We have local Public High Schools telling their players to play for the assistant coaches AAU Team. Parents of these young athletes saying they feel pressured to play so they get minutes next year. Interesting!!!

This has to be a joke. Jordan did not play wing. Jordan was a Shooting Guard. I hope you understand that a Wing is a Small Forward. Jordan was 6’6” which is a good size shooting guard. You evidently did not see footage of the defense played back in that era to make this comment
Cameron Cole has committed to the United States Naval Academy. Cameron has not only set himself up for his next steps in College but he has set himself up for Life beyond college. We are proud of you. Go be great Cam 🦾.
#playmakers
2 Down and 5 more to go! We got guys for every level. Until they commit I’m going to fill your timeline with them. I’m going to contact u. All of my guys will play at the next level. All my guys are deserving of an opportunity. All of my guys are workers. ALL OF THEM!!! Buy now
I’m hoping offers are coming from all of these camps. I’m hoping the kids you really looking at are not on the other court. I’m hoping your not just calling to get kids to come to your fundraiser especially when you didn’t return their dm. Just hoping the rumors are false. 👀
Cam has had an incredible Senior Season and he is not done yet. 1000 points/ 1st Team All Defense/ 1st Team All Conference/ Player of the Year/Naval Academy Commit/ what’s next … State Champs??? All Met???
Parents and Coaches check on your student athletes. Some of these guys have dedicated their life to basketball and they have no offers or non that their peers see as significant. We live in a D1 or failed area, so the pressure on these young people have many of them depressed.
I think Northern VA deserved that Hayfield vs Patriot matchup. We all wanted it. In my opinion both teams earned it several times over. Unfortunately March Madness happened and we won’t get it. Now will the Cinderella team Battlefield win it all or will Hayfield finish the job.
We have 2 guys from our 2024 group trying to achieve the greatest accomplishment at the High School Level. Go get that State Championship fellas. College Coaches check in on them and their teammates. They can hoop 🦾🦾🦾

Love how the DMV Colleges are offering the DMV Student Athletes. Let’s keep this going 🦾🦾🦾. The DMV has proven to have the most talent in the country. Don’t be late to the party.
Parking Lot Nick… Great Season young man. At the beginning of the season you told me that you all had a young team and you would need to step up as a leader. 26-1 means you did exactly that. The best record in Patriot HS History. Proud of you 🦾
@NickMarrero27
What a great final AAU season for the fellas. All of these guys will be playing at the next level. I’m so excited to see where their journey takes them. We appreciate
@RiseCircuit
and

for giving them the best exposure possible. Hoss isn’t pictured.

Brandon Edozie - 6’5” - 2025 - PF is a name you should start getting familiar with. He was an impact player on his HS Varsity Team as a Freshman. He has been an instrumental piece for VA Playmakers 2025 UA Rise Team this spring as well. The kid can move anything in the post.
I’m gonna say it … some of you High School Coaches need to resign. You don’t really care to coach these kids and help these kids get to the next level. I’ve watched a kid that is just better in every aspect of the game sit and you play a baseball kid who can barely dribble. 🥴
The HS Transfer Portal will be hopping this week. Too many kids have been promised things by adults that had no intentions on keeping those promises. We tell these kids to stay in situations and fight through adversity but the premise of them coming to that school was a lie.
@Courtneyd_3
you already know how proud I am of you. You have been the defensive player of the year and the best rebounding guard all year for PWC and probably in the state. You have been the difference maker that has helped Patriot HS get to 26-1. Head Up 🦾. Great Season 👏🏽
Lots of talented young athletes woke up as free agents with no team to go to. I had 3 parents reach out last night. I will have more reach out in the coming weeks. I don’t have room. I can only rock with the guys who showed up for my tryouts. I unfortunately can’t be your plan B
I woke up disappointed in the politics involved in sports. I tried to go to sleep and forget.Woke up disappointed. We tell these kids to do the right thing. We tell them to stay and work through adversity. Some of you coaches have poor character. I wish it was an Award for that.
2024 UA Rise ( Amarion, Patrick, Dezmond, Mekhi, and TJ ) missing Julián. We have two more tournaments left in July. Catch these fellas
@TheHoopGroup
the next two weekends to finish out their last two tournaments.

Playmakers 2023 is ready to rock this spring summer 🦾🦾🦾. Some of our guys already hold Division 1 and Division 2 offers. We have players that fit your program. Hit us up 👍🏽.
Coach Corey has coached these two guys since they were young pups and they have definitely been difference makers for
@ForestParkBBall
… they in the state tourney and we are definitely cheering for them. Go get it done fellas 🦾🦾🦾.
17u hands down is the most exciting team to watch. They play team ball. They are workers, disciplined, and well coached. Every last kid will earn a scholarship this spring summer. Get your 👀 on them! They have some guys that can HOOP!!!
The win over a 3SSB Team
Khaleel Abdullah has been turning a lot of heads at his
@FlintHillHoops
workouts. He recently went on an unofficial visit to NSU. He is headed to Radford next week. Khaleel already holds 2 offers. We are proud of you Khaleel 🦾 Let’s go get what God has for you.
#playmakers
Another DMV Kid staying in the DMV. College Coaches I hope your recruiting the DMV area if you want to win. To balance that … recruiting kids you can actually get. Some of y’all are recruiting 5 ⭐️ when you should be recruiting a 3⭐️. That DMV 3⭐️ can help you win too.
College Coaches … as HS Playoffs are upon us please get your eyes on Kaden Bates. The kid has been consistent this entire season. He can help your program. He covers multiple stat lines and the young man can defend. Hit up
@CoachSherm5

… thank me later 🦾🦾🦾
Cameron Cole - PG - 2023
Cameron is averaging 16ppg/4 ast/4 rebounds/2 steals this spring playing D1/D2 Competition on the UA Rise Circuit and Hoop Group Jam Fest Tournaments. He has had some dominant games scoring over 20 plus points. He is an exceptional defender as well.
I should have more coaches calling me about my 2024 guys. Everyone in the DMV know who they are, their talent level, and what they’ve accomplished. I don’t know of any non sponsored team in the country that has played and won against sponsored teams more than them. All Facts 😤
Great Season
@jaden_frazier0
…young man won the Hammer Award (Outstanding Player Award) given by his school multiple times this season. College Coaches add him to your 2023 list. You will see him on the UA Rise Circuit this Spring/Summer.
Julián RIvera had himself a weekend. He is a 4.0 GPA Student with high energy. He avg over 20 ppg, 5 rebounds, 4 assist, and 2 steals. He does everything to help his teammates win. He has certainly got the Ivy leagues attention this weekend. Ju is a winner on and off the court🦾
5’11” Southpaw Dezmond Hopkins was Dezmond Hopkins … a certified bucket this past week on the
@risecircuit
@uanextboyshoops
. He is posting these numbers against athletes who hold Division 1 offers. Dezmond will be in VA Beach July 20-24. Interest is rising 👀.
@dezmondhopkins3
Courtney Davis - 6’2” - CG - 2022
Court is one of the best on ball defenders in the state. Most think that is his greatest strength, but rebounding as a guard is his best strength to me. This kid deserves an opportunity to play at the next level. Reach out for more information
What we all wanted to see last year will happen this year. This is gonna be EPIC🦾🦾🦾. College Coaches Tap In … its some guys on both squads that y’all need to be talking to right now.
Another young man from the 2024 Mob off the board. We are super proud of TJ Bethea and wish him much success at the next level. CNU Basketball have a winner on and off the court. 🦾🦾🦾❤️🖤 4 Down 4 to go!
VA Playmakers 16u …session 1 on UAA. Some of the best talent in the DMV. Come see what the buzz is about with this talented group at session 2 in Kansas City.
Dezmond Hopkins is continuing where he left off. The young man is a flat out bucket. He is definitely Top 5 regardless of grade in VA at scoring the ball. College Coaches love him…I wouldn’t want to be late at offering this young man an opportunity.
@dezmondhopkins3
Signing Day for our guy Luke. He had a double double to go along with it. I’m so proud of you Luke. Keep Going 🦾🦾🦾 Frostburg State is gonna be excited to have you.
Anyone who has seen him says the same thing. You can describe him in a lot of ways but every single person who comes up to me says
#3
is a bucket. They face guard my guy every game and he still gives them buckets. I call him the Box and 1 bucket 🤣😂🤣🙃
@dezmondhopkins3
Cameron Cole has Coaches coming to the court to check him out as of late. After recently receiving an offer from Navy this D1 Guard has more Colleges inquiring about him this weekend.
@TheHoopGroup
@cam_cole
It was a Dawg loose yesterday. He shut down a student athlete from Grassroots NC with Division 1 offers to secure the win for Playmakers. Coaches He is ready to help your team win now.
@Courtneyd_3
come see him
He defends! He wins the 50/50 balls! He rebounds! He attacks! He can shoot the 3 ball! He is coachable! He is
@jaden_frazier0
What more do you want to see from him? He is the wing you need. 🦾🦾🦾
Coaches I need to find a home for one of the best shooters in VA. Nick is 6’2” and can shoot the ball with range. Hit me up so we can talk about this young man. Everyone needs a shooter 🦾🦾🦾
College Coaches give me a call about Trey Nelson - PG - this kid Basketball IQ is off the charts. Great Decision Maker who gets his teammates involved but capable of scoring at all levels.
6’5” Terrence Bethea had some productive stats this past week on the
@risecircuit
@uanextboyshoops
in Atlanta. TJ will be in PA this weekend picking up where he left off
@TheHoopGroup
Mid Atlantic Jam Fest
Tyler Sprague is the guard you need. This young man is efficient from the field. He hit big shot after big shot. He picks up 94’ while scoring the ball. He is a very coachable kid with a team first mentality. This young man can flat out hoop. Difference Maker
@TylerSprague12_
This young man was huge for us vs Team Melo. Over 15 boards and shut down paint points. He is a big guard who can guard 1-5. He him but you gonna see
@mekhi_dillard

Alex McFarlane has had him an incredible spring summer. Alex has great size, poise, and pace for a pg. Alex is a mismatch for his position due to his size. He can score at all 3 levels. He is a great defender and solid rebounder. He has caught the eye of a few D1 coaches. 🦾🦾🦾
To the 2023 guys and gals who are panicking … stop 🛑. If your putting in the work, God got you. 🦾 Your season is different from their season. It’s coming … just keep grinding. 🙏🏽
Trey Nelson - 6’0” - PG -2022
Trey holds an offer from the University of Mount Olive. Trey is a pg who can facilitate and score. He is currently

I have a 2022 guard that’s looking for a home. He is a defensive minded guard who rebounds very well. He can score the ball as well. He is now looking for a home due to a coaching change. If you don’t have a full roster I would like to get him to a workout. 🙏🏽
Khaleel Abdullah is a true pg. He can play various styles; penetrate and kick, transition, half court, etc. Leel is known for his defensive prowess and his rebounding ability as a PG. He avg at least 2/3 charges a game. He plays all out and with tons of energy. He is a worker🦾
The BIGGEST player on the court was the SMALLEST player on the floor who just lead his team to an ELITE 8 berth with…
20pts 19ast 3rbs 5stls!
NEVER LET THESE RANKINGS AND SCOUTS PUT THEIR LIMITS ON YOU!
#heartoverhype
Darrel Johnson - 6’6” - Wingman had him a double double kind of weekend. DJ is an explosive athlete with a great mid range. I look forward to session 2 with this young man.
Jaden Frazier had a great week down in VA Beach
@TheHoopGroup
Grassroots Finale. Jaden was shooting lights out but also attacking the basket and rebounding the basketball. Coaches he is a worker that does whatever it takes to help the team win.
@jaden_frazier0
Jaden stock 📈
Hayfield vs Patriot did not disappoint. Two key players fouled out for Patriot with about 2 minutes and some change left… but hats off to
#5
for Hayfield. I think his name Donnie Briscoe … that boy called game … 2 big buckets at the end. 🦾🦾🦾. Good Luck to both teams.
Playmakers 17u has been committed to working on the details to prepare them for this spring and summer. Skilled group of guys working on fundamentals and absorbing what’s being taught. Their energy is always up! They are committed! They are consistent!
I would like to thank
@RiseCircuit
and
@UANextBHoops
for having us this year. Great Competition, Great Atmosphere, and great opportunity. My 2023 guys had 20 plus coaches at most of the games they played. Appreciate you all putting together such a great week.
Another one off the board. I am so proud of this young man. If write your own story had a face … his would be it. Worker Mentality!!
