“small aau team” LOL — we’ve had 38 full scholarship kids, 23 of them r playing D1, in 6 graduating classes. we also got Dom his first 4 D1 offers (as a c/o 2021 guy). there’s no doubt what the EYBL/The Rens can do for a player, but put some respect on our name Rob!
#theforceway
My favorite nugget in here is on Dom Barlow. He was just a kid playing for a small AAU team until someone from the NY Rens saw him in a park in NJ last fall. After showing out in Augusta, he landed an offer from Kansas, and will skyrocket into IMO the top 40 or so.
“too slow” “can’t guard anyone” “not a Division I player” “unathletic” — listened to this for 2 years,
@Josh_Cohen35
had 3 D1 offers coming out of HS. here’s the resume…
