Ryan Hollins sighting at Muir High

| | Comments (5) |

Ryan Hollins, formerly of Muir High and UCLA, was spotted just outside the Muir basketball gym. The Ryan Hollins Camp had just concluded and he was seen chatting with some coaches.

There were a handful of young kids and high school-aged kids playing ball in the stuffy gym.


It's always nice to see former college and pro ballers come back to their community and give back. I haven't seen much of Hollins' camp publicized but kudos to Hollins for giving back to his community.

The media tends to focus on just the negative stuff and when good things are being done by pro players it often goes unsaid. Here's hoping good karma heads your way, Ryan.

I was on my way over to Muir High to meet the Mustang football coaches. I couldn't find them or the football office until I ran into Sheldon, who greeted me with a friendly smile and firm handshake.

Sheldon helped me locate the football coaches' office and some of the football coaches.

I will have more on Muir football in Thursday morning's blog. All I gotta say is you have to tune in. Stang fans definitely will love what they'll read.

The rest of you, well, just be sure you're sitting when reading.

This was a good look for the community. Miguel you are right it didn't get publicized at much as it should have been. but this being the 1st Annual Camp, definitely look out for it next year. Lets try to restore Muir Basketball programs. Get that tradition back. We need to get the young boys & girls excited about the program there. More help from the community and parents will help restore that Mustand pride.

If you want to keep tabs on Ryan, check his website. www.ryanhollins15.com

Ryan, its D.P. all day!

Hollins was coached by don grant who his the head coach at chino hills now. prior to muir, don grant coached at arcadia where he played at. Muir hasn't had a good year since Hollins was at muir. chino hills had a great year last year. shows that good coaching goes a long way.
