Glad to send these young men out the right way this summer by going 6-0 this weekend & winning the GRBA Platinum South Championship. Great group of guys who really bought in as the year went on. We started off 2-4 in our first two tournaments & ended the summer 22-8

Tommy Amaker on what important to an assistant coach:
"There's nothing greater as an assistant coach than when you know your voice is valued."
This is SO TRUE
Too many Head Coaches want yes men as assistants rather than give power

I am at a stage in life where my brain challenges all societal norms and things weโre โsupposedโ to do. I challenge everyone in 2023 to CHOOSE the person they want to be, things they want to do, and not conform to what anyone says they should. GO BE GREAT & Happy New Year ๐๐ฝ
Iโve said this before , but Iโm extremely grateful for the opportunity and support Iโve received from
@CoachSullyDU
. I am super excited to see what the coming years have in store for us and the
@DenisonHoops
program! ๐๐ฝ๐
๐ง Coaches are connected from all levels AND you also never know where people will end up in the future. You legit never know whoโs watching you.
Thereโs been times Iโve sat in gyms in street clothes to watch players & had other coaches go watch players for me & vice versa!
One of the challenging things Iโve come to realize in my faith journey is the mindset shift/realization that our existence & life purpose is to live for & glorify The Most High, not the other way around. We exist for Godโs glory, not sure who needed that, but felt lead to share๐๐ฝ
2023s reaching out, unfortunately our application deadline has passed so we will no longer but able to recruit new 2023s unless you have already applied to Denison. We appreciate all your interest and wish you the best of luck!
Man, life has thrown some definite curve balls but throughout it all, the Lord has been abundantly faithful. Gratitude is something that I have been trying to express more of because I have been outrageously blessed ๐๐ฝ
This is your reminder to be grateful regardless of your circumstances or what season youโre in! So many things to be thankful for ๐๐ฝ donโt take it for granted
2025s and 2026s
We will be hosting our elite camp on June 2nd at Denison.
This is a MASSIVE recruiting opportunity for you all to be seen & be prioritized by us.
4 of our 6 incoming freshman were elite camp attendees last year.
For all you players out there who get upset and want to transfer early in your career when it doesnโt go your way, Jack Gohlke is torching Kentucky right now in the NCAA tournament and he DID NOT PLAY at a D2 in his first two seasons and is now dominating on the biggest stage! ๐ง
I got a feeling on the inside that 2021 is gonna be an unbelievable and fruitful year for myself and so many others ๐๐ฝ looking forward to what this new year is going to bring !
MUST know for players going through the recruiting process ๐ง
At the NCAA D2 & NAIA levels, programs can mix academic & athletic aid along with grants & loans.
In NCAA D3, the ๐ฐ received is not attached to athletics whatsoever & is guaranteed if in good academic standing
Scholarship ๐ฐ Breakdown by Level
Division I - 13 Full Rides
Division II - 10 Full scholarships if fully funded
NAIA - 8 Full scholarships if fully funded
Division III - No athletic ๐ฐ available. Offer grants, academic scholarships, & loans.
#recruiting
#transferportal
For D1 schools, U must qualify w/ the baseline GPA. However, w/ minimum requirements, that greatly reduces your options @ D1 level
D2/NAIAโs are given a pool of ๐ฐ & the more ๐ฐ U can earn with ๐ allows them to use less on U & get more talent which = better chances of winning
Regardless of level, academics play a huge factor in your recruiting. It can affect the types of schools that can recruit you along with how much total aid you will receive, and potentially be the difference maker in receiving an opportunity or not!
TAKE CARE OF THE CLASSROOM ๐
For all attending our elite camp on July 30th, I will be emailing every attendee tomorrow with a detailed schedule and details for our final prospect camp of the year! Spots are filling FAST and if interested, can still sign up at ๐
Our entire

Even as a young coach, love connecting with former players and talking about life and everything non-basketball related. Not many greater feelings than seeing young men youโve mentored mature into quality young men and doing well in life.

2024s tap in! This is vital that you really take a look at your options right now and evaluate if they are a good fit for you! That opportunity youโre waiting out for might not come and if you wait too long, the ones you have may be gone! ๐ง
2024โs are at a MAJOR disadvantage with the new transfer rules & itโs easier than ever to fill a need with experienced college players vs. HS recruits ๐
Take your opportunities seriously and do your due diligence now, or potentially lose opportunities by waiting too long ๐
Happy Mothers Day to ALL mothers in any capacity and especially Motherโs spending weekends sacrificing their time/money in gyms and at fields supporting their children on their special day/weekend! ๐๐ฝ
Thereโs just something special about a group of people working together for a common goal despite their differences and sports provide just that! Couldnโt be more proud of our guys for how theyโve handled themselves, which helped lead up to todayโs win๐๐ฝ
