2028 Collin Morrison is back to work this fall after a strong summer. The 5’11.5” (5’11” wingspan) 176 lbs PG continues to improve as a lead guard while still bringing toughness and winning qualities. He tested at a 33” max vert and a 225 lb bench press. Keep working Collin!

Celebratory team dinner at Buca di Beppo after the round 1 win in the Jack Tosh!!

Our boys showed a ton of resilience fighting back from down 8 at half after an abysmal 3-18 from 3. Took a 6 point lead into the 4th. Went 8-20 in 2nd half and withstood a great buzzer beater pull-up 3 to send it to OT. Stayed together and found a way. GBW 1-3-1 is very tough.

I watched every 3-2 take by Bryce Harper in 2025. Here’s what it revealed: 1️⃣ Yes, Yes, No Approach - he is swinging until the ball tells him “no”. His barrel starts to turn on almost 100% of his takes. You will see these type of “active takes” with pretty much every high level
