[Coach Jeff Barnes @JeffBarnes52]

As an AD, I sometimes laugh when I’m accused of caring more about one sport than another. The reality is simple, we want every program to succeed. Every team matters. In today’s world, some sports naturally gain more attention due to participation numbers, community interest, and success. That visibility is not created by favoritism, it is earned over time. Success does not happen because an AD cares more about one sport, it happens because athletes, coaches, and programs commit to doing things the right way day after day.

[Coach Jeff Barnes @JeffBarnes52]

As an AD, one of the biggest challenges is understanding what athletes and parents truly want. Everyone says they want to win, but too often the communication I receive is centered around why practice is being missed, why workouts can’t happen, or why the commitment isn’t possible.

Winning is rarely about what happens on game day, it’s built in the unseen hours of preparation, consistency, and sacrifice. You cannot claim to want success while consistently avoiding the work required to achieve it.

Too often, “we want to win” really means “we want the rewards of winning without the discomfort of earning it.” When that gap exists, the blame often shifts to the coach instead of the habits.

Great programs are built when athletes, parents, and coaches all align in understanding that commitment comes before results. Wanting to win and being willing to do what it takes to win are two very different things.

Breaking: A'ja Wilson, the WNBA's first-ever four-time MVP, is signing a three-year, $5 million supermax contract to return to the Las Vegas Aces, sources tell @ShamsCharania and @Andraya_Carter.

The deal is the largest in WNBA history to date.

[KJ @KJScouting]

19 year old 6’7 Guard Kameron Taylor is one of the most intriguing longterm NBA Draft Prospects.

For the season Taylor averaged 19/5/3 while also averaging 22/4/3 while shooting 47% from the field an 35% from three on 5 attempts a game in Big South play.

Taylor is one of the quickest players in college basketball at 6’7 who uses his mix of speed, first step, and vertical athleticism to be one of the most intriguing scorers in college basketball. Taylor uses his athleticism to get to the rim and draw fouls at an elite level, where he shot 59% at the rim on 188 attempts. Taylor is also a high level mid range scorer for his height who also has great touch on his floaters. Taylor’s mix of athleticism, pace, and versatile scoring helped him be one of the efficient PNR scorers in CBB where he finished in the 90th percentile in PNR play on 103 attempts. Taylor is also a skilled passer for his height who can create scoring looks for his teammates, or find an open player with his passing vision, Taylor also does this without turning the ball over.

Taylor’s mix of 3 level scoring potential, athleticism, defensive upside, free thro drawing, pace, and playmaking for his size and age is extremely valuable and he has one of the highest ceilings of any player in college basketball.

Taylor was one of 5 underclassmen in CBB this season who had an AST% of 15, make 35 threes or more, and had 15 dunks or more, joining AJ Dybantsa, Cam Boozer, Nolan Minessale, and Tyler Tanner.
