Conversations meant to empower parents and players about the game behind the game

No to critique means yes to bullshit

U don’t hold a trophy up to keep saying look what I did

U hold a trophy up to remember what u had to go thru to get it

HS over!! No one care what u did no more. Your teammate next level did what u did! How u goin separate

Bobby Maze Sam Young Chris Howard, I think Kenny Hasbrouk went prep! Great moves by them.

[Stanley Hodge @GameRelatedShow]

Why do we keep acting like reclass is a new concept! Schools like WJA and Mater DEI recommend it 15+ years ago and showed data on boys doing better academically because of it.

All the guys that prepped in my era did well because of it too!

#reclass #hooptalk #nil

Makes it easy to recruit players, look at where my guys played after here. Their role is a pit stop. They know it and own it. Ain’t no team building in college sports!

[Dan Furman @Dan_Furman]

Every single player on the MAAC All-Conference Team is gone.

Nobody is talking about how the transfer portal is killing mid major teams. 🧵👇

Whatever sells and trends is what most are on

[Aaron Proia @pr0ia]

Scouts that only write about 5-stars are a cancer to our game, AAU and college coaches need to stop buying what they’re selling. Because we know parents won’t.

[Stanley Hodge @GameRelatedShow]

Who’s fault is that? Media gotta take some responsibility in this and most folks behind the lens don’t have a hoop background so they gonna post highlights to collab and get they name up! Until that changes, this will keep happening. Kids too young to not repost it #aau #nil

[James Purchin @JamesPurchin]

I watched AAU basketball all weekend.

I left with bad news for most players:

Too many are building highlight reels before they’re building winning habits.

The game ends. They lose. And before they’ve watched film or owned what needs to change…

The post is already up.

The highlight clip.
The posed photo.

Everyone wants exposure.

But exposure doesn’t fix bad shot selection.
It doesn’t make you defend.
It doesn’t teach you how to impact winning.

The camera should document the work.
It shouldn’t become the reason for the work.

[Stanley Hodge @GameRelatedShow]

Knowing the amount of teams we have in the DMV Bmore area, u can see the gaps in every team.

If we had less teams, each program would be that much better.

Catch 22 on both sides. Teams will get better but some players may not show their game!

I can see Lewis Uvwo reclassifying up and going to college next year. He’s that good on the defensive end!

[Dennis Marshall @mar5hallhoops]

Some of us can get things out of players others can’t. Many players out there got stuff in them they don’t have a chance to let out and show.

🚨🚨THIS IS WILD🚨🚨

Iconic #Steelers cornerback Mel Blount still wakes up at 5 in the morning and has an insane workout even though he is almost 80 years old.

🤯

The Blount family says that he still trains like he is gearing up for games every week. https://t.co/Kf9O5nIFvp

[Stanley Hodge @GameRelatedShow]

Will you risk your kids happiness in order to change your family’s lifestyle because of NIL?

Tell your kid take the money even if they won’t be happy sitting on the bench?

Will the kid understand the sacrifice later on or resent that u stalled his career?

[Gee McCaslin @prospectu_gee]

Why did I watch the EYBL session in DC and some of your more elite players have over 10 turnovers alone.

But these the kids making the top 100?

[Stanley Hodge @GameRelatedShow]

Melo gets Durant 17U

Terrence Jones III keeps applying pressure! Real Deal
Jordan Taylor is a walking double double. Limited Beau Daniels on the boards. He just effects winning
Carter Fisk got it going today!

We know why this was a big W for them!

#eybl #melo #cityseries

[Stanley Hodge @GameRelatedShow]

Melo

Want more from Carter Fisk. Can play make well 6 dimes. He is Key in Melo’s half court O!

Terence Jones III sticky hands (6 steals) 18 and 4

Jordan Taylor double double 14/10

Ian Condon had 15 build like to see him board more

Game of the Night TTO vs Melo

Thought Melo was about to put TTO away in the 3rd Q but TTO got back in the game from defensive intensity.

1 play stood out was Lonnie Lyons going after the ball and diving on the floor late in the 3rd from a near steal. Team rallied after that

[Stanley Hodge @GameRelatedShow]

Xavier Skipworth (22) and Brian Mitchell Jr (10) consistently made big shots.

Simas Kacerauskas had 8 & 8 boards

Chiezikom Etolue 9 and 5 boards

Lonnie Lyons finished 10, 7 boards. Must shoot the 3 better.

#tto #eybl #cityseries

[Stanley Hodge @GameRelatedShow]

Andrew Kretkowski stood out for Final. Would like to see them shoot the 3 better! Looking for them to bounce back next game!

17U Team Final started 8-0 but Durant fought back 2 win

Beau Daniels (18)

Balance was key in the victory

Brandon Woodard Christian Proctor and Isaiah Carpenter make it tough for u with their length. Nothing crazy stat wise but impact heavy

Veney (10) and McKnight (12)
#eybl

[Stanley Hodge @GameRelatedShow]

Durant fought hard but struggled in the half court. It’s early but roles don’t look defined just yet.

Liked the efforts shown by Jayden Betz and Khyair Phillips

Truth Kelly was big inside with 14 and 7!

#Durant #Eybl #cityseries #16U

[Stanley Hodge @GameRelatedShow]

Melo 16s were too much for Durant! Great team win

Nash Avery looked very much as advertised!

Eyan Valadez did a great job running the show w/ 19 points and 7 dimes

Billy Stanfield does the little intangibles to help u win. 8 boards, 10 points
