This thread literally tells you everything you need to know about how people think on Twitter. If you owe taxes on your house the bank will take it, and resell it for profit lol NOBODY HAS A PROBLEM WITH THAT. But if a regular person does it then he a bad person? 🤦🏽♂️

ORU coach said he gives his players 6 weeks to make 20,000 shots and one of his players did it in 6 days lol MAKE 20k SHOTS IN 6 DAYS!!! Are you a shooter or not? Cause it’s some stuff you have to do when nobody is looking to be a shooter.

I really don’t want to be the coach that ruins basketball for you. But if you don’t like working on your game and practicing I’m not the coach for you.

Holding the ball in a high school game is crazy to me. Most of them kids won’t play basketball past high school so this is the end for them, and they practice all week for you to hold the ball for 5 minutes to win? Nah , I can’t get with it and I love to win too, not that way lol

Going from senior star basketball player in high school to freshman role player is hard for somebody that hasn’t gotten over they self yet. Get in the gym, this game loves NOBODY , but it favors those who really do the work. #TTW

When a AAU coach keep telling you how many kids “he sent D1” run lol 9/10 most of those kids was going D1 no matter who they played for ,all he did was drive him to the tournament WHERE THE D1 coaches was at lol ask him about the NAIA and juco coaches he know lol

You was on Twitter begging for a coach to take a chance on you last summer. Out of all the colleges in the world only ONE coach gave you a chance. Now after one semester you transferring on the only coach that gave you a opportunity? That don’t make any sense to me lol.

Basketball can bring people from different backgrounds, from different states, and different countries together. I love that part of it. You can go from complete strangers to family because of a round ball.

I’m not against transferring but I never understood transferring after your freshman year just cause you didn’t play. After being in the program a year and learning the defense surely you should be in a better position year two, right? What’s your thoughts about this?

I know going D1 is the goal for most basketball players and juco can help you get there if your talent is of that for a D1 school to invest in you. Don’t think the world is over because no D1’s are calling now, just put your head down and get to work. It’s a marathon...

Y’all be lying to these kids so much I see why they act the way they act. Everybody not a full scholarship player, everybody don’t get a shoe box full of offers and get to pick a hat on signing day. Some people get one offer and have to rock with it. Stop lying to kids PLEASE.

Two different type of full scholarships:
Full scholarship = school pays for EVERYTHING and you get your full pell grant back. $7,395
Full scholarship= school packages scholarship money with your pell grant so you don’t have to pay for anything.

My PG went D2 and my SG went D1 so you can stop telling your unsigned seniors they have to go other places to get recruited. You can get recruited here if you can hoop. Players work hard on the court I work hard to help get them recruited. 🤷🏾♂️ #TTW

Kid road the Greyhound bus to a juco event to perform in front of coaches and give his self a chance to get recruited? That’s a kid that clearly wants it. A lot of kids not willing to do stuff like that. Sometimes you have to go to the extreme to get noticed.

One of the key things I’m looking for when recruiting this year is if the kid even likes to play basketball. I know that sounds strange but it’s real lol I always feel like if you have to be forced to workout or come in the gym early you really don’t like playing basketball…

All I want for Christmas is for people to stop sending me players that they THINK are are “juco kids” because they got bad grades. 🤦🏽♂️ send me the kids with good grades lol I don’t want to beg a player to do his work or go to class all year, that’s stressful.

Before you up and transfer on a coaching staff that believed in you ask your self what can you do better to put you in a better position to be successful. I’m not against transferring but some players be running from the truth.

A lot of high school kids enter college with fake confidence. When they was the best player on they high school team they had all the confidence in the world. When they get to college and now they they 10th best player in the gym the confidence is gone. How do they get it back?

I connected a kid with a D2 yesterday. It wasn’t even hard, just found the D2 schools in his state & sent them the kids film. Coach said he liked him and wanted him to come on a unofficial visit, probably to see him hoop against his team. Kid has to go in there and show his self.

If you in the class of 2021 and looking for your first offered drop you film below. Coaches starting to ask for players. All I’m doing is retweeting film. The more eyes that see you the more opportunities will come.

It’s not weird to y’all when AAU coaches or high school coaches don’t want they players talking to college coaches they self? Or they don’t want another coach telling colleges about they player? Or they hog they film and don’t give it to the player? That stuff is just weird to me

Almost every juco transfer I’m recruiting is ineligible. Reminder you need 24 credit hours with a 2.0 to be eligible as a sophomore. 24 credit hours is the bare minimum. A lot of summer schools have second sessions in June. Still time to get them grades up.
