One of my favorite acknowledgements to hand out after camp is the "Mr. Hustle" designation.  My own son would win this award several times at camps over the years as a youngster. I always believe it's a great barometer of where a player is headed as the fomula of "work in, and results out" is a pretty reliable indicator of a player's capacity and desire to work hard and to be able to continue to improv ...

From all reports, a new brand of camp debuted yesterday in Phoenix (Mesa), Arizona. With the gym of storied Mesa High with it's great history of Division One players and State Championships as a backdrop the campers went to work.  With a capacity of 60 campers, 50 actually attended the inaugural Arizona Camp and were treated to a day of "blood, sweat and knowledge".  The NCCA defines rec ...

This morning I received a call from Pastor John Ofoegbu telling me his son had made his decision on where to attend college.  His son Uche Ofoegbu's choice, Southern Methodist University in Conference USA.  In the end, it came down to a combination of high end academics and an opportunity to play for a coach who really wanted him.  Matt Doherty was there at every turn of the recruiting period ...

Yesterday was a whirlwind tour of six different Phoenix area high school campuses.  I accompanied old friend David Grace of Oregon State University along with Area Code's Chad Groth went to a series of athletic periods and open gyms to catch some of Arizona's top underclassmen.  It was also a great opportunity to shake hands and build relationships with high school coaches as well.  It wasn't ...

As I tweeted yesterday at noon, 2012 G Alex Caruso of aTm Consolidated High School in College Station, TX has given his verbal commitment to the hometown Aggies.  That has to have a bunch of crazy Aggies yelling "WHOOP". Alex and his family had visited Colorado last weekend and up until mid day yesterday was conflicted about which was the best option for him.  In the end, the draw of playing in hi ...

The tradition of great point guard play runs deep with the Texas D1 Ambassadors program. Nowhere is it more entrenched than in Pflugerville High School's succession of outstanding floor generals.  The PG legacy at Pflugerville, an Austin suburb began with Bryan Beasley (Rice), Jonathan Garza (Lamar) and recently departed Deon Mitchell (Northern Iowa).The heir apparent is 2013 PG T. J. Williams. ...

This afternoon I received a call from Papa John Roberson of San Antonio, TX preceded by a text with a link to the 2013 NBA Mock Draft.  He asked my thoughts after seeing that his son, Andre was the #4 overall pick in that publication.  I replied the following:            http://www.nbadraft.net/nba_mock_drafts/8516/2013 1. Get an insurance pol ...

The Class of 2010 D1 Ambassadors squad coached by Jon Lindsey was one of the most feared teams on the circuit.  As back to back winners of the Houston Kingwood Classic they sent many a big name squad back hone scratching their heads as to what happened.  Some great players off that crew went on to play Division One basketball including Cody Doolin (San Francisco), Daniel Alexander (Texas A&M), ...
