@NickEden @HBCUSports Finally someone who preaching what i been saying. My daughters started out w t ball n now travel ball (I have a travel ball org) they were catchers now pitchers school had none. So now they utility. Oldest (P,C, 1st) 13 yr on Varsity as P, C, TRUE UTL). P & C lessons $70 each.

Can we have a real discussion about baseball? It’s not that it’s too expensive. We just don’t care to make the investment because we’ve decided as a culture, it’s not as sexy as basketball or football. From 5 to 16, I played baseball before my accident. Is it expensive? Sure, but no more than the modern day expenses that parents are paying for other sports. I was a catcher, which is legitimately the most expensive uniform on the diamond. But let’s be honest: I work with children every day. - Those cleats are nowhere near as expensive as Jordans. - Those gloves are nowhere near as expensive as iPhones. - That helmet can’t touch the price of that iPad. - The schedule is no more hectic than y’all having your kids in year round basketball between the school team and AAU. Let’s also be brutally be honest when we say that the kids in the DR playing stickball aren’t getting recruited because of their equipment. As a whole, we abandoned baseball a long time ago. Even with the success of pro dual sports athletes like Jackson, Sanders, and Jordan, we still abandoned it even though the numbers support it being the sport that is the most probable to go pro. 1.2% of Division 1 basketball players go on to play pro 2% percent of Division 1 football players go on to play pro 10% of Division 1 baseball players go on to play pro. Seems to me that the investment is worth it, although pro ball dreams being the primary driver is another issue for another time.

@Imakemyownshit @DaSportsShow @Illslope @11point7 The question is why alot of them want. You can make more $ in baseball than football and last longer. Baseball requires a lot of thinking

@DaSportsShow @Illslope @11point7 Black kids don't play baseball

BETHUNE-COOKMAN TAKES DOWN LSU IN BATON ROUGE 🔥🔥🔥

@soutel_savage @DaSportsShow @Illslope @11point7 It once was. We got away from it when Jordan came around and we allowed ball fields in our communties to be replaced with basketball courts. We so basketball crazy we do not see the $ value in baseball, softball and thar you have a longer career as well.

@DaSportsShow @Illslope @11point7 Baseball isn’t as big of a sport in black communities as it is in Latin communities.

@GoJSUTigers @LadyNay1920 Congrats

Make it official 🏆 #TheeILove | #GoJSUTigersTennis 🎾

@Irish_Cowboy88 I would drop AP. Yes he had about 17k yards from scrimmage, but no ring. I put Roger Craig, 1st 1k rush/1K recieve back, 3 rings and about 13K from scrimmage

🚨 NFL’s Greatest Backs Here’s my list of top 10 Running Backs in NFL History. Did I get it right? What would you change?

Had a recruit call today & she’s going elsewhere. She was out of our league, which we knew from the start, & committed P4. But even she, a P4 commit, took the time to call. It was a “Big Girl” call. Not an easy one. She has a fan, in me, for life. #outlove

@td_nash That's a hard one bro: Kobe, Jr, Henderson, Woodson

Who’s your favorite number 24?🧐

@Hoopss Umm that is dominating. If she giving you 12-15 a game & 4 assit-she bascially giving you 20pts. Who else stepping up? Folks need to do their part for the $ the make not want one peraon score 30 and they chip in a few. I say if you in NBA & starting 5, u need to avg 16

I truly believe at 6’4 190-195lb and with her athleticism. That Aja Wilson could play shooting guard in the NBA .. I am not saying that she is going to Dominate but a cool 12-15pts with 3-4ast.

@ronsterd89 Grill cheese sandwich, cornbread (of its very sweet)

What goes well with chili ? and you can't say crackers.

@TreHobbs55 Doors will open up.

Due to administration going in another direction, I am no longer the Head Coach of Mississippi Delta softball program.

@TreHobbs55 @TheChosenKid Wow

@TheChosenKid Nope. They told me since they’re not renewing my contract for the upcoming year, it would be best if I didn’t finish the season to not persuade the kids of doing anything.

@METAVERZUZ I can give you 2

Which rapper are you erasing? A) Eminem B) Kanye West C) Lil Wayne D) Jay-Z

Dawn Staley getting this team to a National Championship after Ashlyn Watkins and Chloe Kitts were announced out for the year and all the injuries they faced during the season just shows she’s the best coach in the game. Argue with a wall!
