Thanks for the prayers everyone. Update: last 6 days was in the hospital. Was released today and sent to an assisted nursing facility for the next 2-3 weeks. This place will help me get my strength back and watch over me. Lots of work ahead. I will work.God is good. Blessings

Players!
I saw a young, athletic forward yesterday. After watching her play 2 minutes & over 5mins sitting on the bench, I would undoubtedly offer her a d1 scholarship if I could. She nvr stopped talking from the bench & coached her team up the entire time. She was fully engaged
2026 6’ SG Yasmeen Schmidt displayed the potential to be a high percentage knock down perimeter shooter at the next level. She has the length and height to get her shot off with ease, good touch and excellent follow through.
Tremendous commitment for the Yellow Jackets. Carnegie was one of the toughest elite level guards recently in Vegas

To some it’s just a list of names, maybe unfathomable, unobtainable but those who know, know the amount of work, games, travel, camps, sacrifices, training, pain, struggle, tears each of these outstanding players has put in. Congratulations!
@McDAAG
Dasovich’s combination of skills, versatility, passing acumen, & ability to contribute in multiple areas make her a highly valuable & impactful player. Her presence both inside & outside, along w her playmaking skills, suggests she can be a significant asset for the Aggies.

Extremely humbled, honored for this opportunity. Thankful for the administration at CVHS, their due diligence to ensure the quality & integrity of the GBB program and entrusting me. Capo Valley community is awesome! I can’t wait to get to work!

My dad was a very awesome dude! I was very blessed to have him in my life. He was tough, strong, hardworking, kind, compassionate & selfless. His family was his world. He wasn't a man of many words but the way he lived his life spoke volumes. Happy Fathers Day everyone!
2026 PG DeSouze’s playmaking ability is elite. Her crossover is downright nasty and her deep ball is tough. She can create her own shot and set up plays for others.
Excellent day in the gym. There were so many talented players and phenomenal people. Really loved how many raised their game. Lister was awesome along with Swords and many others.

💭 Some takeaways from a week of scouting during the 1st leg of the July viewing period in Indy and Chicago 💬
🗣 Players don’t talk
🙌🏾 No 1 knows what a closeout is
⛑ Help side defense doesn’t exist
🚫 Players play w too many
interferences
🤴 Lack of true leaders
First year head coach
@IamTinaThompson
will receive an exceptionally athletic wing that possesses power, strength & skill in Miller. Miller puts a ton of pressure on opposing defenses with her ability to consistently get into the paint off the dribble, a dynamic play maker.

CONFESSION: 🗣
When I see a recruit commit, I go to my database to search for them, make a notation & write a piece on social media. When I don’t see them in my notes I’m disappointed. I feel I have to see every kid, no matter how major or small. I’m just competitive like that.
Blessed to address this beautiful group of young women & aspiring athletes.

As a parent the best thing I learned to do for my daughter, that I wish I learned earlier was to allow her to take ownership of her own journey and be coached, for me to be less obsessive and more encouraging.
