This group has grown up before our eyes this year. In the midst of the highest expectations, they’ve grown closer and more convicted in their pursuit of goals that are much bigger than any one individual. I’m so grateful that I get to share this journey alongside them.

🗣️🏀 Rankings PSA. Every year there are kids who completely defy the rankings…. …they use them as fuel to reach new heights and EARN the opportunities they want for themselves…. …others get distracted, rest, blame, excuse, compare, down talk. … which one will you be?.

How accurate do rankings end up being in the end?. Early rankings (incoming freshmen) are the least accurate long term. Limited live evaluations, fragmented AAU market, early developers, all pose challenges for rankings early. By the spring of junior year (cont).

Do prospect rankings impact your recruitment?. 👉 No college is going to offer you based on a ranking, or not recruit you based on a lower ranking than you think you should have. Your perceived upside and production during live evaluations are leading factors in your recruitment.
