I really dislike when players look to the stands to their parents/family when things don’t go there way during the course of a 🏀 game. It shows insecurity, a lack mental fortitude, & the parent that doesn’t squash that immediately is hindering their son.

- The NAIA level gives athletic scholarships. I think a lot of times people equate NAIA to the D3 level. D3 is a HIGH level, but they do not offer athletic aid. NCAA D2 & NAIA are much more alike than D3 & NAIA. #Recruiting💭’s
- Luke Kennard went to a smaller HS.Stayed committed to his teammates.Didn't transfer to a bigger HS for "more exposure". Now a lottery pick.
- I am contacted every single day by guards 6’2 or less. If you are a smaller guard you must possess an elite skill. Elite shooter/scorer, on ball defender, creator, etc. There has to be something unique about your game, & you must compete w/ an edge to stand out. 🏀🏀
- As a college coach, I want guys that WANT to be apart of our program. That get excited when we call/text. If I feel a sense of entitlement or lack of engagement we move on quickly. There are so many kids hungry for an opportunity to play college 🏀 . It’s not for everyone.
- Welcome to the 🌎 Kolton Jersey Ronai ❤️❤️ 6/1/2020 @ 11:20pm Little man made his debut 5 weeks early due to some high blood pressure Kristin was experiencing yesterday. They are both still working through some issues so 🙏🏻 🙏🏾’s are appreciated. Overall they are doing well
- Refs constantly tell our guys to calm down during games…That’s when I know our bench etiquette & energy is where it needs to be. #CrazedExcitementForATeammate #BuiltForOthers #RULECougar🏀🥊😤
00:00 - Man oh man. Social media can really hurt you or enhance you in the recruiting process. Looking through a recruits twitter feed & I cant move forward in the process because of what I see. Unfortunate, but it’s reality. Be disciplined in what you like. It’s 👁 opening
- I get EXCITED when I chat with a recruit & he talks about his teammates. I get REALLY excited when I chat with a recruit & he tells me how his TEAM is doing first & not just himself. That kind of stuff translates on multiple levels in multiple areas in a college🏀locker room.
- NAIA is Big time 🏀. Young players: No matter the level, go where you are loved & valued. It's about fit, experience, and opportunity.Central Arkansas was NAIA back in my day. So no #MarchMadness but I wouldn't trade my experience for the world. #TBT
- In recruiting, You don’t choose the level. The level chooses You. If you’re being recruited by D2/NAIA’s, then you’re probably a D2/NAIA player. If you’re being recruited by D3 schools, then you’re probably a D3 player. Self awareness is 🔑 in the process.
- The best commercial of All Time. No question.“Maybe it’s my fault” One of the best Michael Jordan commercials. x.com/xtrainersa/sta…
- Coaching is NOT about winning & losing. Coaching is about relationships. Coaching is about teachable moments. Coaching is about the journey of growth you go on w/ your guys each & every year. There are good days & bad, but I LOVE what I do & the platform God has trusted me with.
