S/O to all the AAU coaches and program directors. Your sleepless nights, personal finances, time away from your family, personal life on hold, mentorship, leadership, etc. Is very much appreciated. Thank you for investing in these kids.

My daughter has been in and out of the hospital for the past 10 days. This week coming up is going to be very hard for her. With that being said, please pray for my baby girl. And pray that God give me strength as well. Thank you ❤️🙏🏽.

I’ve tested positive for Covid-19 & have every symptom possible…. Please pray for a speedy recovery, but most of all that my family doesn’t get it, including my granddaughter Serenity (who has a heart condition). I’ll be checking out for a while, but will update when I can ❤️.

The very thing I’ve been protecting her from since the day she was born, has now attacked her little body. Serenity is in ICU at Children’s Hospital w/ COVID-19. She’s hurting. In pain. Crying & crying & there is nothing I can do for her but pray. Please,say one for her today

S/O to all the program directors that work hard for their kids - promoting via social media, mentoring, reaching out to College Coaches, and everything else they do. Young athletes, aside from your hard work, this is what gets you scholarship offers.

My daughter and I just left Nordstroms at the Galleria Mall. As we were leaving, police cars began to rush toward the store. I get home and find out, there was an active shooter. I just started to cry and thanked God for always covering us.

Too many program directors are concerned about playing on a shoe circuit. but honestly, building solid relationships with college coaches should be the priority.

The power of prayer works. I can’t thank everyone enough for all the prayers and support. Serenity is doing much better today. Her oxygen levels are stable & was able to be taken off breathing treatments this afternoon.

Y’all are going to quit snoozing on these “unranked” kids real soon. Many just need an opportunity, but you wouldn’t know that bc you’re relying a source of “scouting hype”.

PSA to Players: . Put your full name in your social media bio, along with class, position, and school. This would make life so much easier for media outlets, scouts, and anyone else looking to post or follow you.

There’s a difference between being liked and valued. A lot of people “like” you, but don’t “value” you. Know the difference…And, by all means, KNOW your value.

Young athletes. your mannerism, attitude, and how you treat adults goes further than you think. Be mindful of that, especially when you’re at an event or around people that are here to help YOU.

I spoke to Jazz a couple of days ago, and he wanted me to send this out - his cover story on Swin City Mag. When you get a chance, read about the “OG” Jazzy Hartwell. An impactful journey of dedication, passion, and contribution to our young athletes & the basketball community.

Dear coaches, .If I ask for your rosters related to my events, it’s for the following reasons: . 1. I like to create a “Players to watch” packet that goes out to MEDIA & our college coach database of about 10,000 college coaches - in an effort to HELP your kids gain more exposure.

There are so many layers in this business…Agendas, motives. People connected to certain people, that you had no clue about. People that got juice, that you would have never expected. To say all this, be mindful of how you move, who you cross, & who you associate with.

I’ve witnessed over and over how people have tried to deliberately sabotage my advancement within the sports industry. Funny thing is, I’m a child of the KING and serve a mighty God 🙏🏽. Moral: Be mindful of who you come for. It just might backfire, and become your downfall.

There are people I don’t care for in this industry, but I’m cordial…. Although, I know they’ll never help me, I know they can hurt me by hurting my future opportunities. You gotta be strategic, though. This is chess, not checkers.

My neighbor’s son tried to commit suicide last night. The paramedics were able to revive him, & he’s currently in the hospital. These kids are hurting. Many of them bored. Loss of human interaction outside of their homes. Depressed, sad, uncertain. #PrayForOurYouth.

Young athletes, as we move forward into this AAU season- It’s not only about what you do on court but off court as well. Your attitude. Your leadership. Your communication. How you support your teammates. Your social media activity- ALL OF THAT MATTERS.
