I’m gonna have to call a couple trainers directly. Some of our players are going to you & they can’t properly execute catch & shoot or catch, shot fake & dribble (w/out traveling). They do have the 9 dribble combo down. Like it’s elite. Super elite. Too bad we not the Rockets 🤦🏽♂️

Any HS coach in Georgia that doesn’t want a shot clock should quit (retire). The game has passed you. It actually passed you like 5-7 years ago...but now you’re definitely done. And it’s ok. You had a great run.

When college basketball gets back to 18-22 yr olds let me know. I’m talking to coaches and they telling me they’re taking guys who can’t be on their parents insurance anymore. Mainly cause they need to win right now. Hard out here for HS & post grad kids lol.

For those asking, Isaiah Collier sat 5 mins in the 3rd & 4th quarters in our game vs Sierra Canyon b/c he was nauseous…he’d been battling some kinda stomach bug the whole game. I think we’re a smart enough staff to play the best PG in the country during crunch time 🤷🏽♂️😂

I’m 100% certain I never want to coach a player or be part of a coaching staff that thinks it’s ok for a players individual stats to be posted & celebrated in a loss. It’s goofy & part of the reason why winning isn’t valued…your stats don’t matter, you lost.

This is when I get confused about recruiting: KEY contributor on 6A team ranked top 10 all year, team cap., 3.8GPA, 0 character iss., must be kicked out of the gym to go home, wants to play defense 1st, super high motor, can dribble/shoot, played Adidas Gauntlet, 0 offers 👀🤦🏽♂️
DJ Patrick, a 6-5 WF from Marietta (GA) Sprayberry, was one of the top performers from our Senior Showcase. I thought he helped himself quite a bit with his play in front of college coaches. Really impressive shooter with size.
