Never go by what your friends tell you. Even if THEY play college ball you need to remember...
1. They are not playing for you. You are.
2. They don't know the talent your up against or what the coaching style is.
And you had a talk with the coach about your hard work? wth? ease off the emo stuff. Go to the coach and tell him you want to play next year. Ask him what youneed to work on and so forth.
I didn't play in high school and I walked on my college basketball team. At 5'11 you have decent height to be a guard. Don't worry about yourweight. There are plenty of guys in the league who are skinny and are strong. (tayshaun prince).
Also ask yourself...did you want to make the team to show up the holes that are on the team or did you want to do it for yourself?
I walked on my college team for myself, my senior year when I lost interest and had other things going on in my life I walked away. I kind of regret it, but Ialso wasn't going to play ball because of what it meant to other people. In the end it doesn't mean that much to others. If you wanted it, don't beashamed to say it.

If your a junior, what happened the 1st 2 years? I'm not reading that whole post, but it seems like you just started playing or something..
I didn't even know juniors were allowed to play on JV
back when I played baseball for HS only fresh/soph were allowed to play on JV

i dont know what schools you guys went to, but where im from it was embarassing for a junior/senior to be on JV.
actually, i don't even think our school let juniors play JV.
i would rather not play at all than be a junior on JV with 9th graders showing me up.

Son, I'm 5'7 and played on a varsity, state championship team. I sometimes played the 2. height is no excuse, but like dudes said when you're nothat tall, defense is key. You obviously didn't train hard enough.

Exactly. JV is for juniors. If freshmen and sophmores are good enough, they play with the juniors.

I don't think MJ made his JV team or something of that nature. Don't quote me. Keep trying and practicing.

5'11" 130lbs? that anorexic territory OP
i'm 5'9" 150lbs and consider myself pretty slim... I couldn't imagine myself at 130 being two inches taller
hit up the stay/get in shape thread for advice on putting on some muscle. at the very least, you should be doing heavy sets of squats, bench, and pullups/rows.you're probably not eating enough, and i'm almost sure your nutrition isn't optimal.
playing decent defense is pretty simple. get used to staying lower to the ground and move your legs without crossing them

Suck it up and get beter. You'll never make a team if you can't play fundamentally sound. Sorry for being blunt, but that's just how it is.

Ok let me start by saying what Im about to say may break you or inspire you. JL me and you have conversed afew times and im gonna be real with you and hope this helps.
First of all yea you didnt make the team, you only started working out 6 months ago these kids take it seriously and beenplaying ball most of there lives. You gave your self too much damn credit point blank. Now this is the great part about life, its never too late to be what youwant that is if you truly want it. I know your down and that means you have true passion, so get your +++ up and do something about it. Turn that sadness intoanger, matter of fact look at all these people in here going on you, take that anger and get up every day with a purpose to be the best. People tell you whatyou cant do cuz they dont have the will to do so. So right now you need to shut up and decide is this really your dream, if so train everyday, play people whoare better than you, train your body, play on AAU teams, wake up before school and train, make the sacrifices necessary... Simply put show me a man who neverfailed and I'll show you a man who never tried. On the path to great things adversity will come, now decide what you gonna do about it
