Already seeing bad basketball. How do you know how to beat a full court press? Rotating on defense. Letting the ball move on offense. Not getting on the floor for loose balls. Question is what did they do all summer? Your stats dont matter from last year!!

Why is Duke playing Coastal Carolins? Losing by more than 50 helps who?
46
What going on in Chaple Hill? This is not suppose to be this close? Stop tell me about ranking and someone stats from their previous school. All that dont matters when you hit the floor. Energy and effort is different. The Deam Dome is to be intimidating to play at. Not no more

NBA TV has some bad shows. Bring the old shows back !!
42
Some coaches are telling JUCO kids they are not D1 or D2 based on stats and not seeing them in live situation. Stats tells one story see them live tells a whole different story. You can tell if a kid is good by just watching him on and off the ball. Anyone can score!!

How is Tennessee ranked #8 and Carolina is unranked? They are down by 40 to Duke and playing no defense at all. How are ranking these teams now. This high-school ranks are not a factor anymore. I know its a exhibition but that shouldn't matter.

How someone can say you are good enough without watching you play? He has unlimited range, can finish around the with either hand. Just as good as your current guards. Has great character as well. When he asked to come in and play pick up or do workout but no response.

I see why kids now dont go to local universities in some places. These kids are just as talented if not bettet but because of reason I dont know they won't recruit local kids or show interest. That same kid end up at a D1 or D2 school where they are appreciated.

Are we not looking a player character and how they are off the court? We are not looking at their parents and how they act in the stands at games? Are just solely looking at a kids stats? What happen to integrity? It more than just stats!!

When a 6'4 200 @JordanYarrell came to the open run and stole the show. He guarded their best players and dominated each match up. Displayed all parts of his game. Very obvious that he was best one in the gym. There was no questions when he left because he answered them all!

Coaches: if you are looking for a big guard 6'4" 200lbs that is coachable , athletic, high IQ, player with sides of the ball and is very competitive at everything let me know. Will challenge you rotation day one!! Has 2 years of eligibility

As a coach, I’ll always advocate for players who deserve a shot. Stats don’t tell the whole story. Can he impact winning? Defend? Make teammates better? Lead? Play the right way? Anyone can score—but a winning mindset and doing the little things separate players. I have one now

You recruited a player because he was tall and athletic but you disregard his bad attitude and character amount other things. When you could have recruited someone that as athletic with structure and discipline with work ethic a coach wants. Stats dont tell whole story.

Coaches, if you are looking for a big guard 6'4 200lbs with unlimited range and can shoot off the catch and create his own shot.for himself and others. @JordanYarrell is fundamentally sound in every way. Can defend all positions. 2 years eligibility.

What happen to college players learning a mid range game or have a post move? This NBA summer league is exposing alot of what they didnt work on. Alot of shooting 3's ans unnecessary dribble. What exactly are some guys working in the off season with their trainers?

To all coaches looking for a big guard: We watched @JordanYarrell dominate D1 guards today with his pace, poise, and basketball IQ. He made the game look easy. His skill set, fundamentals, and decision-making had everyone asking, "Who is that?" #RecruitJordanYarrell

Don't tell a kid on thing on a visit and the tum around do the opposite. Be honest and straight up with them that way there is no confusion. Tell them the expectations and what you expect. If their no communication don't be surprised if he or she enters the portal.
104
Some coaches value stats over character and work ethic. Anyone can score, but who puts in the extra work? Who's first to practice, last to leave, and committed in the weight room? Stats tell part of the story—character tells you who the player really is.
54
Telling a player you are to small to play at top level or you can't because your stats in a injustice to that player without giving that player a chance. You can't measure player heart, motivation and drive unless you see them. We just experienced this with Jalen Brunson!!
