This is 💯! Not that a coach should be in it for credit. It’s just a good feeling when you know you’re coaching players who are grateful for the opportunities and caring for one another. Not just about ME and what do I get!
I’ve watched a ton of first session games across Nike EYBL, Adidas 3SSB, and Under Armour UAA. Here’s my honest takeaway:
Nike EYBL has the most talented and most skilled players, no debate. But there’s also a lot of low IQ basketball at times. Felt like I was watching the Houston Rockets every game. A lot of talent, a lot of chaos.
Adidas 3SSB has the best pure basketball product. High IQ plays, strong structure, and real offense being run. It looks the most like college basketball.
Under Armour UAA feels like a mix of both, but those kids play the hardest. There’s a real earned-not-given edge to that circuit. Tough, hungry players that compete like they’ve been overlooked their whole lives.
Nike has pros. (They also have the best shoes)
Adidas has the best watch for a basketball junkie.
UAA has that chip-on-the-shoulder feel.

2028 Lucas Snoody (SC Bluejays 2028) has shown himself to be one of the best point guards I’ve seen this spring. Impressive poise, handle vision, and discipline. More than capable of creating his own offense, but plays within his team’s offense structure. #PhenomChallenge
@5andon_@GatorsMemphis We highly recommend Landon. He is very coachable and gives 100% every time he steps on the floor. Landon has been a consistent scoring threat at the 1-2 and takes on tough matchups defensively when asked.

Fuller is an explosive athlete. He is https://t.co/C4YCCW8M5o his feet and does a good job of absorbing contact before finishing at the rim.

2026 Aj Williams (SC Blue Jays) was the catalyst today. Smaller guard but extremely productive. Quick off the dribble, was able to get paint touches when available, and also be a threat from multiple levels on the court. #PhenomQCShowcase
