Parker had a huge weekend in Tulsa. No surprise that his team won both games by double digits. He’s a WINNER! If you need a PG, he’s your guy!

Many don't have a clear vision for growth, missing opportunities to showcase skills. Shot selection is a major battle. Focused on efficiency and transparency to improve it. @CoachMitchRolls @ChipolaWBB @CoachHoffSMCC @SMCC_MBB @schafer50 @grego_collins @CoachKen_Smith

For guards under 6'0", being elite at something is key to reaching the next level. #BasketballRecruiting #PlayerDevelopment @CoachMitchRolls @ChipolaWBB @CoachHoffSMCC @SMCC_MBB @schafer50 @grego_collins @CoachKen_Smith @Coach_MBright

We look for grit, gratitude, and humility. Tough kids who get back up after adversity are essential for junior college. It's about resilience when knocked down. #Grit #Resilience #College @CoachHoffSMCC @SMCC_MBB @schafer50 @Coach_MBright @CoachKen_Smith @grego_collins

[Cory Hoff @CoachHoffSMCC]

Really enjoyed this conversation. Coach Schafer and Bright had some great questions and topics that we covered. Coach Rolls is a BIG time coach & learned a ton from him. Honored to be able to talk with these 3!

[Cory Hoff @CoachHoffSMCC]

Couldn’t be more excited to welcome Coach & Lydia to the Cougar family.

Quinn is a relationship builder, grinder, strong with X’s and O’s, & won’t be outworked as a recruiter.

Most importantly, he puts the players first. Can’t wait for the impact he’ll make on our program!

@CamFlabel @HPU_MBB Im the guy you’re looking for. Tough and pesty defensive minded PG. Put winning over stats my whole career. I love buying into a role and doing whatever it takes to win. Had a coaching change this past season and I bought in and helped change the program around going 25-5

Coach Hoff will pay for the 1st 50 students with an ID!

[Cory Hoff @CoachHoffSMCC]

To see what Travis accomplished this season, you don’t see the unseen hours he puts in. Just does whatever it takes to win. His growth & maturity is paying off. He has completely bought in to our scheme. Self sacrifice for team success. I couldn’t be more proud of Travis!

[Cory Hoff @CoachHoffSMCC]

Blake is the definition of selfless. He’s led us in scoring & the ACCAC in made 3’s while mostly coming off the bench. He doesn’t complain, just works. He cares about winning. I am incredibly proud of his accomplishment, even though he should be a 1st Teamer. Proud of you Blake!

Road games are street fights. Injured, missing guys, on the road - our guys didn’t take the excuse. They found a way to come together & get it done. 25-5 to finish the regular season. They’ve earned the right to play during the best time of the year - March! See you Thursday!
