    After some hemming and hawing -- yeah, BlueSky is the superior option. Hoping many of you move over there ASAP. That'll be my primary outlet moving forward. bsky.app/profile/jmverl… bsky.app/profile/hooplo…

    Paschall, DiVincenzo, Spellman, Gillespie, Booth, Cosby-Roundtree plus Jahvon Quinerly, Cole Swider, Brandon Slater, Jermaine Samuels? Yeah, Nova is still gonna be pretty damn good next year.

    Pretty cool to see ⁦@notthefakeSVP⁩ use our videos tonight on SportsCenter. (Less cool that there’s no credit up on screen, but it is what it is).

    We're a small organization, but your rates are definitely in line with what we pay. Shoot me a DM if you'd be interested in covering some Philly-area teams when they come to Maryland/DC.

    Three years ago, Collin Gillespie (@Colling1021) was a kid playing for a 'B' team AAU squad in little tournaments, totally under the radar. Now, national champion @NovaMBB.

    Absolutely. In Jewish tradition we do something called “shiva” where it’s seven days of basically an open house at the family’s place. It’s super-comforting and really helps the bereaved. Family and friends stop by, bring food, celebrate the life, offer kind words.

    I say this every time I go to a #d3hoops game like this one: if you're a high school ballplayer who thinks you're too good to play at this level, come see a game. These dudes are really good.

    Happy to officially announce I've been hired by @FCSphoenix to serve as the Sports Information Coordinator for the Upper School's sports teams! I'll be over at @friendscentral (or wherever their teams are playing) several times a week, writing about their student-athletes.
