Guys, I don’t know how else to say this, but if you aren’t ecstatic about Acuff, you’re doing it wrong.
Wins and losses this year are meaningless. Don’t even sweat it.
All that matters is establishing a piece like Acuff, one we’ve never had before like THIS. Kid is special.
He can’t play D. Who cares, neither can Steph, Dame, AI, Brunson, and a bunch of others.
Play the kids. Let Acuff become a monster.
THAT’S all that matters this season.
It’s the basketball forest for the trees.
All performing music they made in their 20’s - it’s so dope to see rappers grow up and evolve as people. I was a fan of all 3 and who would’ve thought then they’d be where they are today. Absolutely amazing show last night @sc
I saw 3 of my favorite artists from childhood on the same stage tonight smh insane.
hov, snoop and dre all healthy still doing what they love. that’s dope af..
I agree - I went to both nights - what I learned - 400’s in SoFi never again. Was in the 100’s night 2 and it was amazing. Good vibes, great music, sound was good as well. Dead Presidents was a highlight for me!
I ain’t gonna hold you…I really really enjoyed the second night lmao.
that’s what a concert is supposed to be. a great set by an artist and a couple dope ass guest appearances.
@iamphella You couldn’t hear the lyrics at all to that song in the 400 section - just the band. Hopefully @sc fixes the sound issues for tonight. I still enjoyed parts of the show when you could hear the lyrics - but at some points it was exceptionally bad becuase you couldn’t hear him
I’ll second this - I’m a huge Jay fan and my wife and I always planned on going to night 2, last minute allowed us to go to night 1 as well. The sound quality was awful in the 400’s - it honestly made the show tough to enjoy. Some in our section left early - it was bad
Tonight was my first time in SoFi stadium for JAY Z 30 and I got a ticket in the 500s and I will NEVER do that again!! The audio quality was horrible! I could barely understand what he was saying cause the audio was so unclear. We were literally hearing the echo. No way SoFi
All facts - I hate that we met @stknsoldiers and @baycitygirlsbb so late in my kids process - but I’ll always tell parents about these programs on the boys side and girls side. The individuals running these programs are full of experience and also class acts as humans
Dear AAU Parents,
Please take a little advice from a parent who has been around AAU basketball as a Coach & parent for 20+ years.
Stop chasing imaginary rankings from paid services
like PGH and cool social media posts from programs that over hype players on socials because that is all they can offer. Don't get caught up with trainers who are only worried about your children when they are in their gym.
Ask real questions of program directors about approach on player development,
college relationships and track record of getting players to college programs. Ask directors about recruiting plans for their players. Pay attention to programs that retain players and are not out recruiting over entire rosters year over year. Track record & trust between families & programs matters; especially in a rapidly changing recruiting landscape, you better be with a program that is committed to all their players and not just a few high profile girls.
The top of EVERY circuit has really good players/teams but the bottom of EVERY circuit has bad teams too. Being on an EYBL or 3SSB team, and playing 6-8 mpg can really hurt your recruitment. Not every program is a fit for every player/family but PLEASE do your homework!!
Have honest discussions about potential level of play in college and where your child might fit. Be very weary of anyone who only talks about D1.
Winning games in AAU is nice and hopefully your daughter is competitive and wants to win but it ultimately doesn't mean anything and not many college coaches are paying attention to the score unless one team is getting smoked. In fact, a coach might pay more attention to how your daughter is acting as a player when they are losing vs how they are playing in a 25pt win.
Good luck to all as the girls get prepared for the High School season.

@heykevinjohn Ask them to define influential - because I’m assuming he knows who Michael Jackson is; meanwhile I know A LOT of people with no idea who iShowSpeed is
