no NBA needs this? Nearly 70% from the field, protects the rim and runs the floor better than any big that got drafted. Someone will be scratching their head soon.
Don’t take your parents for granted. Be grateful that your parents love you and are mentally stable enough to raise you. Everyone wasn’t dealt that hand.
🚨Ferris State MBB Exposure Camp coming June 2nd. We’ve offered and signed kids who took advantage of this opportunity! We will have other college programs there to evaluate talent as well. Don’t miss your chance to play at the next level! Contact me for registration!
Had a blast on the road this month. I appreciate the tremendous effort from all the coaches and players that made every mile worth driving.
Elite Camp August 1st then looking forward to an exciting fall in Big Rapids!!! 🐶🏀
I feel bad for the kids that are missing out on opportunities because of COVID. Don’t get discouraged, keep working on your game.
Your preparation and your opportunity will meet at some point.
Make sure you’re ready!
In the second half, GVSU opened up a seven point lead, quieting the Ferris State crowd. Vejas Grazulis got the crowd back into it with this defensive stand against his brother and the crowd erupted again moments later when a Ben Davidson three tied the game at 51.
@MISportsNow
Wrapped up the evaluation period in Fort Wayne. I saw so many kids that have what it takes to play at the next level. I’m looking forward to building new relationships.

A wise man once told me, you are what your offers are.
The amount of misguided prospects out there is very disheartening.
Please understand that an opportunity from ANY level can change your life.
I remember going home after practice and Kay, an 8th grader at the time, was in that gym running full court shooting pull ups. This was earned, not given. So happy the Pershing family made this happen. 🅿️
GLIAC TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONS! Ferris State beats
#2
GVSU 59-51 to capture the first tournament title in school history and a berth in the NCAA Tournament!
@FerrisWBBall
The worst part about being a coach and recruiting is the fact that you can’t take them all. There are so many good young players out there, that will be great no matter where they end up.
I’m looking forward to the competition!
Let’s make life improvements today! Dentist/Doctor appointment, drink water, eat better, workout, read a book. No matter what it is, make a life improvement.
Current Bulldog freshman Michael Peterson is heading into his sophomore year as a National Champ. He got his first look from the Ferris State coaching staff by attending our Exposure Camp. Don't miss your opportunity this Sunday, June 3rd.
Our Exposure Camp is a great opportunity for our coaching staff to evaluate your skill level within our system. On top of that, we are able to have face to face conversation with participants before school starts. Want to get recruited? See you there! 🐶🏀
SC! LOCKER: We go back to the highlights of the 2009

I had a great time with all the campers today. Today was everything I expected it to be. Guys worked hard, learned and got better. That’s what it’s all about. Thanks to all the campers that supported our camps this summer. Hope to see you at a game or 5 this year!
Talk about a steal!!! Working hard is an understatement when it comes to Coach Lake. UW-Stout Basketball is in great hands. Congrats again coach! So excited to see what the future holds.
Only one spot left for our Undergraduate Assistant Program. Coaches if you know a kid that wants to stay connected with the game and start their coaching career, please get ahold of myself or Coach Bronks. We have a great opportunity available!
Made it through a demanding month of June. Thank you to all of the teams, coaches, players, kids, parents and grandparents that made our camps the place to be. We will continue to work to improve your visits each summer.

I can’t recall the last time I was jealous of anyone or anything. But I’m jealous of all the teams that are able to get in the gym together, meanwhile I’m practicing all the moves I wanna teach on a nurf hoop.
My 1st yr coaching, South Carolina's student section heckled our team with "Your Coach is a Middle School Coach" chants🤣🤣! Of course, I'm Honored to be part of this list.

Please do not join an organization/program if you have no intentions on buying into the culture. It will only make you unhappy and hinder the growth of the unit.
