I am Ryan Mogdrosh, alongside Zach Noble.

Joining us in studio to my left from Bleacher Report and Slam,

0:20.6

founder of Hoop Focus, Ashton West. Ashton, what's up, man? Living life, man. Thanks for joining us today. Yeah, thanks for having me, guys, seriously. The Yankees hat, he's pulling a LeBron. You know, I get everywhere I go, like, this is like my favorite hat. Like, I just, and I love New York. It's classic. But I, I, I, I, I, I, maybe I'm like outing myself right now and coming out as a fraud. But I like, I hate baseball. And I hate baseball. I don't have to. Baseball, too. Welcome. Perfect. That'll be that hate baseball, but I love, but I love what it kind of like the success and what the Yankees represent. you know what I'm saying. I can feel that. So last night, I was creeping on you.

0:57.8

And, you know, I love what it kind of like the success and what the Yankees represent. You know what I'm saying? I can feel that. So last night, I was creeping on you. And you were in the house that I built last night. Okay. Blue Valley High. Okay. Yeah. It's going with the U.S.C. I think we're going to need to double check that one. Justin Jackson's brother. See, we had Justin Jackson on the show. You did. And I did not know that his brother was a Blue Valley kid. And after that came out, all my friends were like, dude, should have talked about his brother. He's at Blue Valley. And that would have been perfect because I went there, but how real is he? Yeah, man. Real deal? Absolutely, man.

1:41.6

Like, so our, like, the way we structure things, man, we want to cover the best high school basketball players possible with out having to get on a plane and go film like Mello up there in Ohio or Cassius in California or whatever.

1:45.1

So it's kind of our job to be able to find guys that are going to do numbers and going to get the views and that can still play at the same time. And so Jonathan's

1:50.2

situation is pretty unique. He was in Texas. He was in, I think, the Dallas area. And then they

1:56.0

moved up here and he was homeschooled. And he's always played for the Nike program out of here,

2:01.6

Mokane. And I've known about him for a long time. And his family's really, really, really private.

2:08.2

And I think they're, as you guys can all see, if you follow Justin on social media,

2:11.9

they're pretty religious too. So I reached out not even knowing what necessarily type of response I was going to get from his family. And we had our first ever who focused camp this in October, like 20th or something of this past year. And, you know, I was like, hey, like, I don't do this all the time, but I want to pick up the phone and I want to touch base with you because Jonathan's not on any form of social media whatsoever.

2:36.9

That's awesome.

2:37.5

I love it.

2:38.1

Yeah, I texted him last night and I was like, yo, bro, like, we hate that.

2:42.1

2019.

2:42.7

Yeah, I was like, yo, bro, like, you made those social media accounts yet, man?

2:45.3

Like, I'm trying to, I'm trying to tag you in these things. Like, let's blow your social stuff up. And he's like, no, man, like, still without nothing. I'm like, cool. But that's the type of kid this dude is. And so anyways, I reached out to his dad and was like, hey, we'd love to have him at our camp, not knowing necessarily what kind of response I was going to get. And he really floored me with like, yo, Ash, like, thank you so much for reaching out because even in Dallas and ever since we've been here, Jonathan has gotten no coverage compared to Justin. And I didn't even really think about it because Justin was like top 50 in the country. Like he was at every, you know, you know, every major camp in the country. He was highly publicized. And then you have Jonathan who, like, I think may be

3:25.2
