Everyone wants to see shoe circuit vs shoe circuit... Alabama Fusion went 4-0 in the Atlanta EYBL session... but lost a week ago to non-shoe Georgia Knights. Wouldn’t that mean Georgia Knights is on the level as the top shoe teams? A lot of shoe teams hide behind sponsorships.

I promise I'm not picking on any high school coach when I say this... but you look really silly when you say things like "Y'all missed on my player. Keep sleeping!".... yet you don't have a roster, graduation years, footage, stats, schedule or anything on the entire internet.

This isn’t a popular opinion, but here goes:
Kids, don’t be afraid to post your highlights after a game that you didn’t win.
If it shows what you can do & it can help with recruitment, then post it.
Final score matters, but visibility matters too.
