I’m here today to talk about the

Transfer portal

In my opinion it’s so unfortunate

That thousands of good high school players

Will never get a chance to play college ball

At any level

When I was being recruited back in 2011-2013

It was fun going through that process

Speaking to different coaches

Getting those letters in the mail or at school

I speak to so many kids now and

When I ask them

How recruitment is going

they rarely have

A good response.

Why is that?

The transfer portal!

Now days these kids are handed everything

From middle school

when that first coach sees

A kid with some great potential

It always gets messy from there.

Now days a kid can feel like he deserves

More minutes

More shots

More control over the team

And if they don’t get that

They leave.

And the quote always is

“I just want to better my situation”

But are you really doing that ?

Or do you feel like you’re that good

Where you deserve the keys to the team?

When I was in high school I remember talking

Back to my coach in offseason workouts

And he kicked me out the gym

I was the best player on the team!

But you know what it showed

The whole team?

If he can throw him out the gym

Nobody is above this team

No matter how good you are

When I was getting recruited

I didn’t have the knowledge or info

These kids have today

Only real help I had was from

My high school coach Francis Bowe

Who is currently at Carroll (Radnor PA)

And 2 of my AAU coaches

Danny Mcfarlin and Kris Leviston

Who are owners of grassroots program

610 City. (PA)

I look at some of the kids in both programs

And I think to myself

“Damn he had a better season then I did career,

How isn’t he on any colleges radar?”

I really wanna understand how

college coaches aren’t

Kicking their door down to give them offers

But then I look back and understand why.

I’m a coach,

I’m on the staff at Pottstown high school

I coach 17u aau ball for 610 city

And I pride myself on knowing

As much about the game as possible

To help kids reach their goals

But as I thought about it

I get it!

“Why would I take a high school kid,

When I can get this D1 transfer who

Just wants to play his senior year?”

It keeps the good teams good forever

And the high school kids

who are left get the

Leftovers

Either an offer from a school

Who hasn’t been good in basketball

In years.

Or a school nobody has ever heard of.

I write all this to say that I see both sides

Of the transfer portal

I wanna know from you

are you with it ?

Or against it ? 🏀💚

High school, college and even pros don’t ever stop working on your game. There’s a coach out there who would love to have you on their roster, they just haven’t seen you play yet. Market yourself and keep pushing don’t expect any handouts!

When she’s not suiting up, you can still expect to see Jones talking all things basketball on her podcast Sometimes I Hoop. One of the only female-first athlete-to-athlete programs, Jones has welcomed the likes of Clark, Flau’jae Johnson, Aliyah Boston, Hailey Van Lith, Aaliyah Edwards, Natasha Cloud, and more to the show. A project of hers since college, Jones opened up about how she worked alongside The Players’ Tribune to develop the podcast. “I feel like I can relate to them differently than reporters. I either have a personal connection with these people or have played against them, so there are plenty of things for us to discuss. I think the most important thing to me is just being able to grow women’s basketball,” said the California native. “I feel so many men’s basketball players have podcasts where they can freely talk. but there aren’t that many player-driven women’s basketball ones. I know these players’ stories and relate to some of them. Having a show centered on women’s basketball just gives fans more reason to want to watch our games and follow these athletes.” Jones has a point. Lately, we’ve seen a rapid rise and consequential success of current or retired women athletes in media. For those still playing, the option to hoop overseas is no longer the sole decision to earn offseason income. Through analyst roles, a podcast, or other broadcast mediums, athletes we’ve grown to appreciate on the hardwood are dropping gems on what it’s really like to play to a dedicated audience hanging onto every word.

Here today to bring you

Another take on a player I’ve known

For years and seen grow as a player

Even though he’s only been playing ball

A handful of years.

When I tell you this kid can Go

he can go

He can rebound

Score at all 3 levels

And now that he’s almost grown

Into his full body frame

Standing at 6’5

He will go dunk one on your head

Duce Jackson can do it all out there

This is a kid who you want

In your

Program

He will go do your dirty work

Anything he shoots in the midrange area

Is automatic

He his literally a match up nightmare

Every possession

Duce was able to have 2 big summers

And

A good great junior year

And it’s really starting to pay off.

Last summer he started gaining traction

On different school recruiting him

Playing with 610 city aau program

He took that into his high school season

Where he plays at collegium charter school

And

Was a key part of their district title

Championship

Then

He turned around and had another

Great aau season with 610 city

Duce was able to pick up interest from schools

Such as

Texas A&M commerce

Chestnut hill

Wilmington

East Strousburg

Alvernia

Arcadia

And a few more

This kid keeps elevating his game

Like I said he’s a kid you wanna have

In your program.

He went absolutely crazy in the live period

Posting up a 30 and 12 game

Against a good Newark Nj team.

Duce Jackson loves the game

Like I said I known him forever and

Coaches I can honestly say

He is a

Great kid

great player

And he is

Mr.Duceeverything 🏀💚
