Now we need to get him some green!

Press Release:
This situation has gotten to be so unfortunate. AAU “recruiting” is absolutely nuts. I thought I’d seen it all. Grown people, trying to manipulate kids so you can feed your ego and your AAU team has a good record is not worth it. Let’s think about the kids first folks.
It’s an honor to help start a new chapter for the Suns. Focusing on developing players to reach the next level, compete on a national level with
@BlueStarTeams
and of course some of the nations best talent with so many quality clubs here at home. The grind continues & never stops
Shout to all the black men involved in girls and womens basketball. Appreciate all y’all. Breaking down negative stereotypes and imprinting positive images of black men to generations of daughters, nieces and beyond.
2nd place is never our goal but as long as we leave it all out on the floor, we live with the results and grow from it. Love this group. More work to do
Since 3rd grade, there have been so reasons to be proud of Tori, mostly the person she is, and how she’ll do everything for her team! Love the kid like my own family. Taught well by her phenomenal parents, all her accomplishments are Earned and Deserved
#LaFamilia
Ups and downs over the last 5 yrs, and the family has changed but we’re still familia. The work endures and bonds stay strong. Win, lose or draw, we do it together. One more July run, and I can guarantee we won’t be outworked.

Big congrats to
@Lydiamn34
who is headed to
@WinonaStateWBB
. Lyd found the right fit and I can’t wait to see her as a Warrior. So proud of this kid and all the work she put in.
Heavy Day. So proud of how these girls have grown and developed as people more than players. I’m blessed by the opportunity to coach them and the way they have joined my family. I want nothing but happiness and success for them on and off the court. I love y’all
#lafamilia
12 games over 8 straight days with no rest days. 8-4 played some high level basketball, had some great battles with really good teams and players. Dang this is fun, but we’re ready to get home and REST!!!!

#lafamilia
It’s been an absolute pleasure to watch
@TheNia_Holloway
play over the years. Having coached against her, this young woman’s motor and tenacity are unmatched. Plus she always looks like she’s having fun playing. I’m a fan. Greatness ahead for her at
@GopherWBB
It’s always great to win but I’m more proud of the way we played. We did everything we work so hard on in practice, especially defensively. Proud of our group and another spectacular job by our parents doing so much behind the scenes.
@MNSunsbball
Amazing, incredible, spectacular, etc. All accurately describe
@OehrleinTori
and she continues to achieve. Through injury, doubles and triples at times since 7th grade and to get 3K. Just wow. Proud of you kid.
Seeing the joy in the girls faces, enjoying what they accomplished together as a family is what makes everything worth it!
@HopkinsRoyals
are the State Champions of Minnesota through hard work, dedication and desire. Love this entire group, fortunate to be part of this family.
It’s cool to go 3-1 on the weekend against high level competition but the bigger deal is seeing our kids challenge their weaknesses and expand their strengths. We all got better this weekend so I’m happy
#AGNB
I can’t say it enough. When you coach good players that are also good people and kids you are just proud to know, that’s something different. CHARACTER!!! Makes everything that much better
#lafamilia
2025 S40, Family over everything and we are locked in with our new additions and the best player in Minnesota one of the best in the country. Does whatever it takes to make sure everyone on the team is successful. You know what it is

The young phenom. Best all around player in Minnesota. One of America’s best 2026 kids and one of the best teammates you’ll ever see.
@OehrleinTori
Special group. Our last week of competition in Minnesota with our 2024s then on the road. Love this team, the kids and parents. Fortunate to have them all.

@_TatumWoodson
, the most explosive guard in the state showing the incredible athleticism, skill and playmaking ability day in and day out. Kid can score and lock down on the other end. Coaches, this one is special.

My girl, my PG, my family. Congrats
@Evieschmitz9
on finding the right fit! I’m so proud of all you have done over this last 6 years and I’m incredibly excited for what’s next.
2 of the 43 pts
@OehrleinTori
scored tonight got her to 1,000. Accomplished with hard work and her continued work will earn her a lot of accomplishments in the future!
Unbelievable finish to the Shakopee and EP game. Hard fought and no reason for anyone to hang their head. They left it all out there. Congrats to
@OliviaPawlicki
and the Sabres! Livy led the Sabres with 14 pts, made 4 triples and played an awesome game. Incredibly proud of her
There is no other situation I would have preferred for this special group to be in this year. Thank you
@SelectEventsBB
for the amazing Select 40 platform. Time to work! We want that trophy next year
@MNSunsbball
This weekend Tori (
@OehrleinTori
) showed what makes her great. She scored, rebounded, defended, handled the pressure in the full court and created for her teammates with her passing. Did it all at

@MNSunsbball
Hope all the black folks that are leaders and anyone in positions of influence, youth and adults, continue to understand the power they hold. The power to be change makers and build with positivity in the face of darkness.
Congratulations to Brenna on finding the right spot. So proud of her and it’s amazing to coach such a great kid and get to know her over the last year. Amazing things to come for her.

Session 1 and
@PBRhoops
Heart of Texas. We figured it out and got rolling quick. Looking forward to Appleton next week and then Louisville. Let’s compete
Long week, and I’m so proud of this group. They’re pushed out of their comfort zone, challenged and they respond and grow each time. They’ve become comfortable being uncomfortable, which is a big ask. Amazing group of young people. They earn everything they’re getting.
I wanna see a

@breannastewart
and eventually
@paigebueckers1
signature shoe. The impact this could have on young women and the women’s game...cmon now. This should easily already be happening
What a year. Finishing the year with a big win over a familiar MN foe, culminating the process. Thankful for the opportunity to coach amazing young people and hoped positively impact their lives. I can’t wait to build for next yr! 2026 and 2029 let’s work 🫡
5 straight weekends playing against tough opponents and the dealing with me. These young ladies always step up to the challenge. Another championship game today at 3:25. Our 3rd consecutive title game. That’s what you work for
#lafamilia
Thank you for the kind words Grant, thankful for the chance to be involved in the game I love and work with great kids. Shouts to all the coaches working to help make the game better.
And Tori you know what it is
#lafamilia
People in basketball need to understand, situations MATTER!!! Never underestimate the power of surrounding yourself with good people most concerned with helping YOU succeed, not themselves
2025 S40, started it from scratch and now seeing them start to come together, trust the process and develop as a team so they can leave better than they came and help each other get where they want to go. Let’s work!
Good start for us, lots of work to do to get better as a unit but talent won’t be an issue. Back to work and then off to
@SelectEventsBB
for The Clash in Hamilton, OH this weekend.
Short of our goal, 3-1 3rd place finish in MN State is tuff though. Congrats to a tough and talented
@NorthTartan
team on a great battle and going on to win it. We’ll see you down the road. Proud of this group and the growth is just starting
#AGNB
Minnesota’s best all around player for my money is
@OehrleinTori
. Does it all on both ends of the floor. I know she can’t wait to get to Roses and compete.
@MNSunsbball
S40
@SelectEventsBB
I haven’t seen many kids that play with the passion and joy
@OehrleinTori
plays with. Then she’s a ferocious competitor. She balled out in AZ. Scoring, defending and just being Tori. Well deserved that she’s considered a top 10 2026 in the country.
@MNSunsbball
Salute, amazing class of 2024. Through everything on and off the court, we stayed connected and kept la familia strong. 14 tournament championships, 2 national runner-up finishes, 13-4 in Select 40 play, and a whole lot of free college. Best part is…WE TOOK THE STAIRS
Congrats on your great season and the recognition you earned because of it
@OehrleinTori
and
@shantellharden
. Extremely proud of you both. All earned from work, nothing else
On to the title game.
@MNSunsbball
2024 BlueStar is 6-0 in DC so far and playing for the 15U
@USJN
National Championship. Hard fought win over a really tough Pennsylvania Magic team. 1:15 PM for the title
#AGNB
Usually stick to sports on here but...
I can completely disagree with the methods and still wholeheartedly understand the emotions, being pushed too far. And I’m one of the lucky ones dealing with Minneapolis PD.
Go my driving miles in today but worth every second to be able to share in this special moment with my basketball family. Definitely earned and deserved
The work gets you where you need to go. We prioritize the love and the grind. Everything else comes from that. Earned for sure
@OehrleinTori
. Now time to get back to work to get ready for July
@SelectEventsBB
S40
Mental health and fitness are such an important aspect of everything we all do. I’m excited to add Nia Hollie and Hannah Silva-Breen in these new roles. Going to be amazing to watch these two grow and work with other AAU programs, high schools, colleges and pros in the future.
Might have a bias, but,
@OehrleinTori
is a top 5 player in the state regardless of class. Raises the level of everyone around her, always has her teammates back, respectful of her opponent and always plays the right way. Another 36 pts and 15 rebs tonight. But no jersey swap 🤣
People have asked for years when I see them “You see Paige everyday, is really as good as people say?” I’ve said the same thing every time. No she’s better. Bruh she’s the best. Point blank
Thank you to everyone that supported or attended
@MNSunsbball
Spring Showcase.
It was a great weekend and congratulations to all the champions and every participant!
This is the first time in 7 years I’ve been home on the 4th. To have a 3 days weekend with the wife n kids and the grill, some backyard water fun and movie nights; it’s been amazing. I love the AAU road trips but nothing beats family time
Crazy game. Empire Flames made a heck of a shot at the buzzer to win after Tori made 2 clutch free throws to take the lead. Amazing season for these young women, 15-2 in July and growth as individuals and as a team. Proud to coach this group. Can’t wait for next year. Luh y’all
Meet the Suns - 2024 S40: Fargo flamethrower Brenna Dick
@brenna_dick
joins the squad and is a great athlete, heck of shooter and such a smart player. One of the top players in all of ND. Come see her this spring and summer.
2025 S40 charged up with one of the states top scorers, with anywhere in the gym range. But watch the game, she can pass, she can attack and finish and has the mind of hooper. Excited to get to work

team. Finishing the first half of July 9-1. Rest, recover and then back to work to prepare for
@USJN
DC.
#AGNB
Dang,
@mollyjanke
just plays so hard. She competes for everything at all times when she’s in the game. Can shoot it with deep range and is a big strong athlete that gets into the paint and is physical on both ends.
@MNSunsbball
@BlueStarBB
Great weekend of ball and Minneapolis showed out for WBB. Learned a lot at the convention, was able to finesse some front row seats to UConn v Stanford and my lil girl got to experience an amazing event. Big W
Very impressed by the organization and safety measures
@MinnesotaFury
have implemented and maintained. Keeping safety as a priority allows us to play. Good work by their team
