I love you Pops
@CoachBrooksVT
. Everything we talked about in April 2019 we turned into reality. We had a great season & you took my game to new heights. God I wanted to go get that NCAA tournament so bad for you, my teammates and this state 😪
Met my fav player tonight. Lost for words. True — Persistent — Hungry — REAL…Relentless dude. Can’t wait to get in the lab witchu, the lefty way! Thank you
@isaiahthomas
Family, Friends, Hokie Nation,
I am ok & my head is high... Today I found out what direction my life will go in first! Not how it will finish. I love you guys. My heart won’t let me stop! Stay tuned
So today I did a thing...🧑🎓This degree is dedicated to my mother. She raised me on her own for a while & taught me so much about adversity along the way. I know this Master’s Degree can’t pay you back for all the things you’ve done for me but it’s a start. I love you!
God makes NO mistakes — Trusting him through it all. Super excited to be apart of a great organization
@unicajaCB
Almost time to win games! Malaga, Spain 🇪🇸 ✈️
Whether the season resumes or not, Hokie nation it’s been a hell of a ride. 21-9 season with 13 of those wins in 🏰! Senior year on the court, in my home state, has been one of the greatest feelings I’ve ever experienced
🙏🏾 I had a lot of success, joy, love and wins in this state. I’m so THANKFUL God is bringing me back to Georgia. I swear I’m gonna give it everything I got in camp! I been chasing this dream for a long time. I never stopped. I never quit. 🙏🏾Thank you God 🥹
Woke up feeling even more proud to be a Hokie 🦃
@HokiesWBB
So proud of the staff, players & Hokie Nation
@CassellGuardVT
. This is what I wore to shoot around lol
21-9 season✔️
Enjoyed every bit of my Grad Year
Played in my 🏠 state✔️
Night in & night out did whatever my team needed me to for the W✔️
God is Great🤍
I put my career on hold for a whole year for my family & came back to the game with no regret. Just work & preparation 🏁 Keep faith & Keep God first at all times ✝️
Proud of my debut tho! 0 Turnovers in 18 minutes. 6 assist / 50% from 3, 60% from the field! I can’t thank God enough for the talk we had before the game
We’re literally on the court hooping… while going at the other team… then I’m smacking fives with the other team MID GAME… then we’re competing talking 💩… then we’re hugging after the game. The CHARACTER in this league is UNMATCHED
It was nice getting to know the new ppl I didn’t know before & it was great building a closer bond with those that I already knew on the team. I wish all of the Atlanta Dream staff & players nothing but the best. And I thank you for welcoming me 💕
@AtlantaDream
Proud of my teammates. In 4 years I’ve never been on a team who had a cumulative GPA of 3.42. We hold each other to high standards. If you not pushing yourself you can look left or right and realize you gotta pick it up. No negativity to lean on. That’s something special
Aisha Sheppard was one of the ACC's best this season and was named an All-ACC First-Team selection as chosen by the league's head coaches! 🦃🏀

I always work my butt off. But I worked my butt off in LA last week, and when I landed back in VA, I got my first Free Agency call ☑️🙏🏾 The work never lies 🏁🏁🏁
Thank you to all of the wonderful Hokie fans and parents who came out to support us at Wake! We played an away game but it sure didn’t feel like it! We appreciate you all so much. Let’s keep climbing! 📈 CYOD

It only took 1 year. With all that’s going on in the world it’s easy to look at the negatives of 2020. I like to look at the positives and talk what I want to happen into existence. Just like this banner that’s in this picture — It was achieved together.
I couldn’t play my first game because I didn’t complete this test yet. Today I got news that I could play in my first game for

Excited for this role. I thrive high-pressure and huge task. It’s time to recruit and build! As a young adult who has played basketball on every level, I believe I can truly help athletes not only become better players but even better people

@auprohoops
Thank you for everything! This league gave me another shot at the game of basketball after life hit me SO HARD. No NCAA Tournament my last year of college. Going undrafted. Covid happened no good overseas jobs. I am so thankful & appreciative for this league
Still wondering who the Seattle Storm might sign as their PG. Some names still left are Moriah Jefferson, Odyssey Sims, Jordin Canada, Bria Hartley, Rui Machida, Sydney Colson, Yvonne Turner, etc. There’s also Marina Mabrey and Shey Peddy who are restricted FA’s.

Until I sign with a team I am ready to give back and lock in on the next generation! I promise to prep you for things I’ve went through and build you into a strong competitive leader! Success is measured by preparation & production! Let’s work click the QR code to register ✅

. a CHEMISTRY. We talking about chemistry... not the game, not the game... *A.I. Voice*
This is the beginning. Many circumstances things I could complain about. But a champion mindset is why I continue to rise. Winners complain, winners want to hear themselves talk. Champions do not complain, because they’re focusing on what they said they want to do as a goal.
