Recruits, if you have a committable offer at this point, take it. Don't hold out until spring thinking you'll get something higher. The days of waiting to get a higher level offer are over. Colleges will be pursuing transfers in the spring. As a result, you'll go a level lower.

People think toughness is pounding your chest & talking trash. That’s not toughness. TOUGHNESS is: - Executing every time down the court - Locking in defensively, both on & off the ball - Communicating - Doing the little things every single time without expectation of praise

STUDENTS, don’t just do enough academically to be eligible. Your goal should be to excel. By barely being eligible, you limit the number of schools that can & will recruit you. Don’t have your list of options cut short from the start.

CHANGE OF PACE is so crucial to beating your defender. By going 1 speed, it makes it easier for the defender to stay in front. Change of pace freezes the defender, making him relax or raise up out of his stance, and when he does you explode past him.

Too often coaches try to check boxes on certain skillsets when recruiting, rather than getting guys who are proven WINNERS. There are several college players who contribute on winning programs who others passed up on because they lacked a perceived skillset. Winners translate.

Ask yourself, are you INTERESTED or COMMITTED? When you’re interested in something you do it only when it’s convenient When you’re committed to something, you do it ALL THE TIME. No exceptions. You do it when it’s hard, when you don’t feel like it, when others around you aren’t

I've had college coaches tell me "This player won't respond back to me. We're going to move on." Recruits, if you're unsigned & have no committable offers at this point of your senior year, you are in no place to "big time" a school because of their level.

In order to be productive at the next level, you have to learn to play in the half court. You have to be able to execute in the half court & score within the framework of the offense. You aren't able to solely rely on transition baskets once you get to college.

Hit Your Teammate in the Numbers On Time. On Target. The difference between an open shot & contested shot = A Good Pass When you hit your teammate in the numbers he has time to get the shot off cleanly A poor pass disrupts the shooter's rhythm & the defense is able to contest

The Importance of Being Shot Ready & Making Quick Decisions 1. Be shot ready on every catch. Forces the defense to respect you. 2. Make a decision on 0.5 seconds. 3. Keep the ball hot. Make the defense play in rotation. 4. Forcing the defense to scramble leads to open shots.

POST POSITIONING As a post player, you want to seal your defender as deep as possible. The deeper/better your position, the easier it is for you to score. Be in a low, strong stance & create contact with the defender. Use your butt to drive out the defender's knees.
