Had a great first night of our feeder open gyms this summer. Big thanks to Coach Dryden for running the show! Next one is Wednesday from 6:30-8:00PM see you there!
Excited our guys get to get back in this awesome event. The MBCA guys do an incredible job running this and giving Midwest guys opportunities to get seen.
A 2027 @PHSVikingBBall ‼️
Catch him at the Midwest showcase June 13th and 14th. Senior year incoming!
All conference and district a year ago as a junior. GO VIKINGS!
Coaches love two-way players. Coaches will love 2027 @CordellDavis_1 (6'3). No one wants to win as badly as Cordell. He can fill the role of playmaker, stopper, and scorer from the lead guard spot. High ceiling guard 💯
RECRUITS: Let’s talk college JV programs…
- Don’t blindly apply your HS JV lens to every college opportunity
- EVERY program w/ a JV treats it different. Ask coaches how they use/view theirs.
- Some are *amazing development tools and highly valued!
- Yes, some are “money grabs”
Just LAST WEEK, when Kyle Busch won his 69th NASCAR Truck Series race, he was asked why these wins “never get old”
Kyle’s response?
“Because you never know when the last one is.”
And today, Kyle passed away at 41 🙏🏻
The best high school basketball teams I have been around are always the ones that have identified “roles” and each player buys into their role and accepts their role. Majority of the time this happens when all players care about winning instead of everything else.
A good high school basketball team doesn't need 5 scorers.
It needs a floor general, a lockdown defender, and somebody who knows their job is to rebound everything in sight.
Roles win games. Superstars are built out of teams that commit to those roles.

@CwellRay@UglyTow With all due respect @UglyTow is the best in the business at promoting kids….these events only care about making money which is fine….but let’s not talk crazy to people who are truly about kids.
I asked Shai Gilgeous-Alexander about instilling his younger teammates, like Ajay Mitchell and Jared McCain with confidence and whether he picked up that habit or learned it from his past Clipper vets or from guys like Chris Paul on the Thunder.
“I remember being a young player, it was always easier knowing that I had guys behind me that believed in me. That's what it's all about. When the best players believe in you, when people who have accomplished things believe in you, it's more of a confidence boost… I try to reverse it. Like if I were in their shoes, what would I need from me?”
