We couldn’t be happier! What an amazing day!
Speaking with a NBA Scout this morning, the

Houston's best recruiting class between 2015 and 2019 was ranked 62nd. It had two classes outside the top-100.
But the Cougars are winning anyway.
They are one of the top college hoops programs doing more with less. Who else made the list?

He took no short cuts..he just worked! He would do 3 workouts a days as a freshman in high school. No one outworked him! So happy to see all of his hard work paying off!
Day 3 at
@SnowValleyCamps
featured Coach Tate’s Locke Box Drills. Terrific drill series that emphasizes proper footwork, finishes, & shooting. We started to use this series in our Village Vikings practices this last year & it improved our players footwork a lot.
“Relationships with your players is more important than your X’s & O’s...Without a personal foundation, the smartest play or the best idea won’t matter. It’ll never get executed properly if the player & coach aren’t connected on another level.”
