I am excited and blessed to announce that I am committing to Saint Vincent College to continue my education and basketball career. Special thanks to @CoachRWise for giving me this great opportunity!
Steve Kerr's comments about AAU Basketball.
“Even if today’s players are incredibly gifted, they grow up in a basketball environment that can only be called counterproductive. AAU basketball has replaced high school ball as the dominant form of development in the teen years. I coached my son’s AAU team for three years; it’s a genuinely weird subculture. Like everywhere else, you have good coaches and bad coaches, or strong programs and weak ones, but what troubled me was how much winning is devalued in the AAU structure. Teams play game after game after game, sometimes winning or losing four times in one day. Very rarely do teams ever hold a practice. Some programs fly in top players from out of state for a single weekend to join their team. Certain players play for one team in the morning and another one in the afternoon. If mom and dad aren’t happy with their son’s playing time, they switch club teams and stick him on a different one the following week. The process of growing as a team basketball player — learning how to become part of a whole, how to fit into something bigger than oneself — becomes completely lost within the AAU fabric.”
Just let me get this out one last time Mountaineer nation. The fact that these 5 players could have all possibly been playing together, let alone on the court at the same time leaves me at a loss. I don't think anyone would of been able to beat them. #HailWV 😔
