My mom completes her move-in with me today. My mother was the addict of all addicts growing up. Being able to support her later in her life (22 years clean) is one of the greatest accomplishments of my life. For any kid in a tough home situation, it is possible!!!

My mom is 21 years sober today. Growing up, she was the “worst of the worst” from an addiction standpoint. To say I never thought this day could come is quite the understatement.

Wimberly Park Apts. Duncanville, TX on the corner of Link & Jellison is where I grew up. Drug addicted mom who relied on food stamps & gvmt aid. Formed the Wimberly Park Runnin Rebels with Johnny, Jabari, Marcus, & Cozea - who took me in as one of their own.
This is for THEM!!!

Kids,
WBB is NOT a revenue producing sport for 99.9% of the schools, it exists financially because of a law - Title IX.
This means the chances of you getting an endorsement deal are VERY SLIM!!
NOBODY hopes you get a deal more than me, but keep your EDUCATION the TOP PRIORITY!!

Most underrated thing about Dawn Staley is her in-game ability to manage her team and make adjustments. We all talk about her ability to recruit, but need to make sure we continue to recognize her ability as an ELITE basketball coach.
Updated Power Rankings: South Carolina and Stanford remain 1-2, and UConn is up to No. 3. But a pair of preseason top-five teams fell out of the top 16. Creighton, Utah and Maryland moved in.

"If you can't play for me, you can't play for us - you can't play anywhere at this level. Those 850 players in the portal? 300 of them are not going to find a school to go to"

For the first time in WBB history, we have more “qualified” players for each level than schollys. This has been the case on the mens side for a long time. I’m guessing that 200+ players in the portal will end up having to take loans for college. Hundreds more HS players the same.
