So practice was sloppy today but what happened before we started was magical. Our players all pitched in and bought our student assistant 2K20 for his PS4. Chase works very hard for our program and it was great to see him be appreciated by our guys.

Thank you so much! This is not about me. There are so many assistants, players and my own family that have sacrificed to make this happen! I am humbled and grateful for that sacrifice.
I am thankful today for my wife! She not only takes care of our fam but she pours a ton into our players and program! She keeps our fuel station stocked so our players have snacks and she made a Thanksgiving meal today with a little bit of home for everyone. I love you Ericka!

This just happened to us! Kid talked about head coach relationship and freedom to play his game. I wore him out for a month building a relationship. D1 called, offered and within 24 hours he was committed. I guess the relationship wasn’t too important. Maybe I get him next yr 😂
I just saw a kid committ to a D1 school who is 58-136 in last 6 years (9.6 wins a year) ZERO winning seasons! Had multiple D2 offers from very good WINNING programs. Committed to his only D1 offer. Kids are so brainwashed about D1 it’s crazy! Good luck kiddo!
So blessed to spend Spring Break with my two boys in St Louis. Six Flags, TopGolf, time with our cousin Mark Richmond, and some 3rd grade travel basketball! I wouldn’t trade this for the world!
We as a society have to change. I hurt seeing my players, former players, fellow coaches, friends and family have to deal with racism on a daily basis. I will never understand what it is like to walk in their shoes,But i will walk w/ them and support them until we see that change
This platform has been the death of many things that I love. So I want to flip the switch and use it as place to build a foundation for God’s word! If you want to witness God’s work, contact me. I am happy to share what he can do for you! I have proof!
Dear Kobe, Thank you! Prayers to your family from our family! What you were as a man, a husband and a father transcends basketball! I shed many tears today. The hoop family lost a legend we will never forget! Rest In Peace Mamba and Gianna!
So proud of this guy today! Andrew was honored at school with reading and comprehending 25 books. He was also one of a few in his class with 100% fluency in math addition and subtraction. My wife would say he got the brains from her! 🤔🤐🤓😉🙄

Had a great Prospect camp today in the beautiful NSU Events Center! I really enjoyed this group of young men! Also had a great Q&A with all of their parents.
We have spots on our roster open for next season! Come join us!
We will also have an offensive skills/shooting camp for all ages to follow on that day!
Let me tell you about “A Little Blue Bird” God will meet us right where we are but he may require you to wait for him to reveal His Glory and an open door. He will renew, strengthen, create, restore and work on you if you are patient. This has been a hard lesson! Let’s talk about
“He was on the furthest court that you could be on. I went over there and was trying to drink my coffee and wake up, and this guy is pressing at 8 a.m. No one else on his team is pressing, just him.”

God has been doing some amazing things in my life through some pretty tough times! I heard this today and it felt like an anthem! God just keeps showing up! He came back into my life in January and I am trusting every step. ?’s.. let’s talk. DM me! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
What an amazing opportunity to share my faith walk with the NSU FCA last night! Always tough to share my story but hopefully beneficial to some. Thanks Coach Varner for having me! You are doing amazing things with this group!

Don’t forget these common phrases:
“You guys do a heck of a job.”
“Do you know___? Yeah that’s my guy!”
“Oh you’re here until __? I’ll hit you up.”
And my personal favorite...
“If there’s ever anything I can do for you, let me know.”
We get the most compliments about our Shooting camp! We go 5 straight hours of teaching offensive hoop skills. Drills you can take home and make yourself a player in the driveway! Join us on Aug 4th!
Heck yeah! Well deserved! Cejay had an exceptional first freshman year! Good thing for ATU fans, he has another freshman year next season! Congratulations Cejay! I know your family is proud of you! And I am as well!

So proud of my oldest son,
@BryceBeavers
leading his team to a conference title. So awesome to see my two son’s embrace and love the sport that has given me so much!
“He doesn’t have the crap that all of us have from recruiting and social media... it’s all crap!”
@CoachPainter
is simply the best! Always tells it like it is. Do what you are good at to help your team win!
Yesterday was Media Day for Year 27. I am excited to work with this staff who have become family! Also excited to add Dusan Radivojevic to the staff in December. It is great to have former players like Dusan and Marcus Pillow with us!

Please lift up one of my players and his family in prayer! He lost his grandmother today! She is definitely in a great place and happier than she has ever been!

Proud of each one of these guys! They all grew in their own way on and off the floor. They helped turn the corner for NSU Basketball and made me look really good. Thank you! I love you guys!
Now more than ever, we need Godly men! Let’s gooo... “And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,”
Philippians 1:9-10
We always appreciate former players coming back to help our current players and team to get better! These individuals are proud NSU alum! Thank you so much! I hope we are making you proud!

for having us in to watch practice today. Picked up some great stuff and the pace of practice was unreal. The attention to detail and the organization was on the highest level. Hog hoops is in great hands.
BE BOLD!! Be Bold for God’s Kingdom! Be Bold in our trust for God’s Will! Be Bold for our family! Men, let’s be Bold in proclaiming our faith! We need to Man Up for our people! God has put this Boldness on my heart today. Enjoy the Sabbath! What a beautiful day!
I want our God all over Twitter! Let’s shine his light! If you don’t know God, reach out to me. He has been amazing lately. “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation,”
1 Peter 2:2
My new favorite verse!
#pray1st
If you feel that you are now in a disturbing place of darkness, just know that God puts you there to shine your light. So be the light that God wants you to be!
Happy Mother’s Day to this beautiful soul! We thank you with everything with have! We would not be able to make it without you. I love you and I hope you have a wonderful day!
