Two of my sons weren’t talented enough as basketball players to play D1 or get recruited by D1 coaches.
That’s a reality. I shared my take on their talent level as it was and as it progressed.
I never thought those two were D1.
See how that works. I was honest about my opinion and my takes without allowing my paternal bias to lead the way.
That didn’t prevent me from supporting them or supporting their dreams. It didn’t prevent me from continuously telling them to shoot for the stars. And it never prevented me from sharing what I thought their abilities were.
It didn’t define them as people or as players. Both have thanked me numerous times in their adult life for being real with them.
Julian Ortega unsigned 2026
Looking for post grad and college opportunities. Coaches wake up now, he won't be unsigned for long. Elite IQ, change of pace, knock down shooter, leader, and flat a tuff assignment 💯
