🏀 COACHES!!! Representation matters.
College coaches move often, and too many leave major financial decisions in the hands of the wrong agent.
A coach represented by my brokerage on a purchase later netted over $1M in profit when it came time to sell.

These ARE NOT STARTER HOMES! They are just the first home a person in the 1% can afford. In 90% of those of cities (or in adjacent bedroom communities) , there are actual starter homes, Zillow is full of S***. Misinformation like this only discourages young people from trying.
Hundreds of U.S. cities now have starter homes that cost $1 million, Zillow finds. cbsn.ws/4osEJyO

So after being around college coaches this weekend this is the general consensus I got:
27’s- that’s who the majority were there to evaluate. A lot of it was honestly putting together lists of who they’ll have their HC watch in July.
28’s- unless you’re an absolute stud they really aren’t paying too much attention outside of getting your info to invite you to elite camp.
29’s &30’s- you really just out there hooping. College is so far away and so many things are changing you shouldn’t even be worried about who’s watching tbh

💰 #Clemson's 2026 football roster will be right around the $30 million mark.
One down year hasn't changed Dabo Swinney's mind: His #Clemson football program is still built to last, writes On3's Chris Low after meeting with Swinney in his office for this story.

NEW: Dabo Swinney tells @Clowfb he's ready to get Clemson "back to the top" and has no plans to retire to the beach anytime soon🏆
“Hell no. I mean, I’m just getting going. I’m right about the same age Nick (Saban) was when he got to Alabama. So I’m just getting going, man. I love a challenge, and again, all we’ve done is win. Sometimes, people want me to be like this guy or that guy, and I’m like, ‘What’s that guy done? How many championships has that guy won?’ I’ve got 11 championships. The next closest is Kirby, who’s got six. I’ve got seven playoff appearances. There ain’t another coach still coaching with seven playoff appearances."

You forgot #4: colleges at all level are not recruiting HS kids anymore
May 25
After helping kids get to the next level in college hoops for 7 years, I have come to the conclusion there are 3 reasons why seniors are still unsigned in June: 1. They have not played in front of the appropriate college 🏀 level coaches. 2. They and their families have a D1 or bust mentality. 3. They have been receiving bad advice from various people and entities. YOU ARE THE LEVEL THAT U ARE BEING RECRUITED. In today’s environment don’t turn down a life changing opportunity. @CRConsultingSD1 @PowerNIL_ @FullTimeHoops1 @3PointPlayer @D3Direct @BQuillmanQcast @OACBBallShow @MattSnyderD3

The timing is very questionable at best. Coaches, universities, and athletic departments have spent a lot of money recruiting and building relationships for this year’s recruiting cycle. Having team rosters potentially ripped apart at the last minute is upsetting, especially since we have been operating under the status quo. The game has grown internationally due to the success of international players in college basketball. College basketball is also probably the most talent-rich it has been since the 90s. Why not continue advancing the game's popularity by having the best players in the world in that age group play in it?
May 23
I appreciate the dialogue, and I believe it has helped provide some clarity to the basketball community.
I understand your frustration about timing, but the pace of change in college athletics is moving faster than ever and the NCAA needs to start somewhere.
Further, the NCAA presumably is taking the position it is applying preexisting rules — most notably, (1) the “actual and necessary expenses” requirement, and (2) the concept of counting each season of international play against a player’s NCAA’s eligibility clock (currently, five years to play four seasons subject to some exceptions).
In any event, I don’t think the NCAA’s application of its eligibility rules will be as draconian as some suggest.
To the extent an incoming prospect does not get cleared by the NCAA, I predict the outcome to be tethered to preexisting rules — most commonly, counting each season of international play against a player’s NCAA eligibility clock.

I created a chart for the judge in Tristan Smith v NCAA, where we are seeking an extra year of eligibility for the Clemson wide receiver. If this comparison of Smith and Malik Benson doesn’t show the NCAA has acted in a demonstrably arbitrary and inconsistent manner, then 🤷♂️

It's fitting that Seth Greenberg wants the tourney expanded.
Lived on the bubble for most of his tenure at Virginia Tech.
Went to the NCAA tourney once in his final 17 seasons as head coach.

Back when they stayed 4 years, earned their degrees, became brothers and won☘️
Column: Who was the best @NDmbb teammate of the last 30 years? We asked five former Irish. Then five more and five more after that.
An enlightening exercise. And response from 35 former Irish players, coaches, managers.

Don't blame Made Hoops. They were bought by a private equity company whose #1 goal is to squeeze the lemon dry. Blame the team directors who ignore the high cost associated with their team parents/families watching their kids play at MADE Hoops events

What in the world is going on???
Made Hoops West Mania (LA Convention Center)

Being in your early 40s is weird, man. People around your age are in every stage of life. You have people who are grandparents. You have people who have newborns. You have people dating 25-year-olds. You have people celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary. Some of them look 60, and some of them look 30. All the bases are covered when you are in your early 40s.

Posted this at 9:55. On3 at 10:01. Wash, rinse, repeat for the umpteenth time.
Since yesterday, dozens of reporters have reached out privately, saying they deal with the same thing constantly. Most are afraid to call them out publicly. I'm not.

I've been in grassroots basketball for 30 years. I put LeBron James & his HS team in UCLA Pavilion in front of 13k fans on ESPN2 in 2003. You got 4 NIL basketball clients. Get off my time line. I've had enough of your BS lol
