What a journey @MylesJFernandez I couldn’t be more proud. 6 years together and now we turn to the page to the next chapter! How time flies. All the calls from your dad 🤦🏽♂️ keeping me up late🙄😆, to all the text msgs & calls with mom about recruitment, to all the camps and calls with college coaches have all lead to today! Your signing day! Your shining moment! You deserve this! Enjoy it bud, soak it up! You’ll always remember this moment. Always keep God first and never be satisfied with just enough! @HesstonMBB is getting a good one! Love ya big man! #proudcoach
@MylesJFernandez I’m so very proud of you young man! You deserve all that God has for you. Now it’s time to turn the page to the next chapter and continue writing your story! To God be the glory! Stay strong, stay humble and stay hungry! Go get’em Big Myles!
I heard a while ago that “dirty hard work in the dark” pays off. The hard things you do, that no one else is willing to do, while no one else is looking, when everyone else is sleeping, when everyone else is playing video games, when everyone else is complaining about what they don’t have is what matters the most! You’re the definition of a kid that does the “dirty hard work in the dark”. Extremely proud of you. #AnotherOne
Last week marked a monumental milestone for Darius and his family—he completed his final round of chemotherapy and is officially CANCER FREE! We're beyond proud of his incredible strength and resilience, and we can’t wait to see the amazing things he’ll achieve in the future.
I continue to be reminded how special of a 2024 group we had last season when I see posts like this. But @R_conrad3 is a little extra special. His commitment to developing as a player and as a student is second to none! I’m so excited for this young man’s future. @TU_Basketball and @JimmyBoxSmith is getting one of the top guards in the state of Texas in the class of 2024 at any level and that’s no joke. I’ll go to war with this kid any day of the week! Congrats @R_conrad3
District 23-5A MVP:

Congrats to @CrewFlowers proud of you big man! You’ve worked extremely hard for this opportunity and you’re more than deserving man! I know mom @ChristySmith10 and dad couldn’t be happier for you. This is a big time get for @coachlthornton and the @OBUMBB program! #GoTigers
I remember him coming out of High School. He went to ECU initially. Truth is he was a different player then opposed to now. Recruiting isn’t a perfect science and a kid’s work ethic and hunger to be great is typically not something a coach who sees him only a few times can evaluate. A kid’s desire to be the best is usually fueled by his circumstances and often times being passed up ignites that fire. @D1Tristen is exactly where God called him to be. No evaluator at that time could see that. Every kid’s journey is different. As evaluators we get some wrong and other times we get them right! That’s the nature of the business! He’s a dude for sure! But his work ethic, hunger to be great and the right program, teammates, situation and coaches developing him is the reason why he is who he is today. Doesn’t happen the same way for him if a high profile D1 takes him out of high school and puts him on the bench. He got to see the court early at ECU, developed his game. The transfer portal is the minor league system for ncaa athletics. Kids who aren’t ready for power 5 athletics can go mid to low major, even D2 or D3 in some cases, develop “on the court” against college level guys and level up to high major D1 if the opportunity presents itself. Every kid’s journey is different. Embrace what’s for you!

Coaches, 2025 Combo Guard @MylesJFernandez is box office! Silky smooth scorer who added about 7lbs of muscle to his frame over the past year. Elite level shooter who can score it in bunches! Defends well and for a scorer of his caliber, he has great court vision and loves to share the ball. Also has a 3.51gpa. Special kid here! @CoachK_SU @CoachRockSU @Coach_AFalke314@JimmyBoxSmith@cru_basketball@CoachMattGrahn@StanBonewitz@ETBU_MBSK
