True story of how we got Rip Hamilton to play in our program with Kobe Bryant. The best back court in AAU history. Sam Rines AAU

We are a high school, prep school, and a post grad program with boarding located in South Jersey just over the bridge from Philadelphia. The location is very important because we are within 25 miles from colleges (7 D1 schools).

The facilities great especially when paired with an elite schedule and elite training means unlimited exposure. Limited spots are due to our housing and roster spots. We take care of our players from top to bottom. Apply at https://t.co/18GmmbLVoR and after you apply set up a zoom with you and your parents to tell you why we are the best choice to get to the next level.

How often do you see the head scout of a NBA franchise at an All Star game. Some of these so-called good players decided to skip the game……😒

Shoutout to the All City Classic (@PhillyUSABBall) for giving the players a chance to be seen like this.

7’0 Tammar Brown is regaining his confidence and work ethic back to normal. Here’s is a quick overview of his conditioning and training. You add this to his basketball workout and getting his 200-400 shots up daily. We are pushing harder than ever before so we expect for him to be ready for coach Speights at Polk State. @Mospeights16

[Sam Rines @CoachSamRines]

If you are considering a post grad and/or a prep basketball program, the coach should be marketing you before, during, and after the program. It amazes me how many coaches care more about winning than helping these kids find schools and scholarships.

You pay to play not sit on a bench or help sponsor the better players.

[Sam Rines @CoachSamRines]

It is essential for parents to be vigilant when receiving advice from third-party consultants or scouts, as some may provide guidance that serves their own interests rather than the best interests of the individual. The growing trend of kickbacks and selling players to programs that are not the best fit can have long-term consequences. As someone who has assisted several individuals in the past, I have seen firsthand the negative impact of prioritizing personal gain over the well-being of the individual.

Moving forward, I will be more selective in my dealings, prioritizing mutually beneficial relationships. Parents should focus on finding programs that fit their budget and meet their specific needs, and understand that each program has its own limitations and expectations. Coaches don’t want guys on the B team in a Post Grad program. Be careful and do your homework.

BJ Williams 6’3 combo/2G is stepping into the spotlight and everyone is taking notice. What I like about BJ is his IQ and his ability to score. He does a great job playing with and without the ball and his prolific jump shot.

The attraction with college coaches at the this stage of his career is his willingness to play the right way. His 4.2 GPA open doors beyond basketball.

Former @BurrsBasketball HC Miguel Bocachica (@coachboc) has been named the new head coach at @CATSBoston.

He was most recently HC of the City Reapers in @OvertimeElite. Bocachica led @WCPrep to an 84-82 overall record and two PIAA Class 3A titles in seven seasons

A true 2027

[Sam Rines @CoachSamRines]

He plays so hard and holds several D1 offers. He already bringing the coaches in the gym and no one can stop it. The SEC is the only league that hasn’t call yet.

[Sam Rines @CoachSamRines]

He’s what most coaches are looking for. Great hands as well. I think he will be my next NBA player

[Rocktop Academy @RocktopAcademy]

The launch of our inaugural high school program marks a major step forward for Rocktop as we enter the national prep basketball landscape. We expect this program to grow quickly and establish Rocktop among the premier high school programs competing on the national stage.

[Sam Rines @CoachSamRines]

I think he should waste no time and commit. Steve is a great coach that will allow him to play his game

[hawkhillhardwood @HHHardwood]

Korey Francis is a big time talent. St. Joe’s has been very active and consistent in his recruitment. Would be an insanely good pull in 2027 if the Hawks could pull it off.

@chickg3 @NikeEYB College coaches, Chick has on of the best eyes in the game. He’s everywhere he needs to be to compare the talent. Great job Chick
