Sadly Home University has plenty spots. Especially in this portal age parents need a crash course in recruiting and a dose of reality if they want there kid to have a chance at the college level
Today, at this point in the year, a father of a senior basketball player emails me and asks for my help getting his son to a D1. Kid doesn’t have a single offer. Not one. Nothing. Dad says “we know his worth and nothing else will be enough”. Ok. Good luck sir. I’m not your guy.
@TweetsbyCoachP Accurate assessment Parents n athlete education is key. Covid year, NIL and the portal have changed the landscape. Sadly the high school athletes are the ones suffering. Chase your dream but be educated about it. Lack of education is why a lot of kids sitting sitting at home
My Son played @OCUmbball. People have no clue tough the NAIA and Sooner Athletic Conference is. Full of guys who can play. Don’t be fooled by the letters. Do you homework
I’m so sick of hearing people say “so and so can play NAIA”. Or they are an NAIA level player. Listen if you are 17-19 hs senior and can’t guard 22-26 year olds you can’t play at the NAIA level. It’s a grown man league!
Sounds like kids not getting proper advice. Odds highly likely he won’t get anything else time of year. Should’ve known you were juco before starting dialogue. SMH
Recruit: Wuz Up Coach
Me: What’s Good!
Recruit: Coach all I need is one opportunity.
Me: Ok cool, You got it!
Recruit: What level is your program?
Me: NJCAA D2
Recruit: Coach thanks for the opportunity but I’m not interested in JUCO at the moment.
Don’t Sleep On JC 🏀
PSA for college coaches and aspiring professional players ‼️
This “agent” is charging guys $150 just to talk, sent over a fake list of teams interested in the player & now asking for another $310 for Visa fee’s before next steps. Be careful.
Called him out now he’s blocked me.
@Dusty_Knows I think a lot of coaches would 100% take that body of work as their own if they could. But that doesn’t mean the front office doesn’t have a good reason to let him go.
Look don’t be fooled!
Plenty of guys at all levels are transferring because Coach told them their scholarship is NOT renewed! That’s FACT!
BUT
The guys leaving a scholarship to “explore”. Got bad advice!
That’s not “betting on yourself” that’s just not a smart business move!
