Cory Heitz (00:00)
Welcome to this week's episode of the Prep Athletics Podcast. I'm proud to have joining us coach Curtis Peery from Massanutton Military Academy. Okay. Now Massanutton Military sounds like a military school, but as you will learn in this conversation, as of a year ago, the basketball team does not have to do all the military stuff. They do have to wear a coat and tie. They do not have to drill and do all the military stuff associated with the school. So this is huge. This is something you want to think about because they're a big time program that plays in the EPL.
so they played good competition. They've had players go to the NBA in the past. send guys D1 every year. Curtis is a former D1 assistant coach at Maryland Eastern shore. So he brings that experience as well as his assistant who played D1 and also coached D1. So a lot going on there. Had a good conversation with Curtis on what kind of player he is looking for, how they do their college placement. The usual question, right? What does it take to be a D1 guard and much, much more. So enjoy this conversation with Massin-Nutton Militaries.
head coach, coach Curtis Peery here on the prep athletics podcast. Thanks so much.
Cory Heitz (01:24)
Curtis, welcome to the podcast.
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (01:26)
Thanks, Cory, for having me. Appreciate it.
Cory Heitz (01:28)
Yeah, it's
good to see you again and walk me back in time to where you grew up and what got you into basketball.
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (01:35)
Yeah, I grew up in Salem, Virginia. You know, went to to run out college not too far away from home and knew I kind of wanted to get into coaching at some point and so made my made my decision to go to run out based off Coach Moir Coach Page Moir and his affiliated with the NABC and kind of his connections and you know, with the hopes of you know, joining the college staff once I graduated so.
I was very fortunate and got hired by Frankie Allen at Maryland Eastern Shore who's run out college, all time great. Head coach at Division I for, I don't know, 30, 35 years and took me on as GA and just kind of fell in love with it and been doing it ever since.
Cory Heitz (02:18)
Yeah, now walk me back to your choice to Roanoke. So it sounds like you were specific that you knew you wanted to be a coach. And with this coach's, that's coach at Roanoke's connections in the NABC. Was that probably the main deciding factor? I understanding that right?
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (02:31)
It was a huge deciding factor. I don't know if it was the main one. It was a long time ago, I knew though. I had a teammate that I played in high school with. We grew up together, AJ Dowell. His mom and dad actually took me on a recruiting trip. He was at Hanford Sydney at the time and met him down there and hung out a little bit. And he's like, man, I'm trying to leave.
He decided to go to Roanoke and Roanoke was right there with all the other schools. And the fact that I got to play with AJ again at Roanoke was kind of the tipping point for me. But yeah, Paige Moyer at Roanoke, was the president of the NABC at one point. And his connections and his dad was all time when he was coach at Virginia Tech history. And so there was some deep connection, coaching connections there.
Guys that have played for him went on to college and to be college coaches. And so I kind of looked at all that and just decided on Roanoke and best decision of my life. So loved every minute of it.
Cory Heitz (03:32)
Yeah.
Good. Thanks for sharing that. Now, we did mention Maryland Eastern Shore. D1 program. All right. So you're at that level now and now you're at the prep school level, which we're going to get into. What lessons and strategies and just ways of doing things did you learn in that D1 program that you still incorporate today at Messin' Up?
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (03:52)
Yeah, know, played so run a college was division three, right? And I went from division three player to division one GA really kind of didn't know what to expect a whole lot, you know, in terms of different levels, right? And how they operate, you know, I got thrown into the fire by Frankie and, you know, was doing doing a whole bunch of everything, right? With the, you know,
laundry and team travel and, you know, coordinating, you know, on-campus visits and, you know, things like that, driving, driving a whole bunch of places and doing a whole bunch of things. And, you know, the grind is really kind of, kind of what I fell in love with, you know, doing things that, you know, maybe aren't necessarily related to coaching aspect of it, but understanding that, that it all comes down to, to coaching, right? And, and, and being able to drive a
you know, assistant coach down to recruit and kind of just sit in a car because I was a GA and couldn't go in at the time. And so was just hanging out. But understanding like that's, you know, that's kind of part of, you know, paying your dues, so to speak. you know, I fell in love with it, loved every second of it. It was a grind. you know, understanding that side of it to the prep school level where
It's a grind at this level too, right? It's just me and my assistant and we drive vans and we do laundry and we take guys here and there. And I'm getting ready to drop a kid off at the airport this evening to fly back, going to the airport again tomorrow for a kid at AAU. So it all kind of prepared me for the prep level and trying to help kids and build connections with coaches from different programs or different areas.
being able to help these kids get to college, it's all part of it, it's all great, things. So, yeah.
Cory Heitz (05:39)
Awesome. Awesome. Yep. Got to start from the start from that ground floor and learn how to do those things before you can move up. Walk me through this. When you're in the recruiting rooms with the head coach and assistant coaches and they've got the whiteboard with the positions and names, walk me through some behind the scenes of how those conversations go, because we've got a lot of families and players that listen to this Curtis. And I want them to hear like what these coaches talk like behind closed doors when it comes to recruiting.
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (05:42)
Start from the bottom, that's absolutely...
Yeah,
yeah, so like from a division one, we got all the whiteboard and different coaches obviously recruiting different players and a lot of those are like, one assistant is really high on one kid, obviously another assistant is really high on his kid. And so they're all making kind of their pitches to coach and we kind of watch film and highlight tapes and it really comes down to a couple.
a couple different things that the head coach is looking for. And it could be as simple as a kid not spreading the floor every time, right? It could be a guy making open shots or missing open shots. in the head coach's mind, it's like, he should have made that or he should have did this. And one little thing can determine it for a coach, right? And-
Each assistant has his own kind of guys, so to speak, and their job is to try to pitch them to the head coach. And ultimately, the head coach is there to make a decision. one little thing depends on the coach, right? Every coach is different, every coach is looking at a couple different things. And that's kind of their bread and butter. And if guys do those things well, they tend to get those offers. And the head coach is mine, if a kid doesn't do those things,
that he's looking for, he looks at somebody else. But it's a simple game. when you're talking about Division I level and really just college basketball in general, they're all good players, right? And when you look at a player and look at athleticism and size and skills and ability and things like that, it's all pretty even. But when a guy's going to-
going the extra mile, right? Or diving on the floor for a loose ball or man that kid sprints the floor every time, right? Or if you're a big and you rim run to the front every single time you're beating your man down the floor. It says a lot about who you are and what kind of player you can be. And ultimately whether a coach can say, I can work with that or I don't know if I can work with that, right? That's part of those kind of behind the scenes.
look so to speak.
Cory Heitz (08:11)
Let me see if hearing this right too. If that big man hustled and runs rim to rim, busts his butt, he was 100%, but doesn't have the skill yet, would your staff then have taken that kid over someone who might have had more skill but not gone as hard?
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (08:24)
Yeah, because you can work with hustle, Big kids tend to develop late anyway. And so you see a lot of kids, they'll get recruited based on potential, right? And ultimately, how is that kid getting better? Does he work hard when there's nobody in the gym, right? Is he by himself? he pull an assistant coach in the gym? Hey, let's get better on skills. What kind of kid is he as a human being?
Cory Heitz (08:27)
Mm-hmm.
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (08:49)
All that's got to show in the game in front of a coach, right? We can say as prep school coaches, we can call guys, hey man, this guy works in the gym. He's in here every night. But you still got to have results in the game, right? Like production, so to speak. But yeah, mean, ultimately big guys are really recruited based off of potential, especially now with today. Transfer portal and guys getting older and all this stuff and freshmen, freshman bigs are.
Cory Heitz (09:02)
Yeah.
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (09:15)
Everybody wants a big, right? But what's that separating factor, right? And I think for coaches, if a guy's willing to go the extra mile and play hard all the time, that's just something you can't teach, right? If you go watch high level basketball, right? Just Houston and Florida, man, those guys get after it, right? And you gotta have a level of toughness and a level of physicality to you. And you can-
take skills as kind of secondary when you're looking at those types of programs.
Cory Heitz (09:43)
Yeah, absolutely. Thanks for sharing all that. That was great insight. ⁓ From Maryland Eastern Shore, you went back to Roanoke and then Farum College. Walk me through what the transition was like back to that level in Virginia and then what you took from that that you incorporate now.
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (09:46)
Yes, sir.
Yeah, so at Roanoke and Farum, Division III programs, you have to cast a wide net in recruiting. So our recruiting boards look very different than the Division I level where you're handing out your full scholarships. You got 12 scholarships, 13 scholarships at the Division I level. Well, Division III doesn't have athletic scholarships.
You're trying to convince families to pay money to a school based off of academics and athletics and how we're going to treat your son and how we're going to help your son after he graduates. And so you go from maybe 50 kids, 100 kids at Division I level to 200, 300 kids at the Division III level because some families just can't afford a private school education, right?
And there's public school division three programs that are much cheaper than private schools. But it just depends on the family's FAFSA and financial situation being able to afford and then what that school is willing to do to help get some of those kids. And so it helped me at the prep level because we obviously have to recruit a bunch of kids in hopes to get a couple, right? And a lot of those families, they...
They can't afford it or they can't, or maybe they get division two offer late or division one offer late and they decide to go to college as opposed to prep. And so a lot of those kids may fall through or whatever, but you got to talk to a lot of families, got to talk to a lot of AU coaches, a lot of high school coaches. And you're trying to get kids that kind of fit the way you want to coach. And we look for toughness and physicality here, right? So we're trying to get.
good character kids with some toughness to them. those aren't easy to find, right? And so you have to, this year we had kids from Rhode Island and Florida and excuse me, Rhode Island and Texas and North Carolina, California, like all over the place. And we had three international kids from three different countries. we expand our horizons as far as we can and we're trying to find the right guys.
Cory Heitz (11:57)
Yeah. And tell me about this. This is your time to make the pitch for Massinutt and both as a school and as a basketball program. Tell folks that don't know much about you and your program. Give them the snapshot.
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (12:06)
Yeah,
so Massinette, we're located in Woodstock, Virginia. Got about 150, 200 kids on campus. We are a military school, so we have some discipline and structure that is associated with that. However, our post-grad prep school basketball program, we are not a military program. My guys wear a uniform, they're allowed to have a little bit of hair and...
But the daily grind is kind of what makes this place so great. Kids don't understand the grind until you're in it. But we wake up at 6 a.m. every day and breakfast is at 7. We lift weights at 8. Class starts at 9. Lunch is at noon. We practice from 1.30 to 4 o'clock every day. We got the evening off, dinners at 6.15, 7.30 to 10.30. We're back in the gym again.
then we wake up and we do it all over again, right? And so kids have an opportunity to get better. We're in the gym a lot. We work on skills and obviously getting kids bigger, faster, stronger in the weight room. And we do a really good job of getting kids to that level and preparing kids for college. My actual post-grad kids, they take college courses. So they get 12 hours of college credit here throughout the year. If you're a high school kid.
Obviously, you take high school classes, we're trying to get you to graduate. My assistant, KT, he played at UNC Greensboro, was a GA UNC Greensboro, so he's a Division I player coach. I coach at the Division I level, so it's a full Division I level experience here, what we try to do. And we play in the elite prep league, and it's one of the tougher prep leagues in the country.
five star native mint play in here last year. And Chris Jeffries, who's now going to Villanova, a bunch of highly talented kids. I think we probably had seven or eight division, excuse me, seven or eight top 150 kids in our conference. So it's not an easy league. We did very well this year. We finished third in the conference. We went to the national tournament in Connecticut.
lost to Putnam Science who ended up winning the national championship and in the elite eight. So it's not easy basketball. But if you want to get better and you want the opportunity and you want to get the exposure, there's really no place better than Massive Nut.
Cory Heitz (14:18)
I love it. Thanks for sharing all that. Now, obviously the big challenge for you is the word military in your school's title. And look, man, Air Force Prep School, Air Force Academy, Air Force Officer. I get it all. I get the benefits. It doesn't scare me. It doesn't scare you, but it scares a lot of kids. So break down more specifically, Curtis, like for the post-grad, you say they got to wear uniform, but like what all do post-grad have to do militarily? And then walk me through the underclassmen, like what that looks like for them.
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (14:20)
Yes, sir.
Absolutely.
So the underclassmen that are not in the prep program are a full military school, right? So they gotta shine their shoes, they gotta make their bed, they gotta drill in the mornings. They're actually drilling right after lunch today. We've got our alumni weekend coming up this weekend. So they gotta march in parades and all that type of things. We used to do that.
Last year in August, we made the switch to a non-military program. So when I say my guys wear a uniform, we wear shirt tie, khakis, and a blazer. We don't actually do any of the military stuff. The other kids, they go to the barber and they get cut down with no guard, so to speak, or one guard, right? So they don't have any hair.
My guys are allowed to have some hair. They can have it braided and a little bit longer than the other guys. But yeah, so in terms of military stuff, we don't actually do that anymore. We used to. I'm sure all my former players are probably pretty mad at this because they had to do all that. I think it made them better. But in terms of recruiting, I think this is gonna help us in the future.
Cory Heitz (15:43)
Thank
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (15:51)
We saw great results this year and we had a great group of kids. They're all kind of great human beings, so to speak, and they made it easy this year. So we'll see how it progresses. yeah, technically we are a military school, but we're not a military program anymore.
Cory Heitz (16:06)
Okay, so you say the prep guys, even the underclassmen that are in the basketball program are doing coat and ties. Okay.
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (16:10)
Correct. Yep. Even the other.
So it's a completely separate program. ⁓ We live separately from everybody else. We have our own barracks and everything is kind of separated. Same daily schedule, but instead of eight to nine in the morning where the other kids go out to the football field and track and march, we go into the weight room and get stronger.
Cory Heitz (16:15)
Gotcha.
Yeah, makes sense. Yeah, that's great. That's so much looser than the old days there. So I think that's great. Let's walk through development. All right, because you mentioned you and you got another D1 assistant. From a D1 player, it's an assistant. Family's always asked me about development at this prep school versus that prep school. And sometimes that's how they choose where they're going to go. So break down as specifically as you can. Like if I'm coming there,
starting in August, what's my development look like and how are you going to get me better?
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (17:02)
Yeah, so the biggest thing from high school to college is the weight room, right? We've got to get stronger, we've got to get more athletic. And a lot of kids you see either need to lose some baby fat, so to speak, and then the other guys got to gain weight. So we feed them protein shakes and things like that. We've had kids gain 15, 16.
Cory Heitz (17:08)
Hmm.
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (17:24)
I've had a go from 285 to 233 and he saw his athleticism increase tremendously. This year we had a kid gain 23 pounds. So that's probably the biggest thing. ⁓ And then from a development standpoint, I don't like to try to paint kids into a box. Like, hey, you're a point guard or you're a center or you're, we wanna get better at everything. And so we got guys that,
Cory Heitz (17:37)
Mm-hmm.
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (17:48)
know, our centers are doing ball handling drills. Our point guards are doing post up drills. We want to incorporate everything with these kids so they can get better at almost everything, right? The footwork in the post, the ball handling on the perimeter, the shooting off the bounce, floaters, threes, catch and shoot. I don't know if you can hear me, but we got a kid in the gym right now. He's on the shooting machine, the gun.
You know, he it's just part of, uh, you know, getting better is, is I think you have to work on everything, right? When you're 16, 17, 18 years old, like you've, you've got a lot of things to improve. Um, and, and, and to kind of separate that and, uh, for a marketing standpoint, from a college coach perspective, right? Like you want a kid that can do multiple different things, right? Um, so we, we want to work on multiple things. So that's kind of our, you know, our development approach.
And I think our guys here got better this year. At least I hope they'd say that. I think our guys in the past have gotten better. A lot of guys say, man, I wish I did two years at Massanuddin or three years at Massanuddin. We've got guys, some guys returning and I kind of joke with them like, hey man, where are going next year? you coming back here? Coach, I'm not leaving Massanuddin, I bleed purple and gold. Kids.
Kids here, they love it because they get better. It's a good environment to get better.
Cory Heitz (19:12)
Love it. Do you have two teams there or just one prep team? I know the answer to this one, but you guys are not required, your students are not required to play multiple sports if they're there for basketball. Right. Okay.
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (19:15)
Just one prep team.
No sir, no sir. My
kids are strictly prep school basketball.
Cory Heitz (19:29)
Perfect.
Perfect. you mentioned earlier, kind of player looking for is that as toughness, right? And character, how do you find that? Like where do you, where is massing that and getting their players?
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (19:39)
So we've got kids from all over the country really. We got into Atlanta a little bit, we had a kid, Kyle Hill, he's from Augusta, Georgia. Great human being, probably one of the better kids, maybe the best kid I've ever coached as a human being standpoint. He's a 6'8", 220 kid, it's easy amid major prospect, works his tail off but.
Yeah, I mean it's hard right like sometimes you you know you bring in a kid and we've had some kids that I thought were a lot tougher than then they were You know once you get into you know waking up at 6 a.m.. And weights and doing essentially three practices a day You never really going to find out how tough a kid is until they they do that every single day for four months on it right? so you
You call their AAU coaches, you call their high school coaches, you try to find out any kind of information you can on just kind of how tough that kid is mentally and physically. Is he mentally ready to do this? And I tell families too, like if you like basketball, Massinuttin is not the place for you. You got to love basketball to be here. And we want those guys that absolutely love basketball and love to be in the gym and get better.
Cory Heitz (20:45)
Yeah, perfect. Now with the transfer portal and all the people available for these college programs, your job as a prep school coach and doing college placement has gotten tougher. with that being said, what is your strategy for getting your, your players placed in college?
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (21:00)
So it's the exposure piece, right? We play a hard schedule, I would say we probably play one of the harder schedules in prep school basketball. We go to the Hoop Hall in Springfield, we go to the National Prep Showcase, there's a bunch of college coaches up there. We go to Florida, IMG, we play NBA Africa down there. We play in the Elite Prep League. And so we play against other guys that have offers and other recruitment guys.
We just say, hey, look, if you want an opportunity, you got to go beat this kid that's going to Duke or beat this kid that's going to wherever, right? And so it's an opportunity for our guys to say, all right, look, I'm better than this kid. I was never able to do that in high school. But now I have that opportunity in prep where I get to play ABC, right, from a college coach perspective, like this kid's a top 50 kid or top 100 kid or whatever, right?
How good are you? Well, we're gonna prove it today, right? And so getting guys recruited is always hard. I don't think college coaches trust the prep school level, at least not all of them. They bring in kids and they kinda second guess some of these kids. And from a prep school standpoint, there's no kid better prepared for college.
Especially at this level, like you're talking about a high school kid or a prep school kid, I would say even some Juco guys, prep school is a better option, right? And I know they get that year back now in Juco and the rules are changing. But elite prep league guys, if you go to Mount Zion and Hargrave and Fork Union, all these other well-known programs, they all have college basketball guys.
And I think if college coaches would come into gym more, they would be able to see that. But recruiting has changed, right? You gotta get older guys and transfer guys and it's hard to pass up a guy that's got 50 college games under his belt as opposed to a kid that doesn't have any. they're good players at this level that can help college programs in the future.
Cory Heitz (23:02)
Yeah, I get it. get it. Thanks for sharing that. What do you see as the future of prep school basketball? Like five years from now, what's it going to look like?
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (23:08)
Man, I hopefully it's better than what it is now. I think it's in a good place. five years from now, who knows what's going to happen? The way things are changing with the NCAA and these lawsuits and kids getting years back. I think we kind of have to let the dust settle a little bit on what's going on on that level. I do think that.
You know, with the NIL packaging and the contracts and, you know, some of these other things, think from a college level, it's got to be a little bit more clear. And I think a lot of those coaches would agree with that. But, you know, I have no idea. Hopefully it's better than what it is now. You know, more players want to go prep, I hope. I hope they see the value in it. We play college basketball rules, so it's...
It's kind of an opportunity to to play college basketball without actually playing college basketball and using those years of eligibility. But yeah, mean, five years is a long time. knows what could happen between now and then?
Cory Heitz (24:03)
Okay,
what does it take to be a Division 1 Guard?
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (24:06)
Man, division one guard, you gotta be able to guard your spot. You gotta be able to get guys to rock, get playmakers to rock, get shooters to rock, the bigs involved. You gotta be able to play defense and rebound and then ultimately as a division one point guard, you gotta be able to make an open shot, right? If your wing is your best player leading score, he's probably gonna get double teamed.
You got dominant big, he's probably going to get double teamed. And when they kick the ball back out, you got to be able to make an open shot, be able to have guys respect that.
Cory Heitz (24:44)
Yeah. Love it. Curtis, we're going to finish up with some quick hitters here. All right. Who's the best player you ever played against?
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (24:47)
sir.
man, best player I've played against. I actually played against Rayjohn Rondo at Oak Hill when I was in high school. That was way back in the day. But yeah, I'd say he's probably the best player.
Cory Heitz (25:03)
Okay. Who's the best player you coached against both at the college level and at the prep school level.
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (25:08)
Cam Thomas.
Cory Heitz (25:09)
Where was Cam when you coached against him?
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (25:09)
He
was at Oak Hill, it was an exhibition game here at Massanot and I think Cam dropped, I don't know, 46 on us or something like that. There was not much we could do with him.
Cory Heitz (25:21)
Okay, what's your favorite movie?
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (25:24)
Favorite movie. I'm actually watching Yellowstone right now, so don't really know. mean, I like them all, but you that's what I'm watching right now.
Cory Heitz (25:34)
Okay, and when you're not doing basketball and watching Yellowstone, what are your hobbies?
Cpeery@militaryschool.com (25:38)
I go fishing. ⁓ I like to fish and we travel the state and try to catch different species and just kind of lets me disconnect and get a little lesson in patience. So yeah, I like to fish.
