I am a 27yr old, single, black, educated young man. There are NOT many of them out there giving up FREE TIME for the betterment of someone elses kid. I’ve seen/coached a LOT of high level basketball since I started coaching 4 years ago. Please respect my craft and dedication.

#TexasTakeoverEliteKemp
Inaugural Season in the books.
I was able to go to and graduate from Sam Houston State University not because I was the
#7
kid in the area/state in basketball. I was able to go and graduate because I was ranked
#7
in my graduating class and because I had the 7th highest GPA amongst 450 other seniors.

picked up where he left off scoring 30pts on 13/19 fg . Back to back 30 pt performances from the 6’5 2026 guard.
You can get an academic scholarship and STILL hoop! 🗣
Don’t neglect those books young people! Apply for EVERY scholarship/grant opportunity you come across.
Leave NO money on the table!
This “I’m playing out of position” epidemic in middle/high school basketball is getting out of hand.
Your position is “basketball player”. Figure out what your “role” is and the “position” won’t matter.
Kids...your favorite player played “out of position”...get over it.
What a blessing it was to be be apart of this team this season. Incredible group of kids and staff. Only people that thought we could make it was us. (And Rob C lol)

Guy comes up to in a gym on Wednesday to commend me on a job well done....said his son played against me in April and said to him after the game “Daddy, that man can coach.”
I can’t lie to you or talk fly to you....that felt good.
@MikeEvans13_
Let’s keep it a BUCK....the MENTAL battle of 3rd ward vs. Chino Hills alone would have been enough for Yates to come out on top. 2010 was my graduation year and I played those guys several times...I’m trying to find another term for “punked” but...yea...that’s where I’m at.
I’d hate to speak too soon but I just want to say how GRATEFUL I am for having DEDICATED parents. Through all my years of coaching AAU basketball I’ve found that the biggest difficulty outside of finding gym space is finding BOTH dedicated parents and athletes. SALUTE!
#TTE2021
I’m hurt. Physically and emotionally. We have to speak life into these kids and to the generations to come. No mother should have to bury a kid over senseless gun violence. Praying for the family.

College coaches visiting in the Katy area of Houston, TX should DEFINITELY stop by Katy Taylor High School and have a conversation with
@Jake_arnold19
.
The biggest thing I took from this weekend and really from the whole AAU season was how important it is to set a
#Culture
and identity for your team/program. Chemistry and comaradarie are not to be swept under the rug or put on the back burner for talent.
God has blessed me to be apart of some amazing coaching staffs and teams throughout my short career. I pray that he continues to provide favor in that matter and that I’m able to continue serve him by giving to those the knowledge and tools that I didn’t have growing up.

out there representing Katy Taylor well. Being on this picture doesn’t just mean you can ball but it means that your coach is comfortable with you representing the program and the whole community. Job well done.
All these NBA teams been playing Zone the whole season but y’all can’t figure out how to teach it, coach against it and demand effort. There are “man principles” in a zone, you have to let the players know that and SHOW them. I still have A LOT to learn though don’t mind me.
Congrats to 2023

is quietly having a solid season for Brazoswood. Here are his district stats updated as of yesterday. Jake insisted that he wanted to be challenged as a player this summer and I’m excited to get to coach a great player and even better young man.
Come see Texas Takeover Elite Kemp (2021) this weekend as we boot up for our second session at the
@PHCircuit
in Forth Worth. A lot of young talent looking to stamp their names and make an early impression for some college coaches.
Texas Takeover Elite Kemp (2021) will have 2 NEW ROSTER ADDITIONS this weekend for the
@PrepHoops
Finals in Bel Aire, Kansas. Expect for both guys to have a HUGE impact.🔥🏀🗣💪🏾😤
Came to Buda, Tx and left people talking about
#texastakeoverelite2021
and how well these kids played this weekend. Played up in the 17u division and came out victorious. That’s the 3rd straight tournament championship for Texas Takeover Elite Kemp (2021). 🏆🥇💍🔥🏀
Great job,
@Jake_arnold19
! Made 1st team in the 17U Circuit League! 24 points against BMM (missing below); 17.5 PPG, 40% 3-pt., 2 SPG and shot 93% (14/15) from the free throw line. Keep working!
Coaches and parents, when y’all having that before or after the game talk with your kid...don’t neglect speaking about body language. It can really be a detriment.
I want to wish a very special happy birthday to one of the hardest working men in the city
@4YFilms
! Thankful for what you have done to help me and for all you do for the kids in the city.
#TexasTakeoverElite
is proud to call you one of our own and glad you joined the family.
If I send a kid back to his high school team as relatively the “same player” then I’ve failed as a coach.
Bridging relationships between high school coach and AAU coach is so important.
#QuidProQuo
Guy taking our picture after the win: “Y’all just made it to the regional championship, shouldn’t y’all be a little more celebratory?”
Us: 1 more...every day it’s 1 more game.
First year organization with multiple additions because of the work these boys put in this summer. Recognition comes because of the work they put in in practice and competition.
