NXT Level Hoops

23-6A Offensive Player of the Year & First Team All District. Blessed to receive these honors as a SOPHOMORE !!! Time to continue to perfect my work.

Who’s building relationships with Division II and JUCO coaches for the players who didn’t get “noticed” at that circuit event? Or is the plan just: “We played on the circuit. Hope somebody saw you.” This is definitely the plan 👆🏽🤣🤦🏾‍♂️ Exposure without advocacy is lazy.

Because let’s be honest… A college coach might come to see your team and like your 6’7” forward.
That doesn’t mean he wants your 5’10” guard. So who’s advocating for that guard? Who’s reaching out to NAIA schools?
Who’s contacting Division III programs?

Serious question for the “circuit” guys… How many of you are actually emailing SPECIFIC college coaches about SPECIFIC players? Not generic blasts. Not tagging 50 schools in a caption. Real emails. Real relationships. Real follow-up.

The game used to be about building players. Now it’s about building circuits and clout. Independent teams built dogs. 
Now we’re building brands. If this makes you uncomfortable, good. The standard has dropped.

And if the ONLY way your kid gets seen is by attending that event… that’s not DEVELOPMENT. That’s dependency. Let’s talk about it: • How many of these programs have REAL game film? (Hudl style film) Not baseline angles made for mixtapes.

Let’s stop pretending. Second-tier circuits are selling a dream. Paying for a wristband is not exposure. Showing up to a “circuit stop” with 100 other teams fighting for attention is not a plan Continued…..

If you’re stressing yourself on whether you should join one of these 2nd tier circuits, save yourself the stress and headaches and just stay independent and go play in events where you will get seen by colleges at the level your players are. It’s ok to be real with yourself and your programs!

Casey Small, 6’0” soph PG Morton Ranch, was a dude yesterday against Cinco Ranch. In a tough loss, he scored 27 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, 3 steals. He also hit 5 Threes in a workhorse effort. He’s definitely going to be a player to watch in the future. A dude….

Thanks to Kim. I grew up a No Limit baby 🤣

Blessed 🙏🏾 @Islanders_MBB

@Coach_CourtneyB getting hired and “The U” has really inspired me.

As an assistant coach. It means so much when your head coach gives you the freedom to be creative and FULLY active within his program. S/O to those coaches
