On the road last night recruiting, the kid I am there to see isn't having his best game-foul trouble etc. When his number was called, he went on an 8-0 run(2 3's and a lay-up), was encouraging, engaged, leading the cheers. incredible display of senior leadership! Refreshing!

Love my time spent in vegas watching the summer league....loads of talent on every team. A lot of young men playing collegiate basketball (all levels) consider your investment in your degrees. It’s a lot harder to earn an opportunity than expected.
