🏀 D1 — ESPN, NIL, and hotel waffles.

🏀 D3 — Books, buckets, and balance.
🏀 NAIA — Where “grind” is a personality trait.
🏀 JUCO — Where you either blow up or burn out. 🔥
The Big Day‼️ Looking at these videos of me just starting out and knowing the work I put in to get me to signing a LOI for a full athletic scholarship, I couldn’t be more happier. All are welcome to join me at the Lighthouse Gymnasium 6/20/26 at 2 pm located on Shepherdsville RD in Louisville, KY. I will provide light snacks.

I get that part of the coaching process is buddies hiring buddies..but DANG.. on both the Men’s and Women’s side I have seen so many people denied a job because it’s based on who you know instead of WHO YOU ARE!
Y’all are missing out on some great people!
Cori Close: “Coach Wooden always said, ‘You gotta do it the way you’re wired to do it, not the way anyone else is.’ I just tried imperfectly to stay true to that.”
In case any coaches still have doubts about recruiting JUCO late… the most dominant player on the most dominant team in the country was looking for a chance 4 years ago. So proud of him, others- if you want it, go get it! @Yaxel_Lendeborg
