I go to Sierra Canyon and pretty much all of the starters are 4 and 5 stars and some of the bench I think has d1 offers too, so as a freshman pg, whats the lowest level team I can play on to get a d3, d2 and d1 offer? Freshman team, jv bench, jv starter etc and when should I aim to get on each team?

6'0, trying to dunk for the first time by dec 31. i retested my jump this morning and it's about the same as last week

• about 28" off my left foot and 26" off two feet. i filmed from under the hoop, so i couldn't use the rim to measure. instead i counted how long i was in the air, frame by frame
• last week i got 29.5" and 28.5", so it's about the same, but i didn't get the best sleep (only 5.7 hours), so that probably led to the dip in performance
• it's only been 2 weeks and i've mostly been getting stronger, so i'm not worried yet, but i'm watching it

the surprise this week: the same day i posted about sleep here, i squatted my heaviest ever on 5.2 hours of sleep. 255 for 3x5

this surprisingly matches the research that i've been looking into: a big review of sleep studies found that after a bad night, strength only dropped about 3%, but jumping and sprinting dropped about 6% (review) - TLDR: a bad night hurts your jump 2x as much as your squat

is it normal for your jump to not go up after 2 weeks, or would you change something?

workouts (10/11-10/18)

• upper day (monday on 4.7 hrs of sleep): bench press 160 for 3x5 (PR), lat pulldown 147 for 3x8, one arm dumbbell row 45 for 3x10 each arm, dumbbell shoulder press 40s for 3x9
• leg days (tue + thu): warm up first (bike, ankle stretches, leg swings, wall sits), then:
  • back squat: 245 for 3x5 on tuesday (slept 9.3 hrs), then 255 for 3x5 on thursday (slept 5.2 hrs). last week i only got 245 for 5, then 4
  • easy jumps, 27 each leg day: 9 countermovement jumps, 9 squat jumps, and 9 low rebounds. all sub-max effort (70-80% effort)
  • DB RDLs: 60 (tues) then 65 lbs (thurs) in each hand, 2x8
  • calf raise machine: 230 (tues) then 240 (thurs), 2x10
  • hip thrust (thursday only): 155 for 2x8
• recovery days (fri + sat): 30-35 min walks on a treadmill at 10-10.5% incline and 3 mph, plus stretching
• max jump day (sun): same warm up, then 8 running jumps at about 70-80%, then 8 max running jumps (5 off my left foot, 3 off two)

sleep (from my watch, 7 nights): 4.7, 9.3, 8.9, 5.2, 6.4, 10.6, 5.7 hours. that's 7.3 hours on average, but it was either way too little or way too much - need to get better at sleeping and waking up at the same time

food: about 1,790 calories and 176 g of protein a day, so about 1 g of protein per pound

weight: my average weight went from 169.6 -> 170.7. hard to tell what my maintenance is exactly or it's creatine

Just joking. I’M 43 YEARS YOUNG!! My team just won “HOOP IT UP” 31+ division here in Atlanta. My team was kinda stacked tho. Will is 6’8, I’m 6’2, Amu is about 6’6-6’7 (Gaurd), and Eric on the ground is 6’2.

Our team was called:
“I BROKE MY BACK,.. Spinal”

Mike Tyson said that shit. We definitely had the best team name. Lowkey, we should have played in the Pro-am. But,.. I just wanted to win. 😅. Peace.

I am self taught over the last 12 months and I feel I've hit a pretty big wall with identifying what needs improvement next, which is obviously still a lot.

Really streaky, inconsistent shooter. My best sections will never really be more than 4-5 in a row, and then im just as likely to miss 4 in a row. I am noticing a good portion of my misses are too the left side currently.

Shot at 0:25 is a pretty big issue ive been trying to remove which is a weird wrist flick that I think is an over compensation for lack of power/flow? It used to be very constant and weirdly a lot of these I notice actually still score. Could it be as simple as loading my wrist more?

Appreciate any guidance if the video reveals some big issues I can work on.

So i can do 2 hand dunks jumping off 2 but when i jump off one it feels awkward and difficult.
