CJ Wilcher is the most underrated player in โ20. Heโs a True 2. Quick, high release. Crafty but efficient w/dribble and strong frame. Scores at will. Xavier got a gem.
Heโs been gravitating towards this his entire life. He has played for, and coached under legends since he was 4 years old. So proud and excited to have a seat on his bench. He works tirelessly in silence and never self-promotes. Dr Gianniniโs quotes >>>
Admittedly, I am extremely uncomfortable talking/reading about myself. Truly humbled by Joe's words & Josh's vision. ๐is the best sport in the world and I hope to continue leveraging it to impact kids lives and developmental pathways on & off court. TY! โค๏ธ

Terrible - those that voted against this are hurting player development, game pace & quality. It exposes weaker coaching, and forces higher levels of defensive awareness. No stall ball, parades to FT line, etc. Big loss today smh.

Bittersweet update โ the past few yrs at Neumann-Goretti have been incredible. The relationships I have developed with the staff & players are something I will cherish forever. Coach Carl has been the best mentor I could ask for and I strive to be half the person he is... (1/2)
Congrats to โญ๏ธ โ24 PG Robert Wright III on cracking the 1,000 point mark! Rob scored 35 points tonight in our quarterfinal playoff W and only needed 55 games (covid yrs) to eclipse 1K. Special, special player.

There should be zero discussion about who the number 1 point guard in the country is anymore. Go watch the Iolani Classic chip game. Robert Wright III is him. Honestly, he is top 5 nationally in โ24. Go argue with your barber
