One day you’re gonna wake up and AAU basketball will be over. No more weekend tournaments, packed gyms, or team hotels. No more “one more game” next weekend.
One day you’ll be out of eligibility for high school basketball. Then college basketball too.
And eventually, the thing that feels like your whole world right now becomes a memory.
So stop playing scared. Shoot your shot. Sprint the floor. Dive on the loose ball. Compete with confidence. Enjoy your teammates. Because one day you’ll wish you could go back and play just one more game with them.
Fear and hesitation have ended way more careers than missed shots ever will.
Just something to think about.
@JeffBarnes52 We had honest discussion with team about it this year. Acknowledged the difference in how each generation viewed it. But also pointed out that the "decision makers" were of our generation - not their's - and they needed to be aware of the perception that losing didn't matter
As an AD, nothing bothers me more than seeing a kid post highlights within an hour after a loss. I get it, that is the world now, but nothing screams me over team louder. Winning matters. So does how you handle losing.
Blessed to announce that I’m committing to Walters State Community College!
Thank you to every school that reached out and showed love throughout this process. Truly grateful for the opportunities.
Big thank you to God for guiding me every step of the way, and to Coach Nichols for being intentional with me from start to finish.
Let’s work! 💪🏾

Tennessee State HC Nolan Smith on the pursuit of wanting to get back to March Madness
“I’m excited to see how we get another group that’s just like these guys. This is where my staff and I want to be. These guys set the bar really high. Like Coach K told me, go get some players. At the end of the day the players make the coach.”
This is a HEAVY quote here that many people need to hear
“If you disappear on a guy when he makes a mistake, I’m not so sure that’s a genuine relationship you built”
Let this sink in
