Trying to get more basketball players out. Was thinking of showing them some of his film from Saint Vincent Saint Mary to show them how good he was and he still considered playing his senior year. Does anybody no anybody that might have that on tape?

While I don't have any LBJ football game tape, I recently saw an NFL films piece on Allen Iverson as a HS football player and they had some game clips of him. Kid was a baller. Looked a lot like Vince Young. Might want to see if you can get a hold of that somehow.
Also, if I am not mistaken, board member phantom coached against AI back in the day and may have some old game tape.

If you are trying to get more basketball players out you should start to develop a good relationship with the basketball coach that can go a long way. Support the b-ball team and make it a parternship. We are a small school lots of 2-3 sport kids. The basketball coach and us agree the more involved the kids are the more we all benefit.

I know he may not be the greatest role model on earth, but Randy Moss was West Virginia player of the year for basketball (maybe even twice--can't remember).

Develop the positive relationship with the basketball coach and the players. Get your AD to create a 3 Sport Award to present each spring to the players who participate in 3 varsity sports (This is a BIG deal at our school - as the AD, I started it! ) It can be frustrating having a single sport (almost always basektball or baseball) athlete that you know could help you. Don't get hung up on it. Focus on the kids who are out for football and encourage everyone else to try it. Another thing we can point to is the number of football kids who have gotten college "scholarships" - mostly financial aide football packages - in the 6 years we have been here (a total of 13) compared to ZERO for basketball, and our basketball team has been District Champs twice!
