11 IMG ALUMNAE. 9 TOP-25 PROGRAMS. ONE SPECIAL GROUP OF YOUNG LADIES! 😤🔥🏀

The 2026–27 AP Preseason Top 25 is HERE! Some SERIOUS talent has roamed the gyms of IMG Academy, and we were blessed to play a small part in their development and preparation for where they are today!

One thing they ALL know: this bald-headed dude ALWAYS kept it a buck about what was waiting on the other side! Transparency, love, and availability were ALWAYS at their fingertips. Mentoring these young ladies was an honor!

Only ONE team can be crowned champion each season, which makes rooting for so many of our own tough! I don’t believe in moral victories, but these young ladies are ALL champions to me!

Wishing everyone a healthy and successful season! And before I forget… I gave ALL of them fits on that court, and I STILL CAN! 😤😂
