not into recruits who are just trying to stack offers and hasn’t shown that they are interested in the program. If you can’t do something as simple as apply to the school then you aren’t my guy. Offers get sent and pulled everyday. should be grateful schools are interested

Couldn’t tell you how many guys did that to me just to be in my inbox now that I’m at a D2. Most of these kids want to be a pro but don’t know the first thing about professionalism. Don’t burn bridges. You can say I appreciate it coach I’m really interested elsewhere.
Relationships with Coaches matter that D3 Coach your ignoring could be a D1 assistant or a D2 assistant soon. Be careful who you brush off or make a bad impression on. Coaches know other Coaches💯

Building genuine relationships with recruits is the key. Every program needs a 12-15 man roster. Are you really wanted, are you really valued, Do they have a legit vision for you? Don’t be afraid to take a leap of faith on what’s real. #BetOnYourself #GetOutYourComfortZone

There has to be a level of Grace when coaching college basketball as a Christian leader. Most of the kids don’t know who God is. As a Christian leader we are the closes thing to God that they may ever know. Can’t cut bait without thinking Christlike. Christ over program 🤷🏽♂️

@logan_hockaday this will forever mean more than any game that I’ve won or that I will ever win is watching one of my players that have already made the decision to live for Christ privately but to publicly declare that they will live for Jesus brings Joy to my heart

Championship mentality is the message I’ve been preaching to the program since day 1. Have to have everybody bought in to one Goal which is the team Goal not the selfish Goal.

I talk about the importance of these things often. Just need a group to buy in to a goal that’s bigger than self.
This man DJ Burns just said their entire
season turned around when everyone:
1) bought in
2) started showing up on time
3) stopped causing distractions on/off court

Just because you can jump doesn’t mean you are good at basketball. Yes being athletic helps but every college have athletes Can you do the fundamentals, can you make reads, IQ, are you able to follow a scout, do you watch film, basketball is much more than being a high jumper
