How about my guy Wabissa Bede who just earned his Bachelor’s degree after just 3 years at Virginia Tech while playing ACC basketball. Nothing short of amazing. Bede will finish his 4 year career at VT with a Master’s degree. Basketball ➡️ education ➡️ life changing opportunities.
We are blessed to be American & in Dallas this weekend competing in a great event. The official calling my game tells both coaches to be patient as he lost his hearing while serving our country in Afghanistan. An excellent official & the real hero of this tournament. @TheCircuit
We are celebrating big time tonight in #RivalsNation. AJ Reeves with 7 threes as Providence College clinches the Big East Championship. Nine years ago we predicted this 8th grader with the big smile would be something special. What a game. What a night for the Mass Rivals.
Our prayers go out to Alum and UConn Freshman Akok Akok. Appears to have just suffered an Achilles injury in a game against Memphis. Has come back out to the bench in uniform to join his teammates. Wouldn’t expect anything less from Akok. We love and praying for you @akokrakok.
Wabissa Bede a special young man and talent. The Virginia Tech PG was in the gym tonight working with a 6th grader on dribble penetration moves & then stayed for the next practice to instruct our high school guys. Wabissa Bede represents everything our program was built on.
I remember 5’9 Wabissa Bede as a Merrimack Valley 8th grader with a big dream and yet a bigger heart. Today, the Virginia Tech PG begins plays in his final NCAA tournament (12:15 pm CBS). He will leave VT in 4 years with a Masters degree ready for a D1 coaching career. Dream big!
Kur Teng on his official visit to Providence College today. The consensus top 40 national prospect scores the basketball as good as anybody in the country. Will attend shoot around and then the Villanova-PC game. The state of Rhode Island has been great to our program. All Love.
A great surprise tonight. Wenyen Gabriel came for a visit. The Rivals Basketball Club built it’s reputation on toughness and playing hard. Wenyen Gabriel represents the best of those qualities. One of the hardest workers in the NBA. Love him.
