University of Houston coach Kelvin Sampson says guard Kordel Jefferson earned being one of the first subs in for season opener with how hard he practiced. "I don't think you have any credibility as a coach unless practice matters," Sampson says. "Practice matters. You've got an opportunity to help yourself in practice. Kordel had a great week of practice (before the opener).
"We've got some other guys having great weeks of practice this week that I'm going to reward. But every day is a competition. We're competing every day. . . There are certain guys that stand out to me by giving maximum effort and embracing pain. Embracing hard."
How do you get your players to play hard

Many have asked how to help & as such I’ve started raising funds to support my parents during this incredibly tough time. Any donation in his memory will make a huge difference
Thank you so much
