When you know how to swim….the depth of the water doesn’t matter to you!

AAU Coaches need to be careful about over promoting players. Don't claim every player on your roster is a college player. Provide players with opportunity & let the college coaches evaluate. Don't over sell or exaggerate. The next level isn't easy & it is all about fit!

I would love to share our 6 #DMV
🐶🧩👑 commitments. But, I learned my lesson. 🤫

🚨 Update 🚨
One 2026 scholarship just opened up for a big/post (ONLY). Defenders and Rebounders. Let's eat 🍽️

Good thing we aren't in a shutdown.

[Coach Hicks @ItsCoachHicks]

Its good to have a support system, and people "helping" you.
But...You should learn how to speak (advocate) for yourself.

🗣️ I know 3 different 2026's I wanted to offer 💰🎓 since last summer...
After speaking to their coach, I NEVER heard from them. 🤷🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

🗣️Relationships matter

For example: I already know only 4 2027's can commit.
✅Relationships started LAST AAU
season
✅We stay in contact
✅ I don't NEED to see them during AAU
✅ ALL have been invited to campus this summer
✅ALL but 1 already has an offer

If you think JUCO is just a backup plan, and you don't understand how JUCO supplies a demand...then you are already many steps behind.

Knowledge/Goals/Action/Results

[Coach Winston @SAVAGEACEGB]

JUCO isn't the fallback it's the play!

[Adam Hood @CoachAHood]

No matter how good you are, in the wrong place, you won’t be valued properly.

[Coach Hicks @ItsCoachHicks]

Do you want Coach to come watch YOU play?

✅ Build real relationships:
🗣️ Remember...Investment
✅ Inform: Send CORRECT schedules/ info ASAP
🗣️Make it easy to see you.
✅Communication/Follow up/Confirm:
🗣️As you get closer to the date..reach out!
✅Produce: Coach is here to see YOU!
🗣️Give them a reason to come back!
