Went to a college practice this morning. 📝 I have 3 takeaways 🏎 Pace - Coaches teach things once. If you aren't paying attention you are in trouble. 📢Communication - Everyone talks. All the time. 🧠Decision Making - Making the right play is a premium skill.

Playing college basketball is very difficult. About 3.5% of HS Players will play in college. Here are 6 quotes from Current College Coaches to help you become one of the 3.5%. 🧵⬇️

What is the biggest misconception about playing college basketball? I asked 6 players ranging from Division 1 to NAIA for their answers. 🧵⬇️

🤨 “What is 1 thing that will make you 🛑 STOP recruiting a player at the TABC Showcase?” ❓I asked 5 coaches from different levels this exact question. Answers Below 👇 👎 Loser Qualities “Too much dribbling. Not going hard. Poor body language and negative interactions with your teammates and coaches.” - Division 1 🚩 Careless “When players are careless with the basketball, there are some turnovers that are out of a good idea or being aggressive, but consistent turnovers and careless play are a big red flag to us.” - Division 2 🤷 Bad Body Language “Negative body language will cause us to stop recruiting players at TABC. Everyone plays poorly sometimes, but your body language has to stay strong all the time.” - Division 3 🤩 Spotlighters “We aren’t looking for guys that are about themselves. On average you only have the ball in your hands for 2 minutes, if scoring is all you care about that then that is something that doesn’t translate to an everyday guy at the collegiate level for winning programs.” - JUCO 🪖 Not Going Hard “Guys who don’t play hard. Playing hard is a given at the college level. If you take plays off, that’s the quickest way to get cut from our list.” - NAIA

Offers are hard to come by. Most players will never receive one. Here are 6 Quotes from college coaches that will move you one step closer to being offered. 🧵⬇️

I asked 5 college coaches what they wanted in a point guard. The 5 most common phrases in those responses: • Toughness • Leadership & Communication • High IQ • Versatility • Winning Mentality #RecruitingSimplified

For most, recruiting Is an extremely LONG process. My guys who didn't get offered this weekend, just work. Get off this app If It's consuming you. Sometimes things don't break your way. How you respond to It matters.

Most freshman can’t get on the court in college. Here are 6 quotes you can use to expedite your college playing time and dominate on the court in HS. 🧵⬇️

🔎 Recruiting Simplified "Let's use basketball as a vehicle to move you forward" ❓Ever wonder why I am always talking about your grades? 4.0 = 94% of Colleges you can get into 3.0 = 51% of Colleges you can get into 2.8 = 8% of Colleges you can get into Full Breakdown👇

Incredible weekend. Genuinely wish I could’ve seen every player. Thankful for this team👇 | #GASO

Self-awareness and execution. “If you’re a shooter, make shots. If you’re a defender, lock up. If you’re a playmaker, get paint touches. If you’re a rebounder, create extra possessions. Be relentless in whoever you truly are. Not who you want to be.” -Division 1 Coach

TABC Dudes‼️

Things that DON'T need to be in your highlights. • Free Throws. • Cussing (music). • Intro's (they should already know who they are watching). • Space between plays. • Average Plays. • Things that don't translate (wide open 3's) To name a few. #RecrutingSimplified

I spent a lot of time with college coaches the last few weeks. I asked them, “What’s the most translatable skill from HS to college?” Their Answers🧵⬇️.

I asked 5 college coaches what they wanted in a point guard. The 5 most common phrases in those responses: • Toughness • Leadership & Communication • High IQ • Versatility • Winning Mentality #RecruitingSimplified

‼️ 3 Hard Truths High School Players Need to Understand Before They Step on a College Campus to Play Basketball. "Why would I recruit a high schooler, if I can recruit a guy who already knows what it's like to be a college basketball player?" -Anonymous College Coach ⏰ Time Management The day you step on campus you will be ruled by a schedule. • School - Class // Homework // Studying • Basketball - Workouts // Lifts // Film • Social - Friends // Family It is your job to allot enough time for each activity. If you don't you are going to be behind in something... 🏎️ Urgency in Everything "Urgency is a Combination of Focus and Execution" I was at a college practice recently, and the coach taught the starters a set play. An hour later, he asked the backups to execute it. Ask yourself, am I that locked in at practice? 🗣️ You're Replaceable If you aren't getting better, you are getting passed. You aren't just competing with your class anymore, you are competing with three classes above you and three classes below you. With the portal readily available to college coaches, they can move on from you, just like you can move on from them.

I guess I’ll say it. Since no one else will. Most 2026s are not going to be contacted for a while. It’s okay. Just work and get better.

Being "unnoticed" can be an advantage. It's okay to have people counting you out. You need one to believe in you. #RecruitingSimplified

Half Athletic Scholarship + Half Academic Scholarship still equals a full scholarship. #RecruitingSimplified

Get in the Gym + Get in the Weight Room = Offseason Plans #RecruitingSimplified

If a coach follows you, THAT'S INTEREST. Now engage. #RecruitingSimplified

How are you contagious? “Everything is contagious. Attitude is contagious. Physicality is contagious. Making shots is contagious. What are you personally spreading to your team that’s making a positive (or negative) impact?” -Division 2 Coach

All you need is ONE school to believe. #RecruitingSimplified

There are millions of free basketball resources on twitter. Just because they’re available doesn’t mean they’re helpful. Here are 6 that are worth your time. 🧵⬇️

Are you consistent? “I really look for guys who play hard and are vocal throughout the day, especially with the multiple games in a day, can they bring the same level of effort consistently?” -Division 3 Coach

🤯 99% of players won't use it, but that's your gain. 📧 Saw an email from a player to a college coach this weekend. 👎 It wasn't great. 🧠 So #GASO collaborated with college coaches to make this template. ➕ Other things that you could add: • Shooting Splits (FG% | 3Pt% | FT%) • Full Game Films • HS Coaches Name & Number

3 Factors College Coaches consider when recruiting players. • Controllables • Skills • Genetics Let’s break them down. -- Controllables Controllables are things that are in your complete control on and off the court. • Grades • Playing Hard • Attitude • Relationships with team/coach • Response to Adversity • Toughness • Weight Room • Execution -- Skills Skills are the things you excel at on the court and can continue to improve upon. Prioritize the right ones. • Shooting • Dribbling • Passing • Basketball IQ -- Genetics Genetics is what you were physically born with. • Height • Length • Athleticism • Speed Unfortunately, this part isn’t fair. So find a way to maximize your Controllables and Skills to give yourself the best chance possible. -- If you like this post then you’ll love the in-depth info I share on the 🔎 Recruiting Simplified Newsletter. 🎁 Grab your free Basketball Recruiting Checklist and read the latest issue when you subscribe. recruiting-simplified.ck.pag…

Productivity, winning and fit matter. “Figuring out which guys have the the best motor and productivity towards winning in relation to what your program needs is critical… As much or more so than just the physicality, size or athleticism eye test” -Division 1 Coach

It’s not just talent that separates. “Finding the best players is not the hard part, there are a lot of talented players out there. It’s trying to find the ones who truly want to be great and do whatever it takes to help the program win.” -JUCO Coach

📢 Attention Players! Put your 📚 GPA in your Twitter Bio. I am going to start adding them to every player tweet that I post.

🏀 I’ve taken in a lot of Hoops over the past few weeks… 📝 Here are 10 things that stood out to me in my watching. • 🧠 Just because a play is run for you doesn’t mean you HAVE to shoot it. • Do these 4️⃣ things and you won’t lose (although easier said than done) - Win the Rebounding Battle - Win the Turnover Battle - Win the Paint Touch Battle - Win the Shot Selection Battle • 🪡 Skill level is at an all time high. • ✌️ Rebounding with 2️⃣ hands is a game-changer. • 🔪 Slot Cutting off of a baseline drive remains one of the toughest things to guard in basketball. • ⚡️ Speed is the most underrated ELITE skill. • 🥠 Luck lies within the one who plays hardest… • 🏋️ The weight room matters. • 📢 Body language speaks loudly. • ✅ The New 5 Foul Rule per Quarter is a success! It benefits the aggressive and good free throw shooting teams.

All you need is one college program to believe in you. #RecruitingSimplified

Clean up your Social Media. “Social media is huge for me, being easy to find, using your name for the profile and handle. Having as much information in the bio as possible.” -NAIA Coach

I talked to a player yesterday. He has sent 100 emails. 5 College Programs have responded. Doesn't sound like a lot. But. When you reach out to 600 and 30 respond... Now we are cooking. It's a numbers game. Don't be discouraged. Reach Out. #RecruitingSimplified

The EVOLUTION year over year of these players is absolutely incredible. Real work behind the scenes. Texas is a special place to be right now.

#GASOFallTour // Houston ☀️Afternoon 💭 Thoughts • Koye Rondeno (2024 - @KCainHoops) smooth guard with instincts that has a nice jump shot. • Christian Thomas (2025 - @KingHoopers) has every tool you could ever want physically. Inside out versatility. • Anson Johnson (2024 - Texas City) has a lot to like. Very active and scored in the interior. • 📸 Nate Law (2024 - @STE_Saints) is a crafty scorer. Created space off the bounce and made his usual noise in transition. • 📸 Christian Brown (2027 - @ClearBrookHoops) is a speedy guard who dictates the tempo. Fun to watch. • Jaymes Brown-Peterson (2024 - @BoysKilleen) is a dynamic wing whose athleticism pops. • Bryant Ajiero (2024 - @ElkinsHoops) Strong interior player, alters tons of shots and dominates the glass. • Royal Mayfield (2025 - @cysprings_hoops) made a lot of plays, he does a little bit of everything and plays with a motor. • 📸 Mike Collins (2025 - @SCSharkBball) is such a winner. Love the relentless nature he brings to a team. Can’t miss kid. • LeOno Rolle (2024 - @MbbTitans) made an impression with his productivity at the rim not to mention the length and athleticism are something serious. • Isaiah Santos (2027 - @7LSpartanHoops) is a highly productive freshman. Plays inside and out and has a high motor.

"If I recruit a guard who can't shoot, I have to recruit a big who can shoot." -D2 Coach Another Translation: I want to recruit shooters. #RecruitingSimplified

When you claim to be a "Point Guard," you are setting an expectation of who you are in your highlights. The plays in your highlights should match the position you claim to be. Way too many players miss this. #RecruitingSimplified

“Sometimes you like a kid, and you start looking around in the stands to figure out who their parent is. It can be good, or it can be alarming…” - D3 Coach

Be Self-Aware. “If you’re a shooter, make shots. If you’re a defender, lock up. If you’re a playmaker, get paint touches. If you’re a rebounder, create extra possessions. Be relentless in whoever you truly are. Not who you want to be.” -D1 Coach #RecruitingSimplified

Natural abilities only take you so far. “That talent and ability are the most important aspects. If you don’t work to develop the mental side of your game and master plays, concepts, and coverages, you won’t be trusted to play.” -Division 2 Player

6A State Championship | @uiltexas 📊 Numbers Dive via @CerebroSports ⭐️ Star Studded @MrAletan (2023) was an absolute monster last weekend at state, and his rim protection performance was obviously one of legend (7 Blocks - 6A State Record), but it was another stat of his that caught my eye. Samson had a 1.47 Point Per Possession, which is how many points you scored relative to how many times you had the ball. This means it was very likely that Lake Highlands scored a bucket every time Samson touched the ball. The pressure he put on BU with his activity around the rim and his rim-running ability cannot be overstated and might have had the biggest impact on why @LHWildcatHoops holds the 6A Trophy.
