@TheRyanDeppen #1 is vital. Spot on.

The best type of client and families to work with: • Those who don’t have EXPECTATIONS of where their basketball journey will take them, but have perspective to know that a basketball can take them anywhere in life • fully bought-in to the process and find joy in the day to day • Both the player and family understand that Rome wasn’t built in a day • The family plays a role of support and biggest fan

Rick Pitino is right. Every player’s hourglass runs out faster than they think. The practices. The games. The grind. One day… it’s all gone. Cherish every rep. Every moment. Every opportunity. Don’t waste your sand. ⏳

@RileyMarshall05 @DruWheatcroft @Coach_Runyan @nw_ameyer @MokanGirls @coachDTuck Congrats. Go be great.

100% Committed!! 💚💚@DruWheatcroft @Coach_Runyan @nw_ameyer @MokanGirls @coachDTuck

I hope young players notice that in these high caliber basketball games, they are decided by the unsung "role" guys. Yes Wemby and SGA are great, but watch the battle of the 3rd or 4th "best" player or even the 6th man. These are where championships are won and lost.

@coachbrettflory Couldn't agree more. Having grown up in Wichita and out west, when I found out about this event in my HS summer days I was jealous. It's a very cool event. I would think some basketball lovers that run some business would love to be part of it. Spangles or an auto group? Local.

Say this every year — would love to see us develop something like this to recognize the best greater Wichita metro players! Congrats to Reece — fantastic player from an outstanding MV program!

@coachbrettflory If only there was some sort of a National group of people that could discuss these things to set rules. Kind of like an Association of some sort??

@CoachBangle Absolutely does but I have absolutely no idea how they get there. Who is going to form and represent the players Union to negotiate? And then are we gonna have college players go on strike eventually? What a mess 🤣

“Think about growing up with your parents and you got to do whatever the hell you wanted to do instead of them telling you things. Would you be sitting here? I know I wouldn’t." What you want isn’t always what is right for you. Let the right people keep you accountable.

In the years since, he would reach out after big games and congratulate me and our team on our success. Always a huge compliment hearing from him! A class act, and a deserving award!

I got to work with Coach Fiegel in the summers when I first got into coaching. As soon as I got around him he would always light up with basketball and wanted to help young coaches more than I thought anyone would! Nothing was sacred, he was an open book!

Preferred Walk-On to National Attention: Kansas State senior lineman Sam Hecht, a 6’4” product of Mill Valley High School, has been selected as a semifinalist for the prestigious William V. Campbell Trophy, awarded annually to the nation’s top athlete with the combination of academics, leadership, and on-field performance. At Mill Valley, Hecht capped his HS career with back-to-back state championships in 2019 and 2020, before taking his talents to Manhattan as a preferred walk on. In 2024, he started all 13 games at center and earned All-Big 12 Second Team honors. He logged a team-high 840 offensive snaps, drawing only two penalties all season, while anchoring an offensive line that powered one of the most efficient offenses in school history. Congratulations to the Mill Valley alum! 👏 #sportsinkansas  Photo: Mill Valley Football
