Went to recruit last night & had a kid big time me. I realize we are a small HBCU but remember RECRUITS my scholarship money is just like any other Uni. The degree is on the same paper as any other Uni. & our alumni are as passionate about the WU as any other alumni!

Watching a lot of basketball over the last few days. Question is passing a lost skill? Watching players dribble themselves into trouble is such a bad habit & will have a lot of players on struggle bus at the next level! Suggestion: WHEN YOU SEE A TEAMMATE OPEN GIVE THEM THE 🏀!

Players remember college coaches are watching to see if you can play with other good players. When you get to college that team will be made up of 8 to 9 other good players & the question, is despite what your parent or handlers say, can you mesh & play with that group of plyrs?
