CJ Wilcher is the most underrated player in ‘20. He’s a True 2. Quick, high release. Crafty but efficient w/dribble and strong frame. Scores at will. Xavier got a gem.
He’s been gravitating towards this his entire life. He has played for, and coached under legends since he was 4 years old. So proud and excited to have a seat on his bench. He works tirelessly in silence and never self-promotes. Dr Giannini’s quotes >>>
Admittedly, I am extremely uncomfortable talking/reading about myself. Truly humbled by Joe's words & Josh's vision. 🏀is the best sport in the world and I hope to continue leveraging it to impact kids lives and developmental pathways on & off court. TY! ❤️

Terrible - those that voted against this are hurting player development, game pace & quality. It exposes weaker coaching, and forces higher levels of defensive awareness. No stall ball, parades to FT line, etc. Big loss today smh.

I had the opportunity to have lunch with a NBA Asst GM today. Biggest takeaway—how you treat people and how you value relationships are a reflection of the type of career you will have!

Bittersweet update — the past few yrs at Neumann-Goretti have been incredible. The relationships I have developed with the staff & players are something I will cherish forever. Coach Carl has been the best mentor I could ask for and I strive to be half the person he is... (1/2)
Congrats to ⭐️ ‘24 PG Robert Wright III on cracking the 1,000 point mark! Rob scored 35 points tonight in our quarterfinal playoff W and only needed 55 games (covid yrs) to eclipse 1K. Special, special player.
‘24 Luke Bevilacqua 6’10 230 working on his stretch 5 skills. Just turned 15 a couple weeks ago. Not many 2006 born players with more upside.

Justin Robinson has a chance man. Could see him sneaking onto sixers next season (and sticking around). Much improved from 3 this yr & a great setup guy.
There should be zero discussion about who the number 1 point guard in the country is anymore. Go watch the Iolani Classic chip game. Robert Wright III is him. Honestly, he is top 5 nationally in ‘24. Go argue with your barber

3 young kids used to work out with me & Fabb @ 7am in the pj’s during the pandemic years. All 3 are signing early, today. St. Joe’s, Hofstra, & Baylor - you have some special dudes pulling onto campus Summer ‘24 ❤️

Checked out Neumann-Goretti (PA)’s open gym tonight. The Saints always have a van load of good guards. Ultimate success will be how well big men newcomers, ’24 C/F 6-10 Luke Bevalaqua and ’23 P/WF 6-8 Sultan Adewalu, transition.

Indebted to the basketball gods for another opportunity to compete at The Palestra. The PCL Final 4 is one of America’s best sporting events IYKYK ⚜️🏀

@TUMBBHoops
for a 1st class team camp experience today! Top of the line facilities & super personable coaching staff that made themselves available all day🦉…My only gripe was the guy working the scorers table. He kept talking to our players —>
@hysier
Coach Dunphy was gracious enough to let me sit in on practice today. Fr wing Tunde Vahlberg Fasasi is a tremendous talent. Moves like a pro. Loved the 3 v 3 small-sided scenarios from the LaSalle staff.
It’s criminal that Diamond Johnson was left out of the McDonalds All American game.

🖤 these dudes. It’s always just been about THE GAME to us. All the rest of this noise doesn’t matter. We seek validation from ourselves, on a daily basis. The Standard. NG on 3, Family on 6 🗣

Dusty Catholic school gyms up & down the I-95 corridor from VA to NYC have been pumping out uber talented players & legendary teams for decades. There’s something about the authenticity of it all >
Happy to share that in a few days, we will be announcing a partnership for Neumann Goretti basketball that will be the first of its kind for a HS program both regionally/nationally (1/2)

The Prep announces the hiring of Jason Harrigan as its new Head Basketball Coach. Harrigan has been a coach for more than a decade, including a very successful tenure at Del Val Charter. He takes over after the retirement of legendary coach Speedy Morris.
Che Evans 6’7 SG, Neumann Goretti. Wish we got to see everything materialize with him. Due to injury, Che didn’t play this season but insisted on suiting up for Senior Day. 7 mins, 4-5 FG, 2-2 3P, 10p 2r 2a. SDSU got a bigtime player! ⚜️ forever. Shooter 🗣

So proud of your journey. You focused on reps & outworked so many in your class these past few yrs. Your ceiling is still far from being reached!

A ton of phone calls this morning from college coaches about ‘22 Masud Stewart (

)…Even had a HM assistant call and say “from what I saw at UAA this weekend, he’s extremely underrecruited.”
