Old style of recruiting when we out-worked other schools by being around all the time is ancient history. Today if you don’t have people who can evaluate talent on your coaching staff & spend NIL money wisely, you’re screwed. And if you go by somebody’s Top 100 list to recruit,

This coach gets it. He came through the grassroots, played and won at the highest level, coached and recruited for one of the best college head basketball coaches in America! St. Augustine HS pedigree!! Best attribute for me is he’s a Louisiana dude. Life Lessons! Much success

Looking forward to reading this on former DC Assault founder Curtis Malone and the double life that landed him in jail. Just saw Malone earlier this month in Rock Hill and he has some crazy stories in here.

Great commitment! I made a living signing guys from Louisiana while coaching at Power Five and Mid Major schools. Never seen this prospect in person but looks like an impact player. Congratulations to Coaching staff at UL. Love it

Love this from Manny Watkins Basketball! Trust, accountability, mental and physical toughness, great feel, Basketball IQ, Skill Set and making quick decision in every basketball situation is key for being recruited at the highest level! Trust is Big time! tiktok.com/t/ZT6BeWPGV/

"We have to create adversity for our players and teach them that struggle is essential for growth." Like the Emperor Moth... If you cut open its cocoon to make the process easier, it never learns to fly. The struggle is what gives it strength.
