Mercer win is another example of why recruits shouldn't be so caught up in levels/school names. You can win and be on the big stage anywhere

- Parents of HS basketball players should go to a college game at every level (D1,D2,D3,NAIA,JC) just to understand how good all levels are
- Everyone is worried about size of guards and positions. I need a 2, I need a 3. No, you needs some dogs that you can let loose on both ends
- JUCO coaches have been quickly flipping rosters long before the transfer portal existed. Good to see some AD’s & search firms are finally starting to realize this & are considering JC coaches for head coaching gigs directly from JUCO or after a stint as a D1 assistant
- JUCO Players: Don't rush the season to get to the next level. Some of the best times u will have take place at JC. I know, I played JC ball
- The three leading scorers tonight for #16 seed FDU in their win over #1 seed Purdue: Sean Moore - D2 transfer from St. Thomas Aquians (followed HC Tobin Anderson) Demetre Roberts - D2 transfer from St. Thomas Aquinas Cameron Tweedy - JUCO transfer from State Fair
- Everyone is worried about size of guards and positions. I need a 2, I need a 3. No, you needs some dogs that you can let loose on both ends
- It’s been a great run as an agent, but I’m excited to announce that I’m joining Elite Basketball Services (@EliteBballServ, @EbsScouting) as Co-Owner/Director of Scouting. Thanks to all of the pro players & college coaches who have allowed me to provide them with representation
- Congrats to Gregg Popovich and the Spurs. One the best TEAMS I've ever seen. No egos, no complaining, nothing extra. They just play together
- JUCO is a place for many to get a 2nd chance. Gives some a clean slate & chance to prove themselves on/off court. Don't take it for granted
- High school players: If u think u can play D1, turn on CBS at 3pm EST and watch the NCAA D2 Championship Game and then reevaluate ur game
- If was a college coach, I’d be recruiting some ass-kickers this off-season. Don’t care where they come from (HS, JUCO, transfers). Obviously have to be able score the ball at a high level, but toughness, defense and rebounding win games, especially late in the season.
- A few clips of 6’11 F Ugonna Kingsley Onyenso (@PSAhoops / @TNEBBallClub) from the NBA Academy Games. He averaged 13 PPG, 9 RPG, 3 BPG & shot 64% from the field in 6 games. Currently on an official to Kentucky per @Andrew__Slater 🎥 @scorebreak
00:00 - Had the chance to talk with the leading scorer in NCAA D2 KJ Jones II (Emmanuel College GA) is an intriguing prospect. - 6’6/203 pound junior - 25.8 PPG, 7.4 RPG and 3.4 APG - 48% FG 40% 3FG - Plays all three perimeter positions More info/interview: scoutingbasketball.substack.com/p/sleeper-watc…
