I’m going to say this and I mean it from the heart…
The one who is willing to challenge you, hold you accountable, and tell you what you need to hear even though it may not be want you want to hear is not your enemy.
That’s the person that genuinely wants to see you win!
BEING on an EYBL team doesn’t guarantee you a scholarship.
PLAYING on an EYBL team doesn’t guarantee you a scholarship.
PLAYING WELL might get you one though..
YES she’s a 6’3 8th grade Center
NO I don’t care if you think she should spend all of her time working on post moves
YES I would absolutely allow her to try this in the game, actually will encourage it!

I gotta say it…
At a time where earning a college scholarship will be harder than ever, high school kids are working way less and expecting way more.
It’s an interesting dynamic that’s gonna leave a lot of people with high expectations in disappointment.
The price went up.
Up to this point of the morning I’ve heard already from the following programs:
Oregon
Texas
North Texas
Louisiana Tech
Arizona
Hawaii
TCU
Lamar
It’s a blessing for our kids to have had the opportunity to go out and show the fruits of their labor.
Reflecting on the start of club hoops and it must be said…
Rest in heaven Big Keith 🕊️. Rest in heaven Adrian 🕊️.
In this game the sacrifices are great — health, wealth, time that can’t be replaced.
If you love your coach, hug your coach! Frfr 🤎
A HIGH high major coach made the following statement to me today about a kid that he’s made the decision to no longer recruit:
“There is no doubt that she has the talent to play here. It’s just all the other stuff I’m not willing to deal with.”
…there’s a word in that!
I love a parent that can communicate their frustrations respectfully, is open to feedback/other perspectives, and willing to partner to create win-win solutions.
Anything done TOGETHER, is done better.
Bro, there’s so much that could be said, but I’ll leave it at this — THANK YOU for being a model family man, servant leader, amazing coach, and an even better person. You will be missed & never forgotten.
🕊🖤💔

Posting your ‘statement’ is cool, but let’s be clear...
A well written twitter post isn’t a true expression of care and concern. Your decisions made and actions taken are truly what make a difference.
Granny used to say, “I put 2 on what you say, and 10 on what you do.”
I know I owe numerous responses, next steps, follow-ups, etc.
But in this moment there’s one message I want to send…
Dear Lord, God, THANK YOU! Forever grateful for the opportunities, relationships, and blessings. It’s YOU and not me, always has been, always will be. 🙏🏾🙌🏾
We used to share the sidelines in July, now my girls are hogging the baselines like bosses‼️
So very proud of Charleston Southern’s

Shout out to the
@PBRhoops
team. There is no 100% solution to prevent the spread of COVID-19. But the planning, communication, and execution of the Premier team for HOT and the 64 was top tier!
Free Game
The “exposure” recipe is a combination of the following:
• Where you play (both circuit and non-circuit events matter)
• Who is on your roster
• Who you are playing against
• Program relationships
…and when all that is done, players still have to perform!
Everybody plays on a “circuit” now.
Many can get you “offers”.
We get you ready to PLAY at the next level.
…and we’ve got the receipts to prove it!

The chances of getting a D1 scholarship will pretty soon gonna rival making it to the league.
Approx 350 D1 schools times 2-3 scholarships per year creates about 875 opportunities per year.
Portal: 1,000 +/- 100
High School Sr. hopefuls: 100K
+ Internationals
You do the math.
Yesterday was a blessing! 14‼️ProSkills student-athletes signed NLIs to secure their next 4 years of 📚 & 🏀.
I wish each and every one of you the very best of luck in all of your future endeavors.

Dear Modern Day Parents -
Adversity is a good thing for your child(ren), not a bad thing.
If you are patient enough — their (& your) temporary feelings of hurt & disappointment will subside and be replaced by new and more powerful feelings determination & resilience.
Team Twitter please take a minute to say a prayer for a beautiful lady who is one of the most influential ladies in DFW basketball.Instrumental in making DFW a basketball powerhouse. As she prayed over our kids say a prayer for full healing for Cynthia Guillory

I’m blocking off tomorrow and dedicating it to college recruitment.
Coaches: if you have questions, saw a player you liked, have specific class or position needs, or just don’t know what you don’t know...hit me up, let’s rap.
Our program is loaded with kids - D3 to High Major!
Hands down we have some of the best coaches (that happen to be female) in the game!

We started this journey 5 years ago and vision is steadily unfolding. We’ve given our blood, sweat, and tears...and still bringing HAVOC! (IYKYK).
Calling you a friend would be disrespectful. I love you brother!

Keep opportunist away from me. I don’t want you with me because you think it’s the fastest route, because when you see something you think is faster you’ll leave.
I want the slow cookers! They understand and value the time, effort, and process it’s takes to make something great.
If I’m always on your back, that means I see something in you and I’m really caring.
The day I go silent, let things slide, overlook your mistakes — that’s when you know I’ve checked out.
Let’s not overcomplicate the eval. If she looks like a star, walks like a star, and performs like a star….then what is she!?
6’1 2027 Grind Prep CG De’Andra Minor (

Spent some time in the short corner midpost today with
@Hgusters_12
and
@jdm1802
working on jab steps, ball fakes, and pace.
The workout was especially dope having two of my younger rising star post forwards watching and working with the two All Americans and future pros.

Shorty passed this shot up a few months back, but that was a few months back.
Up 1 w/ 5 minutes left against undefeated Mizzou…no problem.
