American River College Men’s Basketball

After careful consideration, I have committed to American River College! I have full belief in Coach Lorente and the entire coaching staff‼️#jucoproduct @BlueChipsGlobal @StangzRod @Uorangemen2 @ARC_MBB @GradyMajors @mosesk225 @wrightsbball

@coachgbrown33 Great event, largely because of the coaches involved and the main one setting it up!

High level NorCal and SoCal programs meeting in the middle of Cali! Some elite coaching staffs and college players in our building is special to us!

Blessed to say I have received an offer to play at Simpson University! Thank you @coachconesu for believing in me! #naia #cbb #recruiting

Tom Brady shares the advice that changed his career and his mindset. He was at Michigan - he was only getting 2 practice reps while the starter got 20. He was complaining to sports psychologist Greg Harden: "How can I ever get better? All these guys get all the reps and I only get 2." Greg's response changed everything: "Just go in there and focus with the 2 that you got and make them as perfect as you possibly can." Focus on what you can control. So that's what he did. "They'd put me in for those 2. Man, I'd sprint in there like it was Super Bowl 49. 'Let's go boys! Here we go! What play we got?'" "I did really well with those 2 'cause I brought enthusiasm, I brought some energy, and I had a little more confidence in myself." You don't get what you want in life - you get what you earn. It starts with showing up and earning it every single day. "It went from 2 reps to getting 4 reps because those 2 were pretty good. Then I had 4 good reps. Then I got 10 good reps." You can always try to lead the team in effort, attitude, and perspective because it takes no talent. Then he shared the mindset shift: "Focus on what you can control. Focus on what you're getting, not what anyone else is getting. Whenever you get an opportunity, you take advantage of it. You treat it like it's the Super Bowl." Stop complaining about what you don't have. Dominate what you do. Opportunity doesn't care about fairness - it rewards how ready you are. (🎥PBD Podcast )

JUCO isn’t a fallback—it’s a pathway. At the right program, it’s development, exposure, structure, and opportunity. Players grow, get recruited, and LEVEL UP. Don’t let the stigma cost you a career move. The right JUCO can change everything.

“If you don’t live in the gym, you’re never going to make it” - John Calipari

We have screwed up college sports for the 1% of players who make all the money. But we're going to end up screwing up the 99% who actually need college sports to get a free education... —​Charles Barkley to @dandakich 2 years ago. Could've been said today

Tom Izzo will go down as one of the last, if not the last genuine program builder in D1 basketball. Guys stay, develop, and get rewarded. Complete opposite of what college athletics has become everywhere else.

I’ll never understand the Calipari hate Watch how he connects with every young man he coaches He cares about them as people Argue with a wall about National Championships THIS is what coaching is. CHANGE LIVES (Via @RazorbackMBB 🎥)

Hard coaching means someone believes in you and your ability to improve. Great players don’t see it as an attack. They see it as the ultimate compliment.

A note to say thank you … thanks for supporting our student athletes on this 5-month journey. Your support for these young men is very much appreciated. The CCC system is the largest education system in the world. Please support your local community college.

John Calipari goes OFF for nearly SEVEN MINUTES about current state of college athletics & the Trentyn Flowers story in CBB. I haven't seen him this fired up in a press conference...ever?

If you want to understand real coaching… Watch Brad Underwood explain it in 90 seconds. This is why we coach. This is what matters. This is the job. Coaching GOLD. 🥇
