Why Oakland? For @Coach_Newell1 , it started with family. If she couldn’t see her family thriving there, it wasn’t an option. But Rochester, Michigan felt right — from the community to the support system. She saw Oakland as a hidden gem with a strong foundation, a winning culture, and leadership that pours into student-athletes on and off the court. More than an opportunity — it was the right fit to build something special. 🎧 Full episode live now: youtu.be/bHcv8cClTV8

When asked about her favorite superhero, Madi Hill didn’t name one from a movie. She said her parents. She calls them her everything — the ones who sacrifice, support, and make sure she and her siblings have what they need. Real superheroes don’t always wear capes. Sometimes they’re in the stands. Sometimes they’re driving to tournaments. Sometimes they’re just showing up every single day. 🎧 Full episode live now: YouTube: youtu.be/GPaDLBQPLz0?si… @OwassoAthletics @Ram_Basketball @Bansheefam @JoshAtkinson310 @PGHOklahoma @WBBGems @talkinghoops23 @JrAllStarBB @KendyWendy03 @RL_HoopsOK @PrepGirlsHoops

The number 5 isn’t random for Bella Ragone. Her mom, Marju Ragone, wore No. 5 at Louisville. Growing up, Bella always honored it in different ways — wearing 45 or 15 — but never just the five. Her freshman year, her coach told her to claim it. She did. Now it’s hers. And with hopes of wearing it again at the next level, the legacy continues. 🎧 Full episode streaming now: 🎥 YOUTUBE: youtu.be/RadEVp1yj48

We talked New Balance Hoops and the recruiting journey with Payton Starwalt. With numerous offers already on the table, she understands how real the process is — and how important the right fit will be. For Payton and her family, it comes down to player development, strong relationships, and a program that believes in her long term. She’s not just looking for a name.
She’s looking for growth. 🎧 Watch the full episode:

In an era of the transfer portal and NIL deals pulling players in every direction, Maggie stayed at Richmond. Why? She committed to happiness for four years. Her teammates stayed.
Her coaches stayed.
Richmond became home. That kind of loyalty is rare.

Recruiting Spotlight: Bella Ragone | Notre Dame Commit Bella says the recruiting process is long and mentally tough. There are so many great programs and coaches that make the decision hard. For her, it came down to the feel. When she stepped on campus at Notre Dame, it felt like family. The community, the culture, and the God-centered environment stood out immediately. Being Catholic mattered. Relationships mattered. The connection she already had with Leah Macy made it even stronger. At the end of the day, she chose the place that felt like home. 🎥 YOUTUBE: youtu.be/RadEVp1yj48

Missy Odom knew she had to level up. She could tell she had fallen behind. She wasn’t training seriously for basketball and wasn’t competing at the level she needed to be. Her mom challenged her to go somewhere that would push her — somewhere she could train with the best players in the country. That place was Montverde Academy. She didn’t really want to leave home, but she knew it was what she needed. After a lot of conversations, prayer, and trusting the process, she made the move. Looking back, she believes Montverde was exactly where she needed to be to become the best version of herself. 🎥 YOUTUBE youtu.be/3dkWKFAMeTg 🟢open.spotify.com/episode/04U7vJ…

Missy Odom chose Florida State because it lets her be all of who she is. Basketball.
Softball. 
High-level competition in both. FSU gave her the opportunity to chase excellence without asking her to choose just one lane. It was about trust, development, and believing in her ability to handle both the grind and the spotlight. For Missy, it wasn’t just a commitment. 
It was the right fit for her future. 🎧 Watch the full episode:

In Estonia, basketball runs through club systems, and Lisa’s journey started in a PE class. Her first coach spotted her, pointed her to the gym, and told her she was coming to practice. She didn’t really have a choice — and that’s what makes the story special. She went. She loved it. She’s been playing for nearly 10 years now and hasn’t looked back. 🎧 Watch the full episode: YouTube: youtu.be/hhR7EVUeaCg?si… 🟢 open.spotify.com/episode/2CcoL5… 🍎 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/spo…

Now @lasttearpoa a @SunDevilWBB and the buckets are coming. Fourteen. Twelve. Nine. She’s been filling it up and making her presence felt in Tempe. Leaving Mulkey wasn’t easy. She gave her a real opportunity, and walking away from a program like that is never a simple decision. But sometimes growth means betting on yourself and stepping into something new. Then came the call from @MollyMiller33 Not just about the program. Not about the name. About belief. “I believe in you. I love your style of play.” That’s what she wanted. That’s what she needed. Now she’s here, ready to help change the program and build something special. And it’s already looking good on her. 😈🏀🔱 🎧 Watch the full episode here: 👉 youtu.be/bCLx09ghMgY #ForksUp #O2V

Basketball taught @lestego_leste emotional control. It taught her mental toughness and how to stay locked in when the pressure is high. The game isn’t just about talent and skill — it’s emotional and mental too. This season especially, people know who she is. Some doubt her. Some try to push her limits and make her look bad in front of everyone. That’s part of the game. But she’s learned how to keep her mental in check, stay humble, and not let the noise get to her. And honestly, that frustrates them more than anything. That’s real toughness. 🎧 Watch the full episode here: 👉youtu.be/iVmw0Yy2D2A @stpladytigerbb @CFEliteSports #FutureIsLoading #BasketballJourney #GirlsBasketball #txhsgbb #hsgbb

She didn’t just grow up playing basketball.
She grew up living it. First coach? Her dad.
Late nights watching SportsCenter.
Learning the game before she could even walk. From the recliner at 2AM…
to chasing every dream she ever wrote down. And when it was all over?
She finally sat back and said: “Dang… I really did that.” That’s legacy.
That’s gratitude.
That’s the journey. 🎧 Watch the full episode here:
