- I can’t believe this kid is still available. Jackson Gaffney is a 6’8” shooter/scorer that can play the 1-4. He had a few offers and plenty of conversations but nothing materialized yet. We are talking to schools and looking at other options but just dealing with D1 schools

00:00 - I am thankful for all the AAU teams reaching out to Tammar. AAU isn’t a priority for us for multiple reasons right now. We would only consider it as a show and tell rather than an exposure thing. The recruiting and the exposure for Tammar is going great. We plan on taking him

- He was the greatest player I’ve ever coached and he put me and my programs on the map after playing AAU for us. Pop and I will miss him dearly
- Coaches are taking notice to Jordan Riley (2021) from Brentwood NY. He’s not in the top 150 ????? These recruiting services need to cut the politics out and take notice. Trust you eyes people ..... this is what a NBA player looks like in high school
00:00 - There’s an noncompetitive epidemic happening in basketball all over the country. 👇🏾 The talent level is the highest I’ve ever seen it. Division III programs have Division I talent. Low majors are beating high majors. There’s a lot of parity. But hustle, the willingness to
- In Ft Lauderdale watching Nova Southeastern Sharks play. I told my kids to pay attention because this is not your average D2 program. It looks like a bunch of D1 players playing D2.
00:00 - 6’8” G Jackson Gaffney (@jgaff100) has committed to University of San Diego @usdmbb Thank you Steve Lavin (@SteveLavin64) for believing in him! Jackson took a bet on himself and it paid off - Let the congratulations be as loud as the criticism.
