I moved to Georgia with $2400, a cousin that blessed me with a room at his house, and a part time job in a field I had no clue about. No real plans. Only a prayer and hard work. My guy JY
was the one to take a chance on me and the rest was history. I’m thankful for the journey.

The NCAA issued another blow for upcoming prospects with their extension of the dead period to January 1st. Much like this travel ball season, it’s important for high school teams to invest in live streaming to give their prospects a chance to be seen.

There will be a ton of prospects whose phone will not ring at all tomorrow. That's ok too. It's not a race. You don't have to compare yourself to your peers. Log off, and get back to work. Trust that your time is going to come.

Coaches are evaluating you the minute you start unpacking your car. How you interacted with your family that brought you...did you introduce yourself to your other teammates...Did you go straight to the gym afterwards..
You are now on the clock. You are now apart of a business.

I think players fail to realize that some coaches are looking for reasons why they SHOULDNT offer you a scholarship. Especially low major guards. Sometimes the smallest thing could get you checked off so they can move on to the next. Separate yourself
