Great day for the Chicago Hornets 🐝! We had the opportunity to evaluate some talented players today, and it was a successful session. Every player came in coachable, eager to learn, and brought valuable basketball experience to the gym.

Shoutout to the NPBA for putting together another great private workout. It was a great atmosphere filled with competition, learning, and opportunities to see players showcase their skills.

We’re excited about what’s ahead and look forward to continuing to build something special. Let’s get to work! 💪🏀

The NPBA Combine was a success! I went out to scout talent for the 815 Vipers and came away impressed with a lot of players who competed.

These scouting reports highlight the players who caught my attention and showed the talent, work ethic, and potential to bring value to our team. The future is looking bright, and we’re excited about what’s ahead.

To everyone who came out and competed—thank you for showcasing your game. This is only the beginning.

Welcome aboard, Rodney. Let’s work! 🏀💚🐍
