When you talk about the transfer portal, don't forget about the kid who's been in the program since 3rd grade.
The one who showed up early, stayed late, worked their tail off, developed, waited their turn, and was finally ready to be in the rotation.
Then a transfer comes in on their 3rd school and takes those minutes.
Loyalty, development, and patience still matter too.
Dear College Coaches...
Did you see the size of the PG that led his team and won a NBA Championship❓️ He isn't a 6'6 Guard or a 6'8 Guard.. He's not the fastest or most athletic... He's a Guard that put the work in and found a coach that believed in him‼️ HEART OVER HEIGHT‼️
JULIAN SMITH 5’11 Point Guard, Class of 2027
Puma NXTPRO circuit stats:
15.5 ppg, 7.5 apg, 45% 3pt, 2 game winners🔥

Top takeaways from the live period this weekend.
1.) Playing hard is now a skill — too many kids taking plays off or just playing too cool in front of coaches!
Telling a player "Make a better decision" after a turnover is subpar coaching.
If they made a bad read, it’s often because the practice environment hasn't exposed them to that specific defensive coverage enough times.
Don't blame their IQ. Fix your constraints and increase the number of reps.
Lots of kids ball hogging
Lots of kids playing the right way
Lots of bad shots
Lots of kids picking up their teammates
Lots of kids getting crossed off the list
Lots of kids playing the game the right way
He tried to put it down 🤣 We gotta work on them legs this summer... By next school year 💪🏽🕺
On another note if any of the TOP Teams need a PG going into the NCAA Certified Sessions.. Hit me up... We are looking for a team‼️
