Middle school, high school, AAU, and college coaches…at the end of the day people ain’t shit. Parents and players will shit on you and dessert you. They could start, get developed, you can buy them food, you can let them stay at your house, give them rides, pay for hotels rooms, pay for airline tickets, buy them shoes…

Oxon Hill (MD) names Iyanna Warren as its new girls basketball coach. A former Howard University standout, Warren is a 2019 Oxon Hill grad who holds the school record for points in a game (49). She steps in for her former HS coach, Devone Williams.

There are way too many parents (mostly dads) in the girls basketball space walking around with their chests stuck out because their daughter can play a little basketball. What are you going to do when your baby goes off to college? Live off her NIL deals and collective money? Some of y’all can’t even pay for the season, but you’re more worried about your girls basketball than yourself. Imagine where you’d be if you invested half that energy into yourself. Be proud of your daughter, but don’t make her accomplishments your identity. #KnowYourPriorities #StopLivingThroughYourKids

Soraya Olgadez put on a show Sunday. She caught the attention of college coach in the gym. HCC will be fun to watch this season. Full report will be on 695hoops.com.

Been getting a lot of questions about spectator admissions.
Don’t let Ohio Basketball LIE to you. We will not be charging $40 or $50 a day.

Two senior guards to watch . The best PG in the city and the best in the county for public schools. @27Dejaharry
2029 guard Sophia Burgee of Thomas Johnson was our top perforner today. She dropped 33 points in our fall league ! @FredFinestBBall

A rule change families need to understand: D2 now uses an age-based eligibility model, and D1 follows in fall 2027.
Not 19 before September 1 of the enrollment year? The clock has not started. Five years to play five.
A gap or PG year does not start the clock. A JUCO year does.
Excellent piece by my guy Tully Sullivan on why girls are quitting the game.

It’s “rug pulling” season right now at the D1 level…
High school kids in the 2027 class are being told they no longer have a scholarship offer. Signing Day is November 11th. There will only be more high school guys getting this phone call in the next couple of weeks.
If you’re committing to a school with more than 7-8 commits in the class - understand the math. 34 player rosters + DSA’s. That’s roughly 7-8 incoming freshman in most cases.
Schools don’t typically want to play freshman.
What can you do? Wait to commit. Do your homework. Keep an eye on the size of the class in the year leading up to signing day. Keep an eye on the roster in the fall of your senior year. Have a backup plan.
