This E1T1 super team that Im watching in Vegas at FAB 48 with the mixture of NTF players is absolutely ridiculous. Unreal combination of players out of FL!
My deepest sympathies go out to Shakey Rodriguez's family and everyone who's life was touched by this amazing guy.
Terribly shocking to hear this deeply saddening news. Shakey was a lion in our community.
I believe our Hoop Exchange Live Invitational is the most talented showcase roster we've ever had....I'm excited to watch!

Congrats to CJ Walker (2019, Oak Ridge HS/E1T1) on his commitment to Oregon!
@Cjwalker_14
A ridiculous athlete with a good perimeter skill set at 6'9 who makes plays all over the floor. He has worked hard over the last few years and will have a tremendous career.
Ive been moved to tears and not just once over the last week watching the protests and hearing people voice concerns, opinions and solutions.
The solidarity across the country for Black Lives Matter including in small rural towns has been a beautiful thing to witness!
Brendan hired me to come watch a juco game tonight Miami Dade vs Indian River
I haven't seen the box score yet, but 6'3 Antrell Charlton easily has a triple double with 42 assists (thats a guess but I'm sure I'm close)
Congrats to West Oaks Academy's Jadrian Tracey (2020, 6'6 G, Breakdown) on his commitment to St Joe's
