Do high school seniors realize how hard it is to get a scholarship this year? Between Covid eligibility & the transfer portal, everyone wants the older, physically & mentally mature guys who have been through the not being the star anymore stage, home sickness, & sack lunches.

JUCO dudes:
D1 talent doesn’t get you D1 scholarships. You can’t just blend in, you have to produce & stand out. D1 dudes are different. It’s a mindset, it’s a work ethic. Lots of dudes have D1 talent, but can’t live up to the day to day work & grind it takes to make it.

I’m really at a loss for words tonight. I just found out that former NOC Mav Chelvin Webb passed today. Chelvin was one of the hardest working players I’ve ever coached. He was an even better young man. Please keep Chelvin and his family in your prayers. RIH CWebb. 🙏💔😢

Very excited about our upcoming 2023-24 season. We recently had a scholarship open up. We have an opportunity for a legit D1 level player. Must like school, be a team player and be a good dude off the court. DM’s are open. Looking for right fit for the program.

PSA: Every roster on a college program is going to be full. If you are a first time freshman, you will need to realize that you are going to have to come in and compete no matter how good you believe you are. There are never any guarantees, especially if you feel yourself.

Too many kids are so eager or willing to quit when things get tough, don't go their way or when a little adversity sets in. Life isn't easy, or fair. Embrace the struggles, learn from it, and get better. Enjoy the positive, learn from the negative. #SuccessIsAChoice

JUCO is bad for an AAU programs brand? Maybe they should come watch a Jayhawk Conference game. We had guys sign to the ACC and Missouri Valley this year. Our league has sent out countless D1 guys. To me JUCO helps build your brand. More qualifiers than ever committing JUCO.

New basketball recruiting height policy: The two inch rule
6’9 is the new 6’7
6’7 is the new 6’5
6’5 is the new 6’3
6’0 is the new 5’10
Instead of being bumped up one inch, we just need to assume it’s bumped up two inches. 🤷♂️

Special shout-out to @mberry_11 for being a dad & student-athlete. It’s not easy doing either one. This young man has beaten the odds and made it work while being great at both! From wanting to quit as a freshman to cutting nets down as a sophomore. Even better things to come!
