I want to speak about how proud I am of our program after today! .There were 2 incidents this morning in Indy that involved fighting. 1 was between a parent on the other team in the stands and a ref then the kid got involved and the 2nd was in the handshake line a player on.

If you are a HS AAU program you should be at big exposure tournaments that’s all that matters when it comes to HS, especially 17U. These local tournaments with 8 weak teams is not going to cut it. Not doing anything for the kids as far as exposure and college offers ! #Priorities.

Lots of players and families think they should be on a circuit team if they don’t get 3SSb with Midwest. This right here is why that is NOT true. Our non 3SSb teams not only beat those circuit teams but they also produce scholarships!!!! 40 offers to non 3SSb players!!! .Come.
@MBCgrassroots 40 college offers from players that weren’t on 3SSB that means it doesn’t matter if you’re on 3SSB or a club team if you got talent we got the recourses to get you to college and live your dream 💯💯.

2021 players if you have a D2 offer and you are waiting on that D1 it is not coming this year. Take your D2 offer before it is too late. D1 coaches are going to look at transfer portal for 2021 class if they have not already offered you. You can still get to D1 through D2 first.

With all the new rules for eligibility at the college level it is vital that you are in a program during spring/summer that has the connections with coaches at ALL levels!!.Not just programs that say they have the connections either. They better have the track record to back up.

Why am I seeing so many tryouts for programs during the month of February for 15U-17U?! Athletes DO NOT go to these. You are not allowed to attend a tryout or workout even for a club until your HS season is over, this includes the tournament!! These programs should be ashamed.

Huge addition. This kid is someone who has been slept on so far during his HS career as he is a great baseball player. He is coming on board next spring because he is also an elite guard. He gets paint touches at will and plays with a high IQ to distribute the ball with his.
Joining us from Lakota West HS this upcoming season is @isaiahmm24! We are thrilled to add this versatile guard to our backcourt as he packs a punch with his scoring and is a strong defender on the perimeter. Super excited to see what Isaiah has in store for us!!
