Try not to get caught up on level… I’ve seen D1 recruits not see the floor at NAIA level. I’ve seen D2 players without a D1 offer coming out of HS end up at D1 programs. There isn’t a perfect science to recruiting.🏀🤔🏀🏀🎥

Had great question asked yesterday… “How do you evaluate talent while recruiting?” For me it’s simple depending on level. Are you a 3 level scorer? Can you finish at rim? Can you shoot the 3?(35%and higher) Can you create your own shot/shoot the midrange? Need at least 2/3🏀🏀

Level is important, but fit matters most. Listen to coaches recruiting. Do they tell you what’s lacking or how/who will help improve your game? Can they tell you where and when you fit in their offense? You find right Fit, u will reach the level u want.

A nice round before a family weekend!

It’s easy to evaluate talent after all the experts weigh in…. But can you find that diamond in the rough?

What a difference 1 year made for my guy @coachmike1997 from 10 PPG to 19PPG, and 37% to 41% from 3! Now coaching at Lynn University!! Ask my guys about his 250-400 shot workouts. Still one of the hardest workers I’ve ever coached.

Some of the best players I’ve coached were players with Life experiences. They had confidence yet were humble, they were intelligent yet coachable, and most importantly knew when to enjoy life and when to work! CAN’T COACH MOTOR.@coachmike1997, @_JPalmer23 , @branb_10 @Marko4KU

It’s been my experience, after an individual hour workout guys start losing focus. This is when we give them a goal-make 250 3’s. Reps can be done anywhere, make your floor time worth it this summer. If you need drills, don’t hesitate to ask a Coach.

A lot of camps out there this spring and summer! Get out there, be scene, and make connections.🏀🏆🏀📹🤓

HS guys looking to play shooting guards at next level… After a good workout try 5 spots 7/10 midrange 5 spots 7/10 from 3! If you can’t make 70% from both, you maybe a Shooter, but in some coaches 👀 you aren’t a Shot maker! What’s more important to you? 🤔🏀🤔

Great coaches ask players about their “Why”? “Why do you play the game of basketball? “ I believe the Great ones understand what drives their players, and then they Teach the “Why”. Teachers make the best coaches!🏀 Happy 🐣 Easter
