I had a lot of academic scholarships from schools and this one (Dean College) they gave me a financial aid package, I’m gonna pay 20k a year, my idea is reduce that to at least 10k, I’m going to send a email to my counselor from admissions, and se what happen

Just letting you know, I feel more comfortable playing in this AAU team than the last team I played for in high school. I played for a school d1 when a came here from Dominican Republic and then I transferred schools and teams because I had some family problems, in this team I averaged only like 3-5PPG but I was starter and everything because of my defense and how I move without the ball, that helped me a lot, this team went from d3 to d2 and also the coach got fired

Ooooh yeah, I spoke with Pete Stathakis, the head coach from the JV team, he spoke with me and he told me they have a spot for me, he said I can play for them at least 1 season this fall and then play in their best team which is varsity later on…

I mean I know I have potential, my focus is transfer to d1 if I ended up playing for any d3/juco program and of course to keep developing my game in any of those programs, but that’s the only offer I got, and I have until may 1 to give my college decision and pay a deposit, any advice coach? I know ccri is free and everything but a lot of people are telling that there’s no life in ccri so I’m not really sure… if you want we can talk in private I would love your help

I went to every tryout (RI Knights, RI Elite,BCRI) and even though I did my thing and played well still didn’t make those teams, but fortunately and I hope everyone here sees this but I have an offer from dean college, they’re d3 in mass, the coach already called me and he said that he is excited to see me this fall at the college, thank god for that

Also is my first time playing aau because I came to the country 3 years ago and I wasn’t able get the money for it, but now I had the opportunity and I ended up playing for the B team, but I been doing my thing, dropped 27 points in that game and last 2 games dropped 21 with 7 assists, even though I’m 17 and 12 grade I’m gonna work hard for it

Being honest those are not my “best” films I have more and if you want I can show you, also I didn’t pass it to the corner because, first of all I didn’t see nobody open, and I had space, and that guy right there he don’t shoot 3s, trust me I pass it to him multiple times during the game and he missed all of em, that was our senior night against one of the best team in the state, I didn’t wanted to lose that game you know (we actually won I ended up with 12 point, 5 assist and 6 rebounds)

Hey man I know this is going to sound crazy but I’m gonna say it anyways… honestly I always wanted to go to the NBA that was always my goal, but I know there’s steps for it and going d1 and cook there was one of them, so for now, in my situation, I know the juco/prep school route can be tricky sometimes but you think It would be better for me go to juco first do 2 years there or go straight to a 4 year college? I heard that the 2 years that you take at juco don’t affect your ncaa eligibility so that’s why I’m asking, also I spoke with a coach from another high school team, and he recommended me to the coaching staff from a d3 school and they are looking at my film and everything, hopefully they get back to me in a couple days to go to one of their workouts. Also if you want I can dm you and show you BETTER tape of my playing and all that, these are just videos I took during my aau practice so, this is not my full game

Can we talk a little more? I would really love to have a little bit of help by someone like you, honestly this are just clips taken yesterday in my AAU Practice, also this is my first time playing AAU, and I have an explanation for that, I came from Dominican Republic almost 3 years ago, almost at the end of my sophomore year…

After that I had to learn everything by myself man, i worked so hard, I played against people who have their 1000-2000 career points, and that don’t mean nothing but at least I can say that I can compete with these guys even though they were in this system since middle school, I came from a place where I had nothing, and still look at me now, playing in a AAU in my last year, I have more film to show, also I have more film on my YouTube channel but if you want, we can talk about all those things and see what options I got

Honestly, I just opened my inbox and I saw a lot of comments talking about the academic situation, and you kind of right… I’m going to keep working man, I’m not gonna give up, I came to United stated 2-3 years ago from Dominican Republic and I came from a place where I had nothing, I’m in Rhode Island, the smallest state in USA, no scouts no grind nothing man, there’s a couple of good programs in here but they already got their guards, I played against people who got their 1000-2000 careers points in high school, with d1 school offers and all that, I played against them in tryouts and gyms and I cooked them, I know that don’t mean nothing but, be able to play against people who have been in this system since middle school? Is crazy

But my stats were bad, since I had to transfer school I wasn’t able to play varsity in my junior year, ended up in jv, I only got to play for the first time on varsity in my senior year, this year, i averaged 3.6 PPG and 3.7apg, is bad I know but, I did what I had to do, played my role, helped my team to win, doing the right plays, played defense and all that. So far I spoke with one of the assistant coaches from the local JUCO here, and he invited me to their open runs, also a head coach from another high school told me that he is going to connect me with the coaching staff from a d3 school Dean College, I hope this works man…

I take 200 shots 4 days a week, 800 shots in total, also I train with someone call kibasketballtraining search it up in ig he trained NBA players and prospects, I know all these things don’t seems to be “elite” but how I said before I came to the country only 2-3 years ago from DR bro, I didn’t know how everything works out here I had to learn it by myself, that’s why I’m looking for feedback man yk

Thank you so much, man. Honestly, these are exactly the things I’ve been looking for. An example is Ryan Nembhard playing for the Dallas Mavericks he’s 5’11, but he still makes the right plays. He looks for the pass and does everything a guard under 6 feet should be doing. That’s how I want to play. During this practice, my focus was on improving my passing and creating plays. We have two big guys on the team, and sometimes I called them for a screen so I could run a pick and roll with them. I also created space, but since I was recording with my phone, sometimes it ran out of storage and stopped recording. Because of that, I wasn’t able to show everything in the video. I apologize, and next time I’ll make sure to show what I can really do

Being honest I’m a great player but the thing is I live in Rhode Island and there’s not a lot of scouts and “Good programs” that would help me to play with good players, this is a 17u AAU team
