I'm excited to share today that I've joined the @PrepNetwork_ team and will be helping to grow the @PrepHoops family with the creation of @PrepHoopsNext. There are a lot of exciting announcements on the way and I'm confident this venture will be a difference-maker in youth hoops!
🚨More to follow... Please be sure to follow on @instagram as well (@SpencerLPulliam) if you are interested in youth hoops and underclassmen content!🚨
The greatest sports tragedy of my life took place yesterday. An unforgettable moment that I'm struggling to comprehend as a fan. As a husband and father, the impact is even more heartbreaking. My thoughts are with all of those lost and their loved ones. Don't waste a moment. ♥️
🚨🚨🚨PLEASE READ🚨🚨🚨 Ask yourself if you are helping or hurting the culture and perception of youth basketball on the grassroots circuit⁉️
@DreMcDonald The number of events is a major issue as well. Too many talented players competiting in events that don't help move the needle with regard to the recruiting/selection process. You have to know who/what matters. Hint to all: It's not social media posts. Did it make a sound (LOL)?
“Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” x.com/jeffborzello/s… Remember this? 👉 goo.gl/Jtn9of
Found it interesting that 39 of 469 McDonald's All-Americans -- 8.3 percent -- made more than one NBA All-Star Game. So about two per class. Wonder which two from tonight's game would be favorites? espn.com/espn/story/_/i…
This is the best way to reach all the 🤡 because I won't see you in the gym. And I don't need/want the fake support, commentary, and/or RT if you are still wasting resources supporting/attending events + endorsing ppl you've never seen in the gym.✌️ x.com/spencerpulliam…
Asking for a friend: Will a day come when we stop empowering "media" who comment on players they haven't seen in person, discuss events they didn't attend, and name-drop coaches they don't know simply because they "show love" on social media? Not all clowns wear costumes.
This is NOT a new trend. Those in the gym w/ experience & proven track records have earned respect. And guess what?! They'll continue to be the ppl w/ legitimate influence that can actually help you. Are you chasing scholarships or social media attention? x.com/spencerpulliam…
Parents, players, coaches, etc DO NOT be fooled by 'basement bloggers' producing bogus rankings, articles, etc w/ recycled (stolen) content.
This highlights a concerning trend in grassroots basketball that I will continue to be vocal about. The person showing the most "love" to your child/player is not always credible. Be cautious and don't damage your own reputation by endorsing a fraud. Well said, @dougherty_jesse.
ATTN: Players, own your eligibility! Too often HS counselors are not versed in NCAA requirements. Good start here... x.com/ncaa_ec/status…
Stay on track to compete. Use our high school timeline to plan out your courses and academic benchmarks. More: on.ncaa.com/2otrFxG
Here's a general player comparison rule you should follow. If you didn't see the player you're referencing (and at the same stage), don't make the comparison. Period. So many of the analogies I'm seeing/hearing seemingly every day now in grassroots hoops 'evaluations' are absurd.
Please don't misconstrue my words. There are beneficial settings, but unfortunately, there are many more unnecessary events in youth hoops. Best advice? Ask questions. Verify everything. You can easily dream big, spend big, & be hustled with no results. x.com/spencerpulliam…
@michael12duncan Absolutely. In addition to hundreds (maybe thousands) of events that have ZERO purpose/benefit. Too many ppl paying for social media attention. Many are misled, others have such a distorted view that they are okay with it, and even crave it. Result = Real money. Fake publicity.
Asking for a friend: Will a day come when we stop empowering "media" who comment on players they haven't seen in person, discuss events they didn't attend, and name-drop coaches they don't know simply because they "show love" on social media? Not all clowns wear costumes.
What do you call ppl that change lanes indiscriminately, make risky maneuvers, & only look out for themselves on the highway? Reckless. So why call it anything else w/ regard to hoops? Don't fall victim to the reckless. Avoid following those that lack clear direction.
Too many parents/coaches in #youthhoops operate under premise that 'any publicty is good publicity'. Nothing could be further from truth.
Major contrast in 'getting lost' vs 'looking lost' in the moment. Enjoy every second while playing to your strengths. #intensity #noplaysoff
