Recruits- “Hey coach, I just need one opportunity. I just need a coach to believe in me.” Coaches- “I have a spot available on my team open. It’s just the opportunity you were looking for. I believe in you.” Recruits- “I need to weigh my options.” 🤦🏾‍♂️

Dear freshmen, If you are struggling adjusting to college athletics, do NOT lose faith or confidence. It happens to everyone. Once the speed of play slows down to you, you will get it. Take it one day and one practice at a time. It will get better. #headupnotdown

I swear I wish all high school kids understood how hard it is to make an "impact- as they call it" right away at the collegiate level. You can avg 17-20ppg and go to college and struggle for a year or two. Its just not easy. Be confident but at same time, be realistic.

So proud of this team. Words can’t express my love for them. They are just a group of men. A heck of an effort, just came up short. Our four seniors have raised the bar for our program. I will miss them on the court but I know they will be great people off the court. #WU

Recruits: ever wonder why some coaches/schools stop recruiting/talking to you? A lot of times it’s because coaches want responsible kids in their program. How many times does a coach have to say apply? Send transcripts? FAFSA? Schedule? Etc.. 1/2

You can have all the talent in the world but if you don’t have mental toughness, your talent will be wasted. Your putting limits on yourself. Nothing GREAT happens from just doing the easy things. Be a “limitless” player. Push yourself to be GREAT every day!

Sometimes you need just one person or a group of people to believe in you and give you a shot. Once you get that shot, don’t blow it over pride, ego or what other people may think. Don’t be afraid of failure. It’s okay to be different. Be brave. Write your own story.

As a coach, we see, help, guide, teach and lead young men. One of the things we can't do is make you want to get an education. 97% of s-a won't be a pro (or last), so what else will you do with your life? Family? Invest in YOUR education. Education > athletics. #ballisntlife

I usually don’t post about my daughters on X but I’m really happy with their development right now. I try to talk to them about being complete players and not just wanting to score. It’s safe to say that my 7th grader Maya is applying that to her game, to help her team win.
