Simple question ... How so you label a kid a D1,D2,D3, NAIA, or Juco guy when you never have been that player before, coached that tier, or developed that kinda player? What gives you the "expertise" to attempt to put kids in a "box" on what they are?
Attention HBCU coaches: RECRUIT THE KIDS IT MAY NOT SEEM THAT YOU CAN GET. AT LEAST REACH OUT, THEY ARE INTERESTED IN HBCU’s BUT CANT ACT ON IT WITHOUT YOU.
AAU coaches have to be the most talented coaches in all of sports!! We have to rotate the kids in showcase the kids strengths hide their weaknesses and figure out how to win the ball game all at the time with limited practice time. Much respect to the AAU coaches 💪🏾💯🔥
Man when I was in school we didn’t care about D1 or D2!! The only thing we understood was scholarship or no scholarship..Free school or not free school that’s it!! Back when Tx A&M Commerce was E Tx State University and if you got and offer from them you were happy as hell..💯💪🏾
So having your ringer off and notifications silenced is the new wave for teenagers!?!?? U claim you wanna be recruited but you don’t answer or text back to college coaches. That’s why they are choosing older guys out of the portal because they don’t have time for immature BS!!
Not many independent programs can say they have a 🍔🍟. Congrats goes out to

for his hard work and dedication to his craft. Sky is the limit young fella!! We know big fella smiling down!!

As a director, I am happy for each kid in DFW no matter what level or Division to be able to keep playing the game of basketball after high school with a partial or full scholarship. It's a true testament to the quality of players,families, trainers,media, n coaches here.

Some of y’all have been good players on bad teams for so long that now you are a bad player on a good team. Taking bad shots not playing D whining and complaining because you have been use to being the man on a sorry team and nobody said nothing.
I'm asking everyone to pray for my guy

. A member of Stephen F Austin coaching staff. Battling the disease we all hate,cancer, and he needs our prayers. He is definitely a friend and one of the realest guys out there. Big E
Getting kids to buy in to "winning" is extremely difficult for 2days coaches.The defensive stop, taking a charge, grabbing a crucial rebound just not sexy enough 4 the cameras. Best believe College coaches gives a damn about "winning"and if your talents don't fit that, it's tough
Arterio Morris and Chauncey Gipson address 100+ high school athletes about the opportunity to be a part of the

No weight lifting or open gym during the live period!! HS coaches please don’t be selfish right now!!! These kids have college scholarships on the line…Skill work and get shots up this week that’s all…HS coaches if you love your players you will understand…

HS coaches just a FYI… the NCAA live period is the next two weeks. Kids that are playing in front of college coaches need to be fresh and healthy. Time to ease up on the grueling offseason workouts for a couple weeks.
Its amazing how many times I talk to parents and they want to make sure you are going on a lot of trips and playing nationally.That's fine, buy there are 23 D1 Texas schools alone. Lets at least make sure they know ya b4 we tackle the nation lol
Man I'm glad to hear someone say this! It amazes me that people think it's a ton of money that AAU coaches make. Where is it! The tournaments cost, practice cost, apparel cost, and most of us are really pleading to colleges to give our kids a chance. Sending out film,calls, etc.
S/O to all the AAU coaches out here still coaching. You're risking your health & your loved one's everytime you go to practice, games, training, etc. And contrary to popular belief 99.5% of you don't make a dime doing so. So again, much respect & God Be w/you all!! 💪🏾🙏🏾🏀💙🖤🤍
Not sure what everyone else see, but we see a full fledge program. Missing a few lol. We still standing and carrying on the big fella legacy. BIG E Showtyme Classic coming up June 17-19. Better sign up asap all age groups.

The Dallas Showtyme Family would like to give our sincerest prayers and condolences to Mr. Don Young family, friends, officials and everyone that he has touched. A longtime friend of the Dallas Showtyme Family…RIH Don 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Parents of 9th grade hoopers. I pray that you understand how important this spring and summer basketball season is to your sons future. The 14u biddy ball is over, teaming up with friends is over, pizza parties and sleep overs is done. This is business now! Lock in!!
Everybody say," I'm only about these kids" but I wonder how many really half way mean it. This is a reference to AAU,HS,college coaches, media,parents, governing bodies such as NCAA and AAU. The words are becoming just a cliche. Far different from when we started.
Some programs continue to lose because they don't recruit winners. I hear people say other teams may be more talented than
@Dallas_Showtyme
but we play harder is our reason 4 winning.Wut sense that make? Playing hard n tough is a talent.There isn't luck or a science 2 this. SMH
Generations of Showtyme family…Damn Chauncey it seems like yesterday that you could barley dribble and now you’re celebrating Senior night. We are so proud of you and what you have developed into. This is only the beginning. Salute!!!

I'm just going to put it out there.... Some of these players I'm seeing are better than some that hold offers. On top of that, it's not much seperation in some than our nationally ranked players. People we it, just don't want to admit it. There are some real players in DFW
I'll say it since I didn't hear much about it. Was one of the most talked about prospects and picked up interest from all levels at TABC showcase. One of the best guards in Texas. 6-6, 16 years old, damn near 7 foot wingspan and plays all 5 positions at HS level. MAJOR PROSPECT
We must fight with this same energy at the voting booths in a few months. We do have that right, to vote, that we must exercise at all levels and not take for granted.
We gotta address problem with showcases! No question, it's really good competitive games.The problem I have is that it don't give the underdog or up n comer chance to go at the best!Guess I'm sensitive to that cuz that's how Showtyme made its name. We all guilty 2 some degree
This weekend "The rubber will meet the road"...A lot of folks will get exposed...Lying ass coaches along with lazy ass players...Coach you say you have a top program but there are NO colleges watching your game. Player you say you been in the lab but you getting yo ass kicked.
Problem with most of our generation right now is men act like cowards... Dont hide behind your Twitter handle and throw jabs at kids,parents, and organizations when you have little or no credibility in this game yourself...FOE
This time right here will teach us to appreciate things a little bit more. The things we take for granted will now be celebrated. We are not promised anything. Enjoy your family, look out for your fellow neighbor, and stay healthy. This too shall pass. FOE
Open Gym this week is NOT a good idea!!! Get in the gym get shots up, footwork and cardio and get some rest. The coaches are back out this weekend. 💪🏾💪🏾💯💯
Introducing Mr. Offense, Chauncey Gibson. Easily was an MVP candidate as well. Shot the ball from 30 feet out, ran pg at times, and dunked on people while standing 6-6. He is one of the best guards in the state period. Don't be late to the party!
It's going down in the metroplex this weekend. Almost that time!! Looking forward to a great weekend and remembering a legend in the game. In big bro voice PULL UP!!!

Events such as the "Main Floor"

in Ft Worth Texas and Mansfield. Talent at all age levels. Please come see for yourself.... We believe in all scholarships....
#freemoney
Dude made same pass he made to Ray Allen, Jordan made to paxson and Steve kerr, Hakeem made to Horry and so forth, It's call the right basketball play. The great ones figure that out. Them other dudes get paid too. Just my 2 cents
One thing that we have to do as parents is allow these coaches hold our kids accountable … if you keep making excuses and blaming the coach you will never see your child get better...
#RealTalk
I would like to give a sincere thank you to all the parents, players, coaches, and refs that made our 16th year our strongest year. Appreciate our local media who supported as always. Also, special shout out to the ones working the hospitality room who made it second to none.
First time this group together.... Impressed in dominating fashion. 7-0 over short time frame. Prospects at all levels.... Colleges on the real.... Get at me!!! The most talent throughout the program that we have had in a long time!!! FOE
Man if your word don't mean nothing let's miss each other with the friendly stuff in these gyms. No problem or issues, we just built different! The world needs all kinda people. FOE
Day 3 and championship Sunday for the young kids. Coaches if you have a towel throw one on to honor Big bro. Appreciate all the support. Spread the word!!

If you don't meet these academic requirements........you ARE NOT a D1 prospect! Regardless of your video, 40 time, 7v7 team, trainer, club team, school, position, stats etc. Your academics play the most important role in what level you play in college.
