Excited, Humbled and Grateful to add to my bio: McDonald’s All-American Committee. Truly an honor and a privilege to be part of this once in a lifetime committee. To say today has been emotional is an understatement, I would like to thank those who have supported me#🍔🍟
July Evaluation Period is upon us, please be mindful of 2 things
1. Body Language 2. Someone is always watching. With that being said drop me your schedule cause the 👀’s are going to be EVERYWHERE!!
#WEOUTSIDE
What a great week of basketball!! Here are a few of my takeaways.
1. Players get off your feet after you play and discover ice baths.
2. The sport is suffering because of the lack of good refs, something that needs to be addressed.
I saw ALOT this weekend, whether with my own eyes👀 or my other eyes 👀. Two things that stood out to me was BODY LANGUAGE and PARENT ACTIONS!! Not all GOOD and not all BAD!! Be aware someone is always WATCHING!!
As July evaluation comes to an end, I would like to say it’s been a pleasure watching the class of 2023 perform. A few thoughts:
1. Let’s not forget the STUDENT part of being a student athlete.
2. Take some time off and rest, mentally and physically. High School season is coming!
July is here which means the 👀 will be everywhere. Here are some things I will be looking at: 1. Body Language 2. Energy 3. Leadership.
With that being said, WHO DO I NEED TO SEE….Drop your schedules.
#NE2K
The 👀’s will be on the lookout this weekend for the start of the AAU Season. WHO IS BRINGING THE 💨 💨 💨!! Drop your schedule and TAG someone I need to see!! WE OUTSIDE!!
As we enter the final viewing period of July I want to remind student athletes of a few things:
1. A skill set can be taught, playing hard and being a good teammate comes from within.
2. Have fun, enjoy the game you have grown to love, use basketball don’t let it use you.
Rankings has been the big topic of the week…good, bad or indifferent. As an evaluator (🤷🏾♂️) one of the bigger jobs is to tell college coaches about you talented players and bring them to your games. I/We will continue to focus on trying to get you athletes to the next level.
50 years around the moon, to say I am blessed and highly favored is an understatement. The overwhelming amount of love I have received makes me proud of the man I have became and strive to be. Here’s to 50 more years🥂!

Today is my namesakes 12th Birthday. KEPIII is turning into an amazing young man and little does he know he has made me the man I am today. Everything I do is for him and I know he will carry on the “KP” name with integrity, pride and excellence. I love you son.

Two hour call with one of the best minds in girls/womens basketball. I didn’t get to talk much, but did absorb a lot of knowledge. Basketball Bob is a national treasure in my book. BYEBYE!!!!
And so it begins…KP’s first overnight basketball camp, by himself. Excited and nervous but willing to help him get to his dreams. Thankful that
@woottenbasketball
provides this platform.
Cussin’ and Discussin’ Good power brunch with the team and the National Treasure “Basketball Bob”. Please notice who paid the bill…The work is the work!!!!
Texas owes me NOTHING!! What an amazing week of Basketball, Friendships and CULTURE!
⁃Thank you to my Mcdonalds All American Family for allowing me to be part of such a great event. This is truly a dream come true.
Reminder that 2024 McDonald's All-American Game nomination period is now open 🍟🍔
