If youâre a kid coming out of HS with pro aspirations, and you see what St. Joeâs hoops facility and training has to offer, why wouldnât you choose us? A lot of success stories of guys coming in and taking their game to that next level. Cool to hear from the strength training POV
St. Joeâs strength and conditioning coach @cspillercscs on the Hawks competitive edge - operating like an NBA program.

This is a great listen. A few takeaways:
- Our facilities are A+
- The foundation built at SJU is strong â the facilities, staff, culture, & community â and players & teams notice. Key recruiting edge.
- Cliff is the MAN. Weâre lucky to have him on our team helping the Hawks!

I love some Playerâs Era discourse on a short holiday week.
If you go to a festival in Vegas, you canât be frightened by the freakshow.

Just talking to a few friends about Gatorade Rain.
I think I remember them being pretty good? These bottles just took me back.
Revenue = maximum importance
70 year tradition that every cbb program in the country admires/envies = not that important!
Villanova head coach Kevin Willard went on âThe Sidelineâ with Andy Katz.
He gave his thoughts on the Big 5, saying itâs important, but he thinks it could be better. Losing two possible home games could hurt financially.
âWhen you spend $6 million on a roster, revenue is really important.â

Thereâs one man for the job on Hawk Hill.
âDonât ever defer to these people [college athletics administrators], they work for you.â
@CurryHicksSage details the relationship between programs and fans - encouraging disgruntled parties to voice their displeasures, but you better know your stuff first.
