The journey to this moment has been long one, and and I am deeply grateful for my family, my mentors AD and Trev from my Truu Handles Family, and my teammates, who will be lifelong friends. Having put in well over 10,000 hours into this game, I am motivated to reach the next 10,000. This milestone is significant, but it is only one of many, the journey is far from over, God willing. I want to show my appreciation and say thank you to my AAU coaches, Mom, Dad, Coach Ken, Coach Majak, Coach Capp, and all the 2024 PHH and 2025 Team Supreme Coaching Staff, Coach Thomas of Team Determined, Team Lillard coaching staff, Coach Taj and Nick and everyone who tirelessly advocated to college coaches about my abilities and my character as a person.

"SPARTANS SIGN SHOOTING GUARD MELVIN BELL JR. ON SIGNING DAY"

San Jose State University was able to get in with Bell Jr. because the 6-foot-6 shooting guard suffered an injury (shattering his tibia and rupturing his patellar tendon) and most, if not all, of the high major programs who had offered or were in pursuit bowed out of his recruitment. He visited SJSU and Murray State in September and DePaul earlier in June.

6-foot-8 21-year-old rookie Jaylen (Folsom High/Sonoma State/Washington State) Wells is averaging 25 minutes a game for the Memphis Grizzlies in the NBA and posting averages of 11.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists to date.

Myron (Vacaville High/Scotland Prep) Amey Jr. transferred from San Jose State University to Loyola Marymount and in two games/starts and 22.0 minutes an outing, he is averaging 12.0 points per contest alongside 2.5 rebounds.

..........................

6-foot-5 Courtney (Dublin High) Anderson Jr. went out of state to the University of Colorado post high school and redshirted as a freshman. One reason: turning 18 just before the season began in November. Now he is back and he has played one minute in the first four Buffalo games. Not to extrapolate too much or too early, but barring injuries, he may not play much this season and MAY face a reckoning of sorts if say two of Colorado's new recruits play shooting guard. Currently, Coach Tad Boyle has commitments from a pair of prep points, a 6-foot-4 prep shooting guard and a 6-foot-5 prep wing, and that's not even taking into consideration the transfer portal.

Amundsen is grabbing three rebounds game and has eight assists versus two turnovers.

The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight -- no, this is not about Jimmy Breslin's excellent novel on the Brooklyn Mafia but rather San Jose State University men's basketball team. Try 37% overall shooting accuracy versus 49% for opponents thus far. overall. It's closer on three attempts but still too low at 26% to 29%. Additionally, the Spartans being out-rebounded by six per contest versus Cal State East Bay, Western Illinois, Pacific and Hawai'i.

Who can help? SJSU needs a point and also a creator/shooter. Freshman Ben Roseborough could play the point in a pinch but he is best as a two guard blessed with extraordinary potential, someone who would immediately be the team's best shooter. The problem? One foot of his remains in a boot as feet issues have sidelined him for a long period of time. If he misses this season, it will be at least two seasons of basketball missed.

St. Mary's 87, Akron 68 box. The Gaels' Paulius Murauskas led his squad with 23 points plus freshman guard Mikey (Denver Prep/Prolific Prep) Lewis contributed 18 points.

UC San Diego 64, Sacramento State 54, box. The Hornets were down by 11 points at halftime but could gain only one point in the second 20 minutes.

Stanford 90, Northern Arizona 64 box. Maxime Reynaud led Stanford with 22 points and also 11 boards. Oziyah (Modesto Chrristian High/SoCal Academy/USC) Sellers scored 17 points.

In case anyone is asking or proclaiming, no, James Madison University's 100-52 victory over Mary Baldwin University does not prove male superiority twice over in hoops. I won't even touch the Virginia Military Institute 102-66 defeat of Christendom College on Tuesday evening.
