Alma College ‘25 🏀

It was somehow destined for this. Few more beloved teammates to have played for Parallel 45, Cade Conley and Carson Voss meet as football foes Friday for WMU and MSU. In their P45 days, for every bit of their coaches' ire drawn, which was far from uncommon, Cade and Carson were given back from their teammates 10x the gratitude and mirth. Younger brothers sturdy and loyal. And sturdy was needed, both on a strong AAU circuit and as the vanguard of the covid HS / college portal graduating in 2021. To win three years with the same core is hard to do and these guys were crucial, programs can't do that without Cade and Carson maxing out their roles. Their stars aligned in the 16U Brawl 4 the Ball, Carson getting his first game dunk, and Cade hitting the championship game winner. Here are Conley and Voss still balling. Their once critic couldn't be prouder. Earned the hard way, P45 Legends.

Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.

Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry.

At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.

Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.

My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.

So many Parallel 45 fraternal combos over the years, Sunday was an end of the line for two legacies, the last AAU games for younger brothers Drake Koepke (Reese, current Charlevoix girls varsity coach) from Bellaire and Sam Gadde (Paul, current Alma College player) from Alma. Drake's dad Paul Koepke also coached with P45 for many seasons. These families gave a lot to the program, thank you.

[Bank Hoops - Stephen Bell @BankHoops]

That last post reminds me, we should have a Parallel 45 brothers 2-on-2 tournament. The team in-fighting would be epic.
