SAS was being extra sensitive because she was right. Again, two things could be true. He might have talked about the WNBA more than most other shows and he probably could have done more with his platform to Monica’s pt. There are instance where we all could do more.
One day, we are not only going to see Louisiana basketball preps in the Southland, SWAC, and Sun Belt, but in D1 & D2 conferences from the Big West to the CIAA. Power 5 to anywhere in between. We got kids coming. Just watch. @PrepHoopsLA@OTBSports_
I used to be a 318 vs everybody type of guy (esp coming from S’port). Then I got this gig that in some ways saved my sanity and now its The Boot vs everybody. Gotta love Louisiana basketball!! @PrepHoopsLA@OTBSports_ @EddieJ_Hamilton @LAClass4A@louisiana1A
It’s really a blessing to be around basketball. I want to thank @PrepHoops for allowing me to be part of the crew, @OTBSports_ for allowing me to talk basketball, and the Louisiana hoops family for allowing me to do what I do covering this game. I’m truly grateful. @PrepHoopsLA
Hey coaches, scouts don’t know everyone but we try to. We would like to send out tweets about your kids during games (at least I do). So, since y’all aren’t using MaxPreps to put your rosters on the net, please put the 1st and last name of your kids in the book. 🙏🏾@PrepHoopsLA
Considering where I came from three years ago to 1800 followers, I think it’s cool as heck. Thank you. I’m gonna continue to give you the best basketball covering I can as long as I can. #humble@PrepHoopsLA@OTBSports_

Seniors, your next basketball opportunity may not be in the Ark-La-Tex or the Ark-La-Miss. It may be somewhere nowhere close to your hometown. At the end of the day, it’s an opportunity. Go get it! @PrepHoopsLA@OTBSports_

People don’t like the messenger and I get that. But he tells the truth more times than not. IJS. Sometimes it is little things that make a difference. @OTBSports_ @Cocktails_CWade @MVP_94@ageedub@RodWash1911
After Deion Sanders' Jackson State football team defeated FAMU in their season opener, Coach had something to get off his chest, "Don’t you think his mama-n-them want to see their baby name on the back of the jerseys?"
Coach Prime wants the SWAC to display names on jerseys
The Class 3A All-state team has been released. Congrats to MPA SR and Seton Hall signed Percy Daniels for being named MOP. Congrats to Coach Gauff at AB Hannan on being named COY. @PrepHoopsLA@OTBSports_@S_BJournal@MVP_94 @CoachBradBoyd_ @Mal_Mundy @GentsCoachD @CoachRara318

When did so many players start backpedaling on the wing instead of sprinting to the corner to create space for the guy bringing the ball up? If you sprint to the corner, maybe that will create enough space to get you the ball. @PrepHoopsLA@OTBSports_
Statement Session early morning top performers: Bryce Weinmunson, Devon’drake Arvie, Reginald Stoner, Solomon Washington, Marquis Harris, Jordan Decuir, Donavan Seamster, LeLand Smith, & Fred Payne. More to come……. @PrepHoopsLA@OTBSports_@prepstarsla@Mal_Mundy

I’m really glad the Port City got a chance to host the likes of Zach Fenn, Solomon Washington, Dorian Finister, Rayvon Smith, and others. Seems like players from the area didn’t do too bad themselves. Great job @Mal_Mundy and @CoachMorris5. @PrepHoopsLA@OTBSports_@S_BJournal

Excited to announce my commitment to The United States Naval Academy! I’d like to thank my family, coaches, and teammates for helping me fulfill this lifelong dream. This is only the beginning…⚓️ #gonavy#committed
Living through Shreveport in the early 90s was a blessing. To be here for 46 years is still part of that same blessing. This birthday has been about peace, transition, love, fun, and work. I’m embracing all of it too!! HBD to me!!
Late in the SHS-Bossier contest was probably the best show of sportsmanship all day. Bossier’s Dante Bell helping to stretch @C_Caldwell10 who was cramping after Bell fouled him. It was a battle but much respect shown on both sides. @PrepHoopsLA@Southwoodhoops@OTBSports_
Working on the 2022 rankings. Coaches, if you have some film on guys from 2022, please forward it. Trying my best to get comprehensive information before a finalized list comes out. 2023 freshman names would also be helpful. @PrepHoopsLA@OTBSports_@_LionBasketball

One of the best things from the weekend: A couple of the Xtreme Hoops kids watched the OWE game and a couple of them celebrating w/ CJ after the game winner. They didn’t know him but he was from the Boot, so it was all good. @NorthLAScout@PrepHoopsLA@OTBSports_@CoachMorris5
