Recruits- “Hey coach, I just need one opportunity. I just need a coach to believe in me.”
Coaches- “I have a spot available on my team open. It’s just the opportunity you were looking for. I believe in you.”
Recruits- “I need to weigh my options.”

- Dear freshmen, If you are struggling adjusting to college athletics, do NOT lose faith or confidence. It happens to everyone. Once the speed of play slows down to you, you will get it. Take it one day and one practice at a time. It will get better. #headupnotdown
- I swear I wish all high school kids understood how hard it is to make an "impact- as they call it" right away at the collegiate level. You can avg 17-20ppg and go to college and struggle for a year or two. Its just not easy. Be confident but at same time, be realistic.
- Part of the journey is the end. 23yrs (9 as assistant, 13yrs as a head) is a long time. I was blessed to get this opportunity back in 2011. It’s been a good run but now it’s dad/daughters time. The program is in great hands w/@Dee_martin05. Will see how being a fan goes 😂 #WUNigel Jenkins has resigned as head coach of the @Waldorf_MBB program. Demitrius Martin has been named the interim head coach for the 2024-25 season. waldorfwarriors.com/sports/mbkb/20…
- So proud of this team. Words can’t express my love for them. They are just a group of men. A heck of an effort, just came up short. Our four seniors have raised the bar for our program. I will miss them on the court but I know they will be great people off the court. #WU
- When you have parents who drive 4 hours to come watch a game and their kids don’t play here anymore... I guess I’m doing something right 🤷🏾♂️. I’m so blessed to have had some great players and families. #WU
- Recruits: ever wonder why some coaches/schools stop recruiting/talking to you? A lot of times it’s because coaches want responsible kids in their program. How many times does a coach have to say apply? Send transcripts? FAFSA? Schedule? Etc.. 1/2
- Huge win! So proud of my guys.Congratulations to @Waldorf_MBB who beat first-place Mayville State today, 65-59 to secure a third place @PlayNorthStar finish and clinch home court in the first round of the 2024 NSAA Tournament! (3) Waldorf to host (6) Dickinson on Wednesday night in Forest City. Be there!
- Big time effort tonight on the road at Dickinson St. Last time we were out here, we didn’t close and lost in OT. Tonight, we found a way to get it done. Love these guys. Final Four, here we come. #conferencetourney #roadwarriors #WU #dontstopbelieving
- So proud of this dude. Another GREAT person that has passed through this program. He has had an outstanding career. He is also our career leader in assists. One of the biggest team first guys I know. #WUDuring last nights win over Dickinson State University. @bradykuchinka has taken over as your 2nd All Time Leading Scorer. Brady surpasses Jordan Nelson (1,325 pts) with 1,327pts and counting!
