@TracyJSmith13 I like the drill but way too many balls. You only need 3 balls. Break the plate down into 1/3s. Inside, middle and outside. Hit the ball where the ball is pitched!! Inside: drive it down the line, middle: hit it right back to pitcher and outside: hit it to opposite field.

@GoBearcatsMBB Tremendous addition to The Cincinnati Bearcats!!! Outstanding man who will help make a difference. Congratulations Mike!!

With the transfer portal now playing such a major role in recruiting, families need to understand one important truth: it’s not where you start, it’s where you finish.
Unless you are a true 4- or 5-star prospect, most players are recruited at a level that reflects their current value, not their long-term potential. College coaches today are under pressure to win immediately, and the portal has changed how they build rosters. Because of that, recruiting has become more local and regional than ever.
Division II, Division III, JUCO, and community colleges are increasingly serving as a development system for Division I programs. Coaches at higher levels are often looking for older, stronger, more mature, and experienced players who can step in and contribute right away — not just prospects who need years of development.
That’s why the smartest path for many athletes is to choose the level where they can:
Play early
Contribute consistently
Develop physically and mentally
Build real game experience
Create an opportunity to transfer up, if that’s the goal
Chasing a logo instead of opportunity can stall development. Playing time, confidence, and production matter more than the label on the jersey.
Also remember: D2, D3, JUCO, and community colleges typically recruit locally and regionally. There is often no need to travel across the country to be seen by programs that realistically recruit within a smaller footprint.
Be seen by the schools that can actually recruit you. Go where you can grow. Then let your game take you higher.

Also, remember: D2, D3, JUCO, and community colleges typically recruit locally and regionally. There is often no need to travel across the country to be seen by programs that realistically recruit within a smaller footprint.

@OSUHoopsInsider Very good first half. Keep playing stronger defense on them and do not let them have any second shots the second half.

PLAYERS: Be so positive, encouraging, and friendly that even the teammates that tend to complain will want to be around you. Be the example on your team. Enthusiasm can be contagious.

[Jeff Gongwer @CoachGong]

@TweetsbyCoachP Have them sign a commitment contract and pay money to be a member of the team. Some funds go to coaches and rest goes towards tournaments they play in.

Bruce Pearl's response: "One of the biggest ways you can hurt somebody's feelings, not be mad at 'em, not be jealous of 'em, envious of 'em, angry at 'em, it's to ignore them, ignore them. I don't want my players to ignore their father God. I don't. I want them to visit with Him. I want them to be on to Him. He wants to be a part of their life, part of the solution, not part of the problem."
