When you have a game when you obviously didn’t play well,you make no excuses,look in the mirror and go back to have to have a short memory and go to the next game.”It is what it is”

If you don’t have kids competing in college, you don’t understand the anguish and nerves you feel when you watch them play.Tomorrow my daughter Bailey plays against Kansas State and my son Coleman plays against Ohio university and I will be a nervous parent watching on TV

I want to wish my son Coleman a Happy 19th Birthday. I am extremely proud of my son for accepting the challenge of playing for the U of Illinois and the Big Ten. He has been gone since July ,Covid has stopped us from seeing him,people don’t understand the sacrifice

I am currently watching the Kansas game and I am certain that they did not wake up today feeling that they would lose by a large margin. Every basketball player, every team,takes an ass whooping sometimes. On to the next one!

Just represent your University and the team.Most of those people can care less about you as a person.They care only about basketball.

My message is not about my son,I ask trainers,coaches,and overly involved dads”Where did you play” and I have found that the most critical people have never played basketball😂

New AAU dads,leave your score book at home,college coaches will never ask you about it.The leading scorer does not equate to guaranteed offers and if your child is not enjoying the experience,it may be pressure from you

The student body voted for the on campus arena in 1988.Everyone who played at the Sports Arena should feel proud today.Aztecs Baby!

Looking back at things,my son faced questions for choosing Dream Vision,Prolific Prep and U of Illinois.He has 5 former teammates that are involved with the NBA Draft process.What of blessing to be surrounded by so much talent.Good Luck to all of them!

As you can tell, I know who we are dealing with with all those negative comments so silence prevails in my camp.I’m a child of the 70s from the south side of Chicago where we were raised with class

Please don’t ask for help with recruiting your kid and then say you want them to stay “close to home”I can’t help you.All four of my own kids took scholarships out of state

Just some friendly advice for parents with kids entering High School.Your kid does not have to play varsity as a freshmen to be recruited.Not one college coach will ever ask you about it,only people in the barber shop care about that.

Most kids playing college ball don’t know what “Blue Bloods” mean and that was not the reason for choosing their ’s a middle age term that is stuck in the 80’s and 90’s

New athletes on campus,don’t talk about the schools that you could have went to, focus on where you are and be blessed.

One dunk,Euro-step or breaking someone’s ankle does not generate offers,play some Defense and rebound
