You can play above your level capabilities by checking all the intangible boxes, coupled with that on the fringe skill set… Don’t let this go over your head.

I talk to D1 coaches from almost every conference, pretty much every week.. I wish student athletes with D1 dreams knew how quickly coaches will move on with their interest for an unchecked box.. Grades Body Language Shot Selection Positional Skill Set Defense Motor Smh

2026 6’6 wing/forward, all region @caedenmyerss has a smooth, Paul Pierce type game, skilled and versatile! Can fit multiple lineups at multiple levels! Big time shooter from the perimeter!

2026 6’0 point guard @iamezrabrown3 had himself a nice outing in a tough conference battle! High level defender, playmaker, and efficient scorer! 🏀

Student athletes think they are D1 because of what they can do offensively.. What’s going to get you in the door, on a recruiting board, or even considered a second thought is how you defend, how you impact the game, your translatable skill set, and academic standing… 👀🏀

2026 6’0 @iamezrabrown3 is the type of point guard and leader that EVERY team NEEDS! Tough as nails, defends at a high level, and underrated athlete! Has had a breakout year and continues to impress!

Had a grind out a win vs. a well coached @SandburgNJCAA team! 2026 6’3 @malachi06311539 23p, 5r 6’0 @iamezrabrown3 14p, 3a 6’0 @NickVuckovic 14p, 2a 6’6 @gabrielwrightt 13p, 4r, 4s 6’8 @ChristianxRohde 6p, 11r, 2b 6’6 @caedenmyerss 2p, 3r @MCCScots 🏀

2026 6’3 @malachi06311539 is a strong and athletic combo guard! High level defender, rebounder, and playmaker! Scores it in bunches in every which way! Type of player you want to go to war with!

2026 6’8 @ChristianxRohde is the best shot blocker in the country, above the rim rebounder, jump hook is smooth with a high release and elevation, tough to defend that! Versatile defender that can guard 1-5! High motor, high academic!
