When A.J. Dybantsa was still in high school, the top recruit's dad wanted to know why Kelvin Sampson and Houston were no longer recruiting his son. The UH coach had to be real with him. https://t.co/mS4q8sfxiR

College Coaches! I am semi-retired! I do NOT operate a scouting service, but I do have every cell number you need to have. Don’t waste my time if you see me during the live period!

Everyone loves the 2026 NBA Draft class.

But very few people want to give American grassroots basketball credit for developing it.

After spending the last decade scouting on both sides of the Atlantic, here's why I believe the criticism of AAU and grassroots basketball has gone too far.

A woman hiking in Canada nearly became a grizzly’s next meal and the video circulating right now is genuinely one of the most intense wildlife encounters you will ever watch - her dog is with her, a massive grizzly is right there, and somehow she kept her head together long enough for both of them to walk away breathing.

That is not a small thing. Most people talk tough until nature is standing ten feet in front of them and every instinct in your body is screaming to run, and running is exactly the worst thing you can do.

Grizzlies are built to chase, they top out over 700 pounds and can cover ground faster than any human alive. The people who survive these moments are the ones who override pure fear with pure discipline and this woman did exactly that.

If you hike, camp, or spend any real time in the wilderness - bear spray is not optional, it is the difference between a story you tell and one somebody else tells about you.

Could you have kept your cool?

Hats off to her.

💔 BREAKING UPDATE: The devastation in Venezuela is almost unimaginable.

Two powerful earthquakes struck just minutes apart, leaving buildings collapsed, families trapped beneath the rubble, and desperate loved ones searching for survivors.

The U.S. Geological Survey has warned the disaster could ultimately claim between 10,000 and 100,000 lives, though officials have not yet confirmed a death toll. (Reuters)

Please keep the people of Venezuela, the first responders, and every family still waiting for news of a loved one in your prayers. ❤️🇻🇪
