First day of the season. Had 50 students today at tryouts. Excited to get the season started. Back at it tomorrow.

From a black FB friend

“Let me make this shit perfectly clear.

I know Florida has never elected a Black governor, and yes, the election of Byron Donalds would be historic. As a Black Floridian, I understand the significance of seeing someone who looks like me occupy the Governor’s Mansion. But history alone will NOT get my vote.

This isn’t about Byron Donalds being Black, and it isn’t simply because he’s a Republican. It’s no secret that I’m a moderate Democrat, and have crossed party lines before when I believed the Republican candidate was the better person to lead the great state of Florida.

But, child please! It will be a cold day in hell before I cast my vote for Byron Donalds, and here’s why.

Representation means absolutely nothing to me if the person representing us lacks the integrity, independence, courage, and conviction to stand up when it matters! Time and time again Byron has demonstrated he’s no independent critical thinker.

Black sisters and brothaz, Byron Donalds is no Barack Obama. He is no General Colin Powell. And I refuse to become so mesmerized by the possibility of Florida electing its first Black governor that I ignore the man’s record, his alliances, his rhetoric, and what I believe his leadership would mean for Florida. I am TIRED of symbolism being offered as a substitute for substance.

After years of watching DeSantis policies coming out of Tallahassee that I firmly believe have chipped away at civil rights protections, attacked diversity initiatives, and diminished how Black history is taught and discussed, I cannot vote for someone simply because his skin looks like mine. Black skin does not automatically equal Black consciousness.

And finally from everything I have seen, Byron Donalds has demonstrated far too much loyalty to Donald Trump and the MAGA political machine for me to believe he represents the kind of independent leadership Florida desperately needs.

So yes, David Jolly is a white man. I am not voting for a complexion. I am voting for leadership. I am voting for policies. I am voting for character. I am voting based on who I believe will respect the history and civil rights of ALL Floridians rather than continue tearing away at them.

My vote come November 2026, will be for David Jolly (FULL STOP)! Florida deserves better than another four years of division, political bullshit, and culture wars. I love this state far too much to vote based on skin color.

In the words of Dr. MLK, judge David Jolly “by the content of his character and not by the color of his skin”! Florida, the choice is clear, VOTE BLUE!!!
And I said, what I said!💪🏾🇺🇸🪖🏳️‍🌈

Jalen Brunson says 30 intentional minutes can beat 2 hours in the gym, and explains the NBA was never his goal because he was consumed with just trying to get a little bit better everyday

“People say, ‘Oh, I was in the gym for two hours today.’ Like, okay, what did you do in the gym?’ You can get a much more difficult and better workout in 30 to 40 minutes versus just being in the gym BS’ing for two hours.”

“While it was about consistency, it was about being precise. There was intent to everything you did. It was definitely commitment. I loved going out and working out. I loved going and playing pickup.”

“When we lived in Virginia, we lived in Charlottesville Virginia when my dad worked at UVA. I would go play at the rec center with college kids. We would play pickup, I’m playing against older people and I’m playing well. I’m not thinking, I’m going to the NBA. The NBA was never talked about. No. I’m just trying to get better. It was all about going to college.”

“There were baby steps. Yes there were long term goals, but I’m focused on the short term goals. Baby steps, one step at a time. People just want to jump straight there, and they get disappointed because they didn’t enjoy their journey. I enjoyed every step of my journey. Enjoy your steps.”

[Coach Ben Witherspoon @CoachBenW]

This will be my college coach’s last year as head coach at Embry-Riddle.

800 wins and counting. 20 conference championships. National champion. Hall of Famer. Built the program from nothing into a national power as Head Coach and Athletic Director.

One more season to add to an incredible legacy. Grateful to have been a part of it.
