Only about 5% of high school hoopers play basketball in college. Take any & every offer and opportunity seriously.

[Derek Deprey @derekdeprey]

One day you’re gonna wake up and AAU basketball will be over. No more weekend tournaments, packed gyms, or team hotels. No more “one more game” next weekend.

One day you’ll be out of eligibility for high school basketball. Then college basketball too.

And eventually, the thing that feels like your whole world right now becomes a memory.

So stop playing scared. Shoot your shot. Sprint the floor. Dive on the loose ball. Compete with confidence. Enjoy your teammates. Because one day you’ll wish you could go back and play just one more game with them.

Fear and hesitation have ended way more careers than missed shots ever will.

Just something to think about.

[Steve Collins @TeachHoopsBBall]

A good high school basketball team doesn't need 5 scorers.
It needs a floor general, a lockdown defender, and somebody who knows their job is to rebound everything in sight.
Roles win games. Superstars are built out of teams that commit to those roles.

The NIL era is flipping the NBA Draft on its head.

Only 71 players entered the 2026 NBA Draft, per the NBA. Down from 106 last year and a peak of 363 in 2021.

That's the lowest early-entrant total since 2003.

College basketball stars are staying in school, overwhelmingly.

Reports say Iowa State transfer Audi Crooks is in for a $1.4 Million payday at Oklahoma State.

That would make Crooks the Third HIGHEST PAID Women's Basketball player IN THE WORLD this year (behind A'Ja Wilson & Aliyah Boston) (via @SkimMilkey)

[Coach Tom Barrick @Coach_Barrick]

Enuff Said!!!!!!

[Steve Collins @TeachHoopsBBall]

Your best player isn’t always the one who scores the most points. It’s the kid who sets screens to get others open, dives on loose balls, and leads with their voice in tough moments.
High school basketball rewards selflessness.

QUIET GYMS ARE LOSING GYMS

If you see something he can do better, build him up and help him with that." (Jon Scheyer)

I’m in an airport and the guy next to me has been watching videos with NO HEADPHONES. It’s so annoying. I finally took out my phone and started doing the same. But I made sure to slowly increase my volume over his. He looked over at me like he was super annoyed. And then turned off his phone. Maybe we just need to start matching the energy of these main character narcissists.
