💙 SIGNED — AYDEN “AJ” AMBROSE 💙 This one means a little more to me. @AJ4ambrose For four years, AJ Ambrose has competed in a Florida PRO uniform, and I had the privilege of personally coaching him for two of those years. When you spend that much time around a young man, you get to see everything — the growth, the adversity, the big moments, the tough moments, and most importantly, the person he becomes along the way. AJ is without question one of the highest-IQ basketball players I have ever been around or coached. His ability to see the floor, anticipate what’s coming, and make the right play before it develops is special. I’ve been fortunate to direct and coach programs with some incredible talent over the years, and I can confidently say AJ is a Top 5 passer I’ve ever had in any of my programs. That is a serious statement when that group includes Ben Simmons, D’Angelo Russell and Amen Thompson — three players who became Top 5 NBA Draft picks. But what I’ll remember most about AJ has nothing to do with height, rankings or statistics. HEART OVER HEIGHT. ❤️ AJ has never allowed size to determine how much he impacts winning. His competitive edge, toughness and willingness to sacrifice his body have always separated him. And there may be no better example than this: AJ Ambrose is my ALL-TIME LEADER in charges taken. 😂💪🏽 That tells you everything you need to know about him. He’ll make the extra pass. He’ll get on the floor. He’ll step in front of somebody twice his size. He’ll do whatever the game requires to help his team win. AJ, watching you grow over these four years has been an absolute pleasure. I’m proud of the basketball player you’ve become, but I’m even more proud of the young man you are becoming. Now you’ve earned the opportunity to continue your journey at Lynn University. 🎓🏀 Four years of Florida PRO may be coming to an end, but you’ll always be one of ours. Go make your mark, AJ. You earned this. 💙 Marcus McGee #FloridaPRO #FLPROHOOPS #Signed
