We all should be so fortunate to have a coach or mentor feel about us the way that Steve Kerr feels about Steph Curry.

There should be times where kids aren’t coached by adults.
Play pickup. No adult instruction.
Call your own fouls. No refs.
Argue about the ball going out of bounds.
Shoot for who gets to keep it.
Keep your own score.
Winner stays on. Losers sit. Next five up.
Compete!

Great players want to WIN more than they want to post huge individual stats.
Great players want to play with other talented players to be at their best.
Great players understand that playing with the right talent around them only enhances their game & performance.

With the boom in the Transfer Portal, any college MAKING the effort to come evaluate potential recruits play means more than ever.
If you are a ‘23 or ‘24 and a college is coming to see you play at an NCAA event, that means you are a real priority on their list.
Pay attention.

Recruits
You will NOT fit in every coaches program & scheme.
You will NOT get an offer from every school who recruits you.
But that does NOT mean you cannot hoop.
Stay PATIENT.
Find a program that you love who ALSO loves you.
When it happens, it’s the BEST of both worlds.

I just watched one of the best Final Four’s of my lifetimes & a title game in ABC.
LSU scored 100+ in a title game. Unprecedented. Record breaking.
Yet my whole timeline is full of racial debates & talk.
No mention of how good LSU’s offense was…
This isn’t it people. At all.

I’ve been in the recruiting business for 22 years.
Most days, it doesn’t make sense to me.
And it shouldn’t make sense to you either.
Sit 10 coaches at a game and you’ll get 10 different opinions of what they see.
Beauty is in the eye of the person watching.
STAY THE COURSE!

I do NOT care how good your club team is…
It is almost impossible to get scholarship offers if you don’t play 8-10 minutes or more in every game.
College coaches don’t have to take risks anymore. They can take transfers.
YOU. HAVE. TO. GET. PLAYING. TIME.

If a child makes a decision to play somewhere else, congratulate them & wish them well.
That’s a hard call to make especially if they like you and value the relationship that has been built.
Do NOT make that moment any harder for them than it already is!!!

Notice to ALL HS coaches & Club Directors:
Unless the kids who play for you are actually your own children or you have legal custody…
THEY ARE NOT YOUR PROPERTY!!!!
Families & kids are going to and should look at what makes the most sense for them annually.
It’s that simple.

I’ve heard a LOT the past 10 days about Paige Bueckers is elite because she plays for UConn.
That’s disrespectful.
She’s elite because she’s both talented & hard working.
Biggest game of her career:
28 points
10-22 FGA
As a freshman at that.
Show her the respect she’s due.

To all my people who work with kids and/or in sports:
Don’t let the ups and downs of dealing with adult nonsense from time to time make you jaded.
When done right, we make an impact on kids lives that last forever with our actions on a daily basis.
That’s extremely powerful.

Playing hard is a skill.
Being a great teammate without being told to be is a skill.
Competing on days when you don’t feel like being there is a skill.
Talking on both ends of the floor is a skill.
Leading from the front is a skill.
Rebounding is a skill.
THOSE. KIDS. WIN.

The recruiting game is different right now.
Playing quality minutes for a brand name program that colleges trust to have talent is important.

The way college coaches are moving nowadays recruits should return every call or text.
If you aren’t interested in their current school, let them know.
They could very well be at your dream school that next year or when you decide to transfer.
They won’t forget your maturity.

Biggest piece of advice I can give the next generation…
If you’re talented enough & you’ll work hard enough, DO NOT give up before you reach that goal.

Invest your time. Invest your resources.
Eventually you’ll land on the yes you need for everything to takeoff!

The Transfer Portal is changing the game…

If a college has offered and doesn’t come to see you, they have other offers out to kids they like just as much if not more.

The two most asked questions I get from coaches after they read a report on a player who catches their eye:

2) Who has offered them?

If you don’t play club with other kids who are at your level or even more talented, you are doing yourself a disservice.
