D1 Ambassadors Given Props By Big Shots Jeff Schneider

Below are excerpts from Jeff Schneider’s Big Shots Today Basketball Report.  I’ve known Jeff for years, long before I got seriously involved in basketball.  He was a great player at Virginia Tech, is part of Tubby Smith’s coaching tree, and was an excellent Head Coach at Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo.  I count Jeff and his son, Kevin amongst my closest basketball friends (and friends away from the game). 

He runs some of the country’s biggest and best NCAA Live Period events and is highly respected as an evaluator of talent. Jeff and Dave Telep (ESPN National Recruiting Analyst) have both acknowledged the D1 Ambassadors as consistently the top program in the country that is not sneaker sponsored (and better than most who are). Today, the D1 Ambassadors received two mentions in his respected daily recap.-Coach Max Ivany
