Rocky River football coach Kenneth McClamrock moved one of his players into his home after discovering that the player was homeless.

He said these stories are sadly much more common than you think.

Full story below.

[Luke Falk @coachlukefalk]

Every training camp I had at Washington State University, Coach Leach would share the same story.
The story of two kids. The rich kid and the poor kid.

The rich kid has two choices. He can become spoiled, entitled, lazy, and expect everything to be handed to him because he has been given more. Or he can take every advantage of what he has been given—resources, coaching, opportunities—and use it to become even better.

The poor kid has two choices too. He can say, “I never had a chance. Nobody gave me anything. The world is against me.” He can feel sorry for himself and use it as an excuse. Or he can say, “I may not have what they have, but I am going to outwork everybody.” He can become tougher, more driven, and more relentless than everybody else.

It was a powerful message in a locker room full of people from different backgrounds, different families, and different life experiences. Some guys came from wealth. Some came from almost nothing. Some had every opportunity. Others had to fight for every inch.

But despite all of those differences, everybody still had the same choice.

You can take ownership and use what you have as fuel.

Or you can become victim-minded. You can look for excuses, blame your circumstances, become entitled, and convince yourself that because of what you have—or because of what you do not have—you cannot become what you want to be.

It is not about how you start. It is about what you choose to do with how you start.

The rich kid can waste what he has been given or use it to build something greater. The poor kid can use his circumstances as an excuse or as fuel.

In the end, greatness does not come from starting with more or less. It comes from which person inside of you that you choose to feed.

Minnesota’s Cade Tyson is one of the most underrated prospects in the 2026 NBA Draft.

Tyson was one of the most efficient players in the country where he averaged averaged 20/5/2 on a 50/41/82 splits.

Tyson’s mix of high level cutting, shooting, finishing, and connective passing at 6’7 makes him an extremely valuable wing. Tyson has elite instincts as a cutter where he finished in the 97th percentile while also being a strong driver at the rim who can finish through contact and draw fouls. Tyson is also great at getting to his spots on his own. As a shooter Tyson was one of the most efficient spot up shooters in the country where he ranked in the 97th percentile and he’s also a skilled connective passer.

Tyson was the also only High Major player in college basketball this season to shoot 70% at the rim on 100 attempts, and 40% from three on 100 attempts.

Today at 1:44 pm, Gary Woodland will tee off at The Masters. It’s been less than three years since he had a lesion removed from his brain, but the tough journey since has proven that courage and pain can live side by side. His story:

The @NCHSAA is playing a 1pm Wednesday Western Regional game at Lenoir Rhyne with West Charlotte

These kids and families deserve so much better than this time slot. No team should be playing at 1pm on a Wednesday

Failure in leadership and understanding who they serve

KIDS and FAMILIES First

If the Hornets ever start winning on a regular basis and get on national TV on a regular basis, LaMelo will elevate into the top 20 debate. Man just plays so free and is just plain fun to watch.

[Mr PitBull Stories @MrPitbull07]

“I delivered a pepperoni pizza to a house last night. Total was $18.50. An elderly man opened the door. He moved slow. The house was dark. "My wife used to handle the money," he apologized, fumbling with a jar of coins. "She passed last week. I just... I didn't know how to cook." He poured the coins onto the porch table. Pennies, nickels, dimes. "Is it enough?" he asked, voice shaking. "I can look for more." It was maybe $6 in change. I looked at him. I looked at the cold, dark house. "Actually, sir," I said. "It's your lucky day. We have a special for seniors tonight. It's on the house." I pushed the coins back toward him. "Really?" his eyes watered. "Really. And hey, I get off shift in 30 minutes. Do you mind if I come back and eat a slice with you? I hate eating alone." He smiled. A real smile. "I'd like that, son. I'll leave the light on." We sat on his porch and talked about his wife for two hours. The pizza was cold. But the company was warm. I paid for the pizza out of my tips. Best $18.50 I ever lost.”

[KJ @KJScouting]

Minnesota 6’7 Wing Cade Tyson has been one of the most impressive players in college basketball so far this season.

Through his first five games Tyson is averaging 23/4/1 while shooting 53% from the field and 39% from three on 6 attempts a game.

Tyson has been one of the most polished and consistent scorers this season with his ability to effectively score with and without the ball. He’s a high level catch and shoot shooter and cutter who has great instincts on where to be and he’s doing it with elite efficiency. He’s currently shooting 72% at the rim and 39% from three.

Tyson has been one of the biggest breakout players so far this season and his mix of shooting, finishing, and off ball instincts at his height makes him an extremely valuable player.

“Rarely have we seen a takedown of a league commissioner as calmly or efficiently delivered. The fact that it came from Napheesa Collier, one of the league’s best players and most respected voices, only amplified its impact.”
