2022 Prime Time Nationals has me pumped for #NBC22


 It doesn't take me much to become excited for Prime Time Nationals, "why is that asked the novices" and in my REAL EVALUATOR voice, I respond " because talent is everywhere" and I have a knack for knowing what I'm looking at. The young ladies above, Zori Bailey and Pulkera Ray are two of Team Lex Tarheels talented squad, how do I know the squad s talented, well I saw them perform in the skills challenge, plus I'm clairvoyant, only in evaluating. I also know Michael Gatewood is the director and I caught his daughter and several other players that helped lead Desoto to back-to-back state championships a little earlier than this group


I also saw some Oklahoma players from both Krush Queens and BTR, am I pumped to see their pipeline, yes I am, especially after seeing both the energy and enthusiasm from some of their players and I can just tell what I'm in for

Let me bring it home as I'll catch that up-and-coming Houston Lady Roadrunners squad led by director/coach Tyrone Robinson. I'll never forget meeting him and his squad what seems like an eternity ago who were around the same age as these young ladies. All went on to play at the next level and were led by his daughter Tasharian and now the baby, Tia Robinson,  has my eyes glued to her every move as her subliminal message "we got next" just grabbed me

I'll catch THE BABIES tomorrow #FieldhouseFriday is the hashtag, and I'm sure they'll be showing why one said " Don't Call Me Baby" but today, I get to ELEVATE off the ground, sort of, and catch one of my "must-see" teams EYG, from the PGH Circuit. Several talented players are on that squad including one of the top PGs I caught on that circuit, Sarahi Beltran. So let me get a quick walk so I can give "plenty of talk" as I start today at Drive Nation so I'll join Hiahni Howard and say PEACE OUT
