It’s about to get noisy downtown 😼📈

CAN WE NORMALIZE expecting good things? Expecting God to come through? Expecting the doors to open? Expectation is not arrogance. It is faith. And faith is exactly what moves what’s been standing still in your life.

Raven Johnson in 2024: “I went from being ranked Top 30 as a freshman to the No. 2 player in my class when I graduated. To climb the rankings like that, knowing how hard I worked, made winning the Nasimith High School Player of the Year mean so much more to me. I cried so hard that day. There were so many talented players in my class too. Azzi Fudd, Saniya Rivers, Sania Feagin, Amari DeBerry … SO MANY. And they chose me…. That recognition still leaves me kind of speechless. It was also at that moment that I realized that I, the athlete I’ve worked so hard to be, was joining such an amazing team in THE University of South Carolina with THE Dawn Staley. I couldn’t have been more excited to be on this team. I had so many goals for my freshman year, I couldn’t wait to get on the court. Instead of a breakout season, I tore my ACL. In my second game ever…. I know. That was my first real injury, too. I had to relearn how to bend my leg, how to walk again … I wouldn’t wish that level of pain on anyone. I got so depressed because I couldn’t play. I was scared … I didn’t know what was going to happen to me. I remember screaming at my trainer, yelling, ‘I’M NEVER GOING TO WALK AGAIN,’ almost in tears. The recovery felt so slow. I couldn’t be patient. So, if I wasn’t in rehab, I was passing the time in my room, eating. Food became such a comfort that I weighed almost 200 lbs. when I returned to basketball related activities…. I look back on that now and realize I’ve had a lot of moments in my life where I’ve had a decision to make: Do I tap out, or keep going? A lot of people would have quit if they were in my shoes. Success is never easy. There’s going to be some bumps in the road…. And while the lows feel neverending, I made it out stronger every time.... I’ve been challenged in every possible way, and instead of quitting, I let the hard times make good times. So yeah, you can call me Raven, Crockpot Johnson or ‘the girl who got waved off’ … I really don’t care anymore. Just don’t forget to call me a champion.” playerstribu.ne/Raven @HollywoodRaven | @GamecockWBB | @MarchMadnessWBB

Good morning. Is there a thread somewhere of Women’s Basketball Team Camps and Elite Camps? Would love to be able to create a spreadsheet to share with the masses @EJayArrow @TaliaGoodmanWBB @WBBGems @BucketReel @bballjkey

I asked Tom Izzo about the viral clip of Charles Barkley defending his coaching style by saying people have gotten too soft. Izzo: "Now we're supposed to just hug and kiss everybody... Accountability is going to be big until I leave."

WBB UNSIGNED SENIORS, TRANSFERS, JUCO — we’re on the hunt 👀💙💛 Send me an email with film, stats & GPA! Alexius.hampton@jwu.edu

When God answers that prayer only you & him know about

We have to let our kids work through their problems. There are two kinds of parents. One prepares the path for the child, and the other prepares the child for the path.

Forever grateful for this group. Our foundation. Our family. #Relentless x #GoCanes

Alabama Head Coach Nate Oats postgame: "When you just lose yourself in a game, lock into playing defense, making the effort plays, getting stops, getting rebounds, that stuff takes care of itself, & I think this game exemplified it as much as any game you've ever seen." @abc3340
