Overprotected kids become unprepared adults.
Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥
You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts.
Hard is the lesson.

Lots of colleges have players on campus practicing already this summer. Most staffs are preparing to head out later in the month for the scholastic periods for 2027 and beyond…
Who is it that some of you guys are waiting on to come calling?
Pet peeve after offering a kid a scholarship…
Comment from Current Adult in their Life: “Congrats! First of many! Can’t wait to see the many more offers to come!”
Me: “How about I withdraw my offer & leave y’all to go collect 100 more offers to feel validated? 🤣”
Moral of the story — You need the ONE right offer to have a successful college career, not 100 offers to get likes online.
Don’t push kids to collect a million offers just to have them. You want the RIGHT offer to go have a successful, fulfilling career!
Another guy who really impressed at the @madehoops Transfer Portal Combine? Messiah Anderson 🏀

Another local product who stood out today was CCBC Catonsville’s (JUCO) Jaden French (@realjaef).
Averaged 12.0 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in 2025-26.
Not afraid to get downhill at the rim and showed some flashes as an iso scorer too.

Shout out to Jayport Smith on his commitment to ccbc. He will be attending there this fall semester after having a good frosh campaign. Can’t wait to see you contribute to a great team this upcoming season. @CoachPrioleauJr

Coaches who need a strong defender, strong driver…look no further. Avg 2.5stls per game.
If the coach don’t care about their players outside of basketball, DO NOT GO TO THAT SCHOOL.
No facilities, uniforms or NIL money outweighs a coach who only cares about you in a transactional way.
You will not be successful.
