Iโve been working with and cheering on other peopleโs kids since 1993. For the first time this morning, I get to sit and cheer on my own.

Even the huge win over Baylor was not enough to console Cannonball after not getting to meet Patrick Mahomes at the game.

Canโt wait to get the new guys on campus! Meanwhile,
@_KevinObanor
is back in the building and pushing to increase his โsneaky athleticismโ. I expect Red Raider fans to be blown away by the 22-23 version of KO! ๐ช๐ฝ๐๐ฐ๐ฐ
Jaylon Tyson got all the love last week, but
@Kjallen32
has also been busting his tail getting ready to take on a bigger role next season. ๐ช๐พ๐๐
I generally donโt post Before/After pics. I give them to the players & let them decide 4 themselves. Had to make an exception for
@Kjallen32
tho. Had a lot of ground to make up and has really embraced the challenge.

@FardawsAimaq
has shown in both UT games just how valuable and versatile he can be. Letโs keep pushing!

As I sit here thinking about the exciting times ahead 4 our family here in Memphis ๐, I canโt help but think of the young men who helped get us here. The Wโs & Lโs will fade, but the memories and relationships forged will last forever! โค๏ธ๐ช๐พ๐๐๐ฉ๐ผ๐ฆ๐ผ๐ฆ๐ผโค๏ธ

Happy 16th Anniversary to my beautiful wife Jennifer! The jersey colors & mailbox numbers have changed over the years, but her love and allegiance to our family only grows with time. I love you babe!
Another week of ๐ค in the books also means another Friday cooking class for the guys. Thank you

The utter disgrace of this play is that AC was called for the foul, even though it was Noel who put his forearm into AC's neck. Here's another angle..
My entire life has been consumed by athletics, probably too much so. It gives me great joy to have a son who loves science projects just as much as ballgames. We love you Case! ๐โฝ๏ธ๐
Happy birthday to a true warrior and one of my all-time favorites, both on and off the court! Brought it every day! We miss you

Special guest tonight at Cannonballโs game. Says a lot about
@Iam1Cent
that heโd make the time to come out to watch a 3rd/4th grade ๐ game. Coach made the win much more memorable.
Thx to our entire UM ๐ family for another great Autism Awareness game. The most beautiful part for us is Case being totally unaware that his love and trust of our players has always been a huge part of his therapy and growth! ๐๐งฉ๐๐
#AutismSpeaks
Today, many in college basketball will support autism awareness. Case will be cheering loudly for our Tiger boys unaware that our players over the years, have been his greatest therapy.

TJ Starks jumping out of the frame during some PAP work yesterday. Trying to recruit a few more motor units before we close out our offseason in two weeks. Also aids in deceleration and landing mechanics. We keep the loads <20% of actual lift load.

With the weight room shut down and an extra-deep cleaning on tap for Daddy, Cannon thought itโd be a gr8 time to practice his RKOโs. Learning that taking โbumpsโ happens on both sides of the dance. ๐คฃ

Happy birthday to the lady who still takes my breath away. She's the ultimate coach's wife and a wonderful mother to our boys. She's been with me every step of the way, and I'd be nothing without her.
Happy 8th birthday to our first born! In true Case fashion, he has handled our transition to Memphis with nothing but JOY and positivity. He is making new friends, loving his new school, and getting more excited everyday for the ๐ ๐ season! We love you Case!
NBA All-Star break means one of the all-time Aggie ๐โs

in the ๐ for some shots and a quick lift. The best know how to get their REPS and REST.

With the facility sanitized but off limits to our athletes, the boys and I are spending our days quarantined at the LWC. Cannon set up his own obstacle course today.

The wins and losses fade w time, but the relationships formed along the way will bond us for life. One of my first (Demetrius Alexander - Hutchinson CC โ95-โ96) and most recent (Admon Gilder - Texas A&M โ16-โ19). Visiting with former players is always special!
Our Aggie boys were his safe place during his early years when he needed to make a connection. Looking back at our journey with Case, our players have been his one constant touch stone. Case has come so far and heโs thriving in 5th grade.
