Reminder to college coaches...
We welcome coaches of all levels this weekend for the Atlanta Jam. Non Division I schools... this is a FREE event for your staff!
All we ask is that teams register before the event. You can do so here:
One of the best things about the NCAA Live Period is this - there is a player sitting in an oversized passenger van right now. He's 16. No one outside of his fam and that van knows who he is. The right game at the right time can change his life FOREVER.
OWN THE OPPORTUNITY
To all the moms out there that keep score, drive the 12-passenger vans, buy waters in game, encourage the refs, play trainer, book flights, wake teams up and every other thing that comes with hoops...
THANK YOU!
Happy Mother’s Day!
Brandon Boston(AOT) explodes for 52 points against EAB in the final game of the evening! Oklahoma State is the latest school to be added to the offer list for the five-star 2020 forward.
Terrance Arceneaux lived up to his reputation for

Tournament of Champions. The Texan was one of the hardest players to guard in the entire field.
Beware of the New Bloods, writes

. These three programs are on the come up on the recruiting front and the blue bloods better pay attention.
STORY:
Kaleb Glenn (
@ka1ebglenn
) is a physical, productive wing that leaves his mark on the game in so many ways. He’s a fantastic rebounder from the perimeter. He uses his physicality and athleticism on the glass. Glenn’s also a multi-level scorer that looks to break rims.
If you aren't ranked and you're in the class of 2021, who friggin' cares?
No one.
So, go back to work. Get better. Improve your ability to block out the noise.
Work.
Sweat.
Improve.
Rinse.
Repeat.
Talen Horton-Tucker absolutely brilliant for Simeon in their 69-68 over Wesleyan Christian. He had 27 pts, 7 rebs, 4 ast, 3 stl, 2 blk and 6 3s. Just awesome.
The crown is headed to Texas as

As you start to think about travel ball, particularly the players at the 17U level, we encourage you to find a place that allows you to be on the floor, plays in front of college coaches and real connectors and, most of all, allows you to LOVE the GAME.
College coaches from all parts of the country are coming to the Atlanta Jam! We're excited about who has already reached out and told us they are coming. Schools from every level of Division I, Division II, Division III, junior college and NAIA have reached out. Full scale!

We can’t wait to have you at the Georgia World Congress Center!

We are absolutely heartbroken for the family of O'jaryn Reese, who passed away yesterday. Our most sincere prayers are with his family and his teammates of the Georgia Suns and Statesboro High School. It is a tragedy that no one should have to experience.
We are excited to join the Hoop Group and NY2LA to form the Grassroots Basketball Association. The partnership is the largest and most impactful platform for prospective student athletes at a national level in travel basketball.

#BOTS19
There were 185 total schools that came through the Best of the South on Day One here in downtown Atlanta for the Best of the South.
We can't wait to see what's next tomorrow.
Boden Skunberg went on a scoring rampage against the Atlanta Timberwolves. While leading his squad to a 81-65 victory, the North Dakota State commit had 34 points(7 made threes). He scored at will in a lethal shooting performance.
Few things better than seeing players offered after they play at our events. Congrats to those who have seen real time results. Be patient, too. Offers don't always happen overnight. Keep working!
With over 600 teams at the 2022 Best of the South, the schedule is a beast to create. We are in the process of building it out right now. We will email it to teams and post to social media as soon as it is complete. We can’t wait to have everyone in downtown ATL!
We have so much to write about now that the
#BOTS19
is over and in the books.
A. LOT.
Stories will be rolling out daily for the next good while. Pictures, too.
Be on the 👀 for it all!
Travel basketball deserves independent teams vs shoe teams in the summer. So glad the Best of the South is the best platform for competitive diversity.
3D Empire vs Team Thad is a perfect example of that.
Packed with talent, tons of college coaches and standing room only fans.
Brandon Rechsteiner has committed to Mike Young and Virginia Tech. Rechsteiner has been one of the hottest guard prospects in the country this summer.
More on his decision below.

With events in Alabama and North Carolina, it’s only appropriate that Garrison Brooks (

Oh yeah, peep him on the HoopSeen 100 banner too. Full circle.
The 2023 Bob Gibbons Tournament of Champions was DEEP with talent. We begin our roll out of the top overall performers from the legendary stage at Suwanee Sports Academy.
