A college coach just text me this: “You ever seen so many kids that don’t respond to college coaches?” This “D1 or Bust” Mentality has: •Made it tougher for Non-D1s to Recruit •Ended many student-athlete’s career prematurely •Kept McDonalds employed with quality workers

A college coach just told me... “The moment I sense a kid thinks he’s too good for our school... Or he feels like he’s doing us a favor, I move on. Those kids you can’t coach as tough as you need to build a GREAT PROGRAM. Those are the kids on the transfer list every year”.

I’ve seen a kid go from not playing at all to starting because he... • Knew all the plays✔️ • Cheered on his teammates from the bench✔️ • Had a positive attitude✔️ • Played hard✔️ Coaches will play the players that’ll help them WIN. You can do that in many ways...

❌JUCO Myths & False Perceptions❌ • Only prospects with bad academics go JUCO • I’m too good for JUCO • JUCO is a LAST RESORT • JUCO isn’t competitive Don’t limit yourself & discredit JUCO opportunities... Often times JUCO produces that DOG and EDGE great teams need...

A nationally ranked NJCAA D2 recently contacted an unsigned Sr without any offers. The player never responded & proceeded to post on Twitter how he was slept on & “just waiting for 1 school to believe in him” Don’t miss a blessing chasing a dream. Everyone’s path is DIFFERENT.

An unsigned senior parent told me today he wishes he would have invested more money in his child’s academics. Compared to obsessing over AAU, showcases, camps & other services. Underclassmen... Don’t let athletics be an excuse to fall behind in the classroom. Priorities...

I love players NOT AFRAID to get “crossed”... I love players NOT AFRAID to get “dunked on”... I love players that want to COMPETE. You can’t give 100% to THE GAME if you’re scared to put yourself in HIGH INTENSE situations. Hop up, move to the NEXT PLAY.

Speaking with a NAIA coach this morning about an Unsigned SR... “I'd like to pull the trigger and have him sign on the spot, but I think he's hoping for a bigger offer. He hasn’t been very responsive. I think I may have to move on.” Don’t miss a blessing waiting on a dream...

PLAYERS: If a coach text you... RESPOND. If you have not heard of the school... GOOGLE THEM. Ignorance spares no one... And once an opportunity is gone, they rarely come back. Don’t sabotage your future!

My advice to all the kids transferring (Not just D1) is to focus on these few things: •Relationship w/ the coaching staff •Graduation Rate •Minimizing Debt •Opportunity to play I recommend not obsessing over “level”. You want to find a home & not be on the list next year.

I’ve seen... •A MM D1 player transfer to a D2 & avg. less than 8mins per game. Graduate & become an accountant. •HS kid go to a NAIA. Start 3yrs. Graduate. Play overseas $3,000Mo. •HS kid go D3. Start 4yrs. Graduate. Turn down 2 overseas contracts to start a business. 🙏🏽

I’ve seen prospects: Pass on NAIA offers to end up bagging groceries at Wal-Mart 2 months later. Bad mouth JUCO, but end up at one because they didn’t qualify. Get a D1 Offer in June. Take it. Sit the bench for 2 years. Then transfer to the D2 they were “better than”. #Humble

High school prospects need to be streaming D2, NAIA & D3 games. Many streams are free to the public... We all love to watch D1 games on TV... If you’re serious about playing collegiate ball, stream these games and educate yourself on the talent of these levels.

Recruiting Tip✍🏼 •95% of initial recruiting is done behind a computer. •Having up to date film on HUDL, Krossover or YouTube is very important. •College coaches can’t be in every gym recruiting. It starts online. Have an updated film no older than 4-6 months online.

Recruiting Tip✍🏽 Clean up your social media and understand your Twitter & Facebook accounts are online resumes for college coaches to look into. Always represent yourself to the highest standard, professionally. Coaches want high character student-athletes in their program.

Many don’t realize how competitive it is to get a basketball scholarship. Especially for high school kids in this era of basketball. You’re competing against other HS, prep, JUCO & transfers for same select few spots. This attitude of entitlement is only hurting the player.

Confidence isn’t: “They will like me” Confidence is: “I’ll be fine if they don’t” Stop searching for approval of others and co-signs. Never be afraid to stand on your own two.

I know a kid that had 3 offers (2 of them were full rides) a month ago... Now he doesn’t have any. There’s a different between “weighing your options” and waiting for a “bigger offer” to come. Adults, let’s make sure we are giving these student-athletes good advice.

Be happy to see someone else winning... Be happy to see someone else’s sacrifice is being rewarded... Be happy to see someone reach their goals... Support & cheer on the next person as you would want them to do you. But more importantly, it’s the right thing to do.

150
You want to play at the next level? Players... have you ever seen a LM D1 D2, D3, NAIA, or a JUCO game? Most teams stream their games online in this era of collegiate 🏀 There is no excuse not to watch. Many streams are FREE. See the talent level & ability of all levels!

A hear so many complain about JUCO. It’s an OPPORTUNITY to get you where you want to go. You aren’t there for the elegant dorms & beautiful campus scenery. JUCO will provide the platform. What you choose to do with it, is on you. Leave the entitlement at the door.

Spoke to a D2 coach this morning. Told me they are DONE with their 2019 Class. Recruiting is not about being the most talented prospect. It is a HEAD COUNT SPORT. 1st come, 1st serve. Connect W/ people that can really help you. Everything else is just wasted time & “talk”

This country is hurting. I want to stay off my phone because seeing inhumane acts are now a norm. But I have to stay informed. This video reminds us all that RACISM IS TAUGHT. Be responsible & change what you are putting in this world.

143
If I’m a college coach and I see: • 1 of my players walk pass a teammate on the ground... • A potential recruit walk pass a teammate on the ground... - I can’t play you/I won’t recruit you. That’s not the culture I’m trying to build. Be the teammate you’d like to have.

PLEASE READ: An AAU Coach posted this... A conversation with one of his kids... I’ll leave this here and hope we all learn something from this. No further dialogue. Sometimes less is more.

Players think: “I’m good enough to play there” Coaches think: “Is he good enough to help me win” These are two separate conversations. Remember, this is how coaches provide for their families. No one wants to be unemployed.

If a coach asks you to Redshirt, it’s NOT a negative thing: For many it is needed to prepare academically & athletically. - Long-term value over short term satisfaction - Develop your game & hit the weight room - Get ahead in the classroom - Get comfortable with college life

It’s August 4th I was just informed a student-athlete, w/ no offers, was just offered a FULL RIDE to a NAIA D2. “Thanks for your help Coach but we are not going to pursue. His 1st question was about playing time and said his goal was to play D1”. We all have priorities I guess

Never question who God removed from your life. He heard their conversations when you weren’t around.

Work in silence & your results will speak volumes. Too many of us want to broadcast everything and expect a pat on the back every step of the way. Be disciplined and stay the course.

Recruiting Tip✍🏽 DON’T CHASE: - “Don’t Chase” AAU teams for the name - “Don’t Chase” college coaches/programs that aren’t showing genuine interest (you’ll know) - “Don’t Chase” stats & accolades thinking that will get you a scholarship The best situations happen organically.

Recruiting Tip✍🏽 You will never have to chase or beg a coach to recruit you. If they are seriously interested, you’ll be able to tell from their actions. So often we are convinced by “words” and not “actions”. Don’t get the two confused.

HS Prospects... I’ve spoken with various D2 & NAIA coaches this week. Conversations are very similar... JUCO prospects are who the majority of them are targeting, aggressively. So, if you do hear from a D2 or NAIA... Don’t think you’re “too good”... Competition is thick...

Parents & Prospects... If you were a college coach (Non D1) would you spend your time recruiting a kid that had a “D1 Or Bust” mentality? College coaches aren’t here for you to “collect offers”... Most coaches can’t afford to waste valuable time. Think about it...

Recruiting Tip ✍🏽 On a visit stay away from initial questions regarding playing time etc... If the coach brings it up, great. Ask questions about the program’s graduation rate & academic advisement. Show the coach you care about your academics as well. Be well-rounded.

I always say this: It’s so different talking to a 17/18yr old about recruiting compared to speaking to a 20/21yr old. If younger kids (and parents) could get this message from the beginning, I promise you’ll enjoy your college experience and career MUCH MORE. #BestFitPrevails
