And also I want to add this if people would get off of their emotional side and come together SETX could produce tons of scholarships for kids with the amount of talent we have but we let our kids go to Houston and play and make their programs better and make them money. If ppl are truly about the kids then this could happen .. It's a shame when AAU coaches have a greater interest in making a name for themselves than they have in making a name for their kids...I'm tired of hearing about who doesn't get along all I know is EGOS have to be put aside for this to happen. Doesn't matter who sends the kid to college as long he goes . We could have a legitimate show deal with this this but of course someone would get greedy take money turn kids against each other and then boom it all blows up ....this is why you have 20 summer teams in SETX because no one trusts the next man to do right ...I've think all the coaches out here do well and I think they do care about it because this is time consuming and costs money ...and I havent had any problems with any of them so I'm all in.....just something to think about...

Your right winwin it is case by case but txhoops sometimes playing on a so called higher level isn't what it's cracked up to be nothing wrong with the so called Lower level because as I've been told numerous times if you can play they'll find you no matter who you play for . It does help playing for a big name team but some kids get lost in the shuffle which isn't good for anyone in the end . Know a kid who played with a group for a long time had a couple of bad games they brought in other players kid left because his minutes decreased should he have stuck it out maybe but kids want to play not sit the bench and I'm sure any coach would say some basketball is better than none especially when we talking about developing

The point that many people miss with AAU is the opportunities some of these kids are given. It is still up to them what they make of them. To use an example, Kam McGusty plays with our 17u circuit team (same team as TJ). These kids are coached well and have one of the better floor generals in the country in JJ Caldwelll. Kam plays for Seven Lakes in Katy. He was MVP of his district. Pretty impressive at the 6A level. But after an Under Armour tournament this month in New Orleans, he picked up offers the following week from UT, OU, Kansas State, Auburn, and USC. After one tournament, not after an MVP high school season. Why? Because that is when those coaches saw him with their own eyes. After an undefeated weekend in Louisville, there will be many more offers coming. He and Josh Jackson from Detroit have battled back and forth to lead the circuit in scoring. And this is true for several of the kids on that team (including TJ). JJ leads the circuit in assists by a mile.

I guess if it's necessary to dance with the "devil" to get those results, at least these kids will have the opportunity to get a free education out of it...

Yea but then get out of shape playing high school ball lol ...plus some coaches in SETX don't come watch their players so they don't know what the kid can do they just put them in a system instead of being open minded thinking what can they do to get the most out of their players ...that's why I think Sam Houston flourished their coach got out and watched his players and saw he needed to make a change somewhat not in his beliefs as far as discipline and all that but system wise. Now they are projected to win Region 3 in 6a next year after coming within a game this year. That willingness makes players go out and lay it on the line for you knowing you were willing to do that

S/o to everyone who played in the Kingwood ,Under Armour and Gauntlet you guys represented SETX well ....SBG,DEFENDERS-DILL,DEFENDERS-KRAEMER ,DEFENDERS-BRADY, TEAM STAGE,GOLDEN TRIANGLE TOP GUN ,TEXAS FUTURE BASKETBALL.

Ps ..doesn't matter who the best team in SETX is that's all for show ,end of the day we have to make noise outside these parameters. Support from each would be key , I see Dallas teams do it, Houston teams do it,but not SETX it has to get better. Some of these adults step to the side and allow these kids to be friends even though their playing for different teams .

Yes sir. It's all about playing and getting better. Hard to get better sitting on the bench watching.

I think you have to mention Texas Future Basketball as a very solid 16u group . This group comprised of 9 soph and 1 freshman won the Gold Championship going 4-1 and beating Dallas Showtyme to take the crown. They have bigs and guards that can really play 😎

All of these young men have some good futures ahead of them...keep working and stay humble....

Threw back to back interceptions but thank GOD we bounced back....Rodney Randle you sir are wonderful young man and an excellent teammate .more so an even fierce competitor...if I could start a team it would be with this young man and Sage Seay ....i got alot of respect for these young men.

One fumble and 2 interceptions. When they throw deep, he seems to throw it a little too short and it gets picked off. The QB is a beast to take down when he runs with the ball.

That was an outstanding game between two great teams.....Nederland wanted it more congrats!!!!!

Just a note...Central did not score a point in the second half....

Do I think he's a great x and o coach no. But I do think he motivates his players as good as any great coach. I think he should turn his offense to the OC and let him work his magic. Can't do everything , it's eeems he doesn't have any trust in the staff..
