NBA doesn't care about the stars next too your name while your in HS.. you can watch any NBA game and see 5 star HS recruits riding the bench behind 2 or 3 star HS recruits
Parents ! Everything you say in the car or at dinner table shows in your kid play ! It’s a reason they won’t pass or will not pass to a certain players ! Can’t get a TEAM to play as a TEAM if your only about your individual! 100% of team drama starts at HOME !! Read 100 times
I don’t care care How ELITE you are individually ! YOU will have Bad games and plenty mediocre games !! It happens !! Only your secret haters will magnify it ! But real basketball evaluators get it
It's TRUE. Coaches play favorites. They favor players who give them the best chance to win, who have great attitudes, who work hard everyday, who embrace their role (regardless of what it is) and who support the program culture!
After watching so much basketball! You can tell who grew up dribbling vs cones compared to those that grew up playing 21 hustling for every rebound to win
Coaches are really telling kids they are not allowed to shoot midrange jumpshots due to analytics.. 3pts or layups only .. guess they never watched jordan or Kobe
All kids want to play guard regardless of their true position ! Due to the position the parents feel they want them to play !! Well it’s only 2 true positions in basketball 🏀! Bench and on floor !!
I’ve been the select basketball Doormat ! Was a automatic victory for years for opponents ! I’ve been the mediocre team doing car washes/ standing on corners begging! Sleeping 6-8 maybe 10 in a room ! If you can’t speak on where I come from ! Don’t hate on where I’m at Now
with only 2 live periods this year .. majority of college coaches are watching baller TV live and replays ... so every weekend is live period .. remember that when your not giving full effort
Dear Select coaches! We rarely hear Thank You ! We are the only ones that’s expected to fight for kids scholarships while being Criticized by the parent and Disrespected by the parent! If you haven’t heard it ! Thank you for helping kids from one coach to another !
Directors that’s connected!! Do not just use your connections to just help your kids ! Once your kids are signed put your ego to the side and help other kids that wasn’t fortunate enough to wear your uniform without wanting credit ! If your about the kids like you tell others🤷🏾♂️
Damn college basketball is the new grassroots basketball! It’s no longer earn it , fight for it or wait my turn !! To many are ruined by praise/ worship in Hs instead of being saved by criticism/adversity
After taking a year off from coaching ! Being a director sitting back and enjoying watching our guys perform and coaches giving their all ! Gave me the itch I’ve been waiting to see would pop up and it has .. I will be returning to the sidelines next spring /summer ///
4 levels of basketball! 8th grade down ➡️ HS / select ➡️college at all levels ➡️Pro overseas or NBA !!! Not all can adjust to the Fact that at each level you start as a NOBODY again!! And I’ve watched PRAISE create egos that kill opportunities! Humble yourself or GOD will !!!!
Scottie Pippen made his Route ! As a manager and begged for a scholarship! Got one and played ! Went # 5 in the draft from a NAIA school ! You will be found regardless of where you go !
Couldn't be more proud of this group! High character! High IQ! No ME guys! all TEAM FIRST guys! Amazing summer 17-1 in Adidas 32-2 Overall !! CHAMPS !!!
We should do a Texas Peach finals finale (Nike, adidas,UA) Urban, YGC36, PB Nation, Harden, Basketball U, Hardwork, Houston hoops, Drive nation, Pro skills, Titans, and Mudiay .. One Court tournament to end summer season!
Dear parents ! If you have to throw shade / hate towards someone else kid ! That means your kid is not what you think they are ! Everyone race is different ! If you focus on yours you might get the results your desperate for faster !
#hatersneverwin
Officially old ! I’m a grandpa (V-pa lol) great Christmas! Got to hold my grand daughter for the first time ! Have to get her a southern Assault onesie with the /// on the back !!!
Keep your GPA high !! Ivy League will recruit you ! Very slim chance that you would have to worry about the transfer portal because very few can get in
Can never please everyone in your program ! Charge a fee they complain! Completely free they complain! Not the best player complain!Teammate get a offer they jealous ! Win game doesn’t matter if their kid not the leading scorer! No way to win
Received text asking why I’m not tweeting about this past weekend! Well 3 reasons!! 1 - I’ll always respect our opponents! 2- if U really are what you think U are in this game you do not have to post scores seeking validation! 3- if it’s what you expected why tweet! Just retweet
Early offers as a freshman means NOTHING! Need for that university means everything when your Hs senior year starts . That university has 3-years of recruiting grad or juco transfers, & hs players . Things change ! That offer not Loyal
When your a program , player or director of event and your below average or average in this grassroots 🏀 world ! More people will love you ! But once you become a threat!! That love turns into jealousy !! Being Good or great is not for a weak individual in this business..
Talked to a over 15 NBA scouts in the past week and they all have something in common! They said they never look at rankings because it clouds their judgment! They go to games to watch PLAYERS!
We on this app tweeting like it’s the FIRST TIME a kid switched teams, a shoe team lose to a independent, a elite player didn’t perform to their ranking !! This been happening for 30 plus years !!! 🛑 the 🤡 tweets and focus on getting kids to college which is a challenge itself
I remember how i use to say “I don’t need or want a shoe deal !! Im getting it done as a independent why would I take a deal !! Got that call and signed within 1 min of getting the email ! Moral to the tweet ! Just be quiet and focus on your program and help KIDS
Southern Assault will have a Unsigned Sr team ! Doesn’t have to be kids from our organization! You can be from any program and you will still go on your original team alumni list ! Team will play in 3 events with 2 being April live period! If interested contact
@bigbook15817
Doesn’t matter how talented your team is on paper ! If one parent and their kid cares about their individual stats over team success!! It will NOT WORK
I see nothing wrong with this !! Basketball generation is SOFT !! all a chain reaction to the cant whoop your kid or CPS is called , the No fail policy in school etc.. most dangerous person to be around is a person that doesn't understand consequences!
Dear middle school down parents !! Dont get hype over your kid fake national ranking !! The moment you get to HS your nobody again and have to impress a entirely different group of evaluators that’s experienced and know what a Real PLAYER looks like
Y’all know what
@TeamFortWorth
means to me. Been rocking 20+ years. She has done a lot for the game, players and their families. She is in a battle right now! I’d love to get your support, even just a RETWEET! Thanks! 🤞🏿🖤🙏🏿

College freshman! It’s upperclassman at the Univ ur about to attend! The day you committed they watched your highlight videos! They have a dream also !! Best believe if u treaten their opportunity! 1st day on court they coming for you! Teammates when Season start ! Enemies now
Stop complaining about not playing the position you THINK you are ! And play the position the coach put you in for the TEAM to be successful! It’s only 2 positions in basketball! On the court or on the bench
Want to say thank you to everyone for the prayers and words of encouragement ! CG touched many in the basketball 🏀 community and will be missed !! Continue to pray for our family and information will be communicated soon
#restinpeaceCG
Regardless of how elite they say you are or how long you have been considered elite /the man !! At some point you will just be a role player ! Then it’s can you adjust or will your ego kill your career
Everything comes back in a circle !! Crazy when the person that treated you like s**t When you was at the bottom is begging for your help to get back up ! In the words of a good friend ! Treat the janitor the same as the CEO ! Never know when the roles switch
Nobody cares what HIgh school you going too ! You want real attention post what college you graduated from after you receive your diploma! Now that’s something to announce

Sometimes you just do not know if the time and effort we all put into kids to give them a opportunity is appreciated ! But days like today when receiving multiple text from players heart about how they feel about myself and the organization reassures me that it’s all worth it !!
DEAR MEDIA ! Always remember the coaches has relationships also ! So when you bash players to college coaches to eliminate a kids opportunity to help a personal relationship of yours ! just KNoW we find out exactly what you said to that coach to put doubt in his mind
I've never not had a college program brag about their strength coach.. but why is it always a kid being talented but skinny or not strong a excuse not to recruit/offer him ! if your strength guy is the best in the business
Forever in my heart ! Thank you sis for pushing me & not allowing me to settle! God broke my heart 💔 to prove to me he only take the best ! You earned your wings ! Go be great ! Love you ❤️❤️❤️
Dear PLAYERS that signed a NLI !
Call or text the people that helped you and say thank you! The ones that was sacrificing time away from family to give you an opportunity ! A Thank you from your parents doesn’t count for a thank you from you personally !
From being on the HS level the past 18 years coaching and dropping down to middle school down to coach ! I learned a lot this weekend! It’s like the beginning of the scheme! 9 out of 10 teams cheat and the one that’s not is in last place ! Seen a kid pull up driving
Feels amazing when your in this for the right reason & from the first college game yesterday to today & you can’t move because young men from the organization is playing hour on the hour on tv ! Nothing more rewarding than watching them live part of their dream ! True blessing
When a player get the media on their side ! They can play a bad game and be listed as a standout ! But once media have their mind mad up that player can kill it and never be mentioned!!! It’s ok to be wrong and admit it ! It makes your evaluations more relevant
The game of BASKETBALL is way bigger than you, me and everyone involved! It was here before us and will be here after us ! Create your lane in this game and stay in it
Heard numerous times that last year was a down year talent wise for our program.. if this is what a down year look like I cant wait to see what a good year looks like!!

As a program if you never stood on the corner begging for donations, car washes , selling candy to raise money or staying 6-8 per room because you didn’t have the funds ! You didn’t get it out the MUD !!!
