Truth in the Trenches

Truth in the Trenches – Hosted by Kevin Howell, Founder of The One-Eyed Scout

This ain’t about going viral—it’s about staying valuable.

Truth in the Trenches dives deep into the raw, unfiltered world of grassroots and jcollege basketball. From bounce-back kids to late bloomers, overlooked talent to gritty JUCO grinders, this show tells the stories the mainstream skips.

Hosted by Kevin Howell, a respected scout and voice in Texas basketball, each episode features real conversations with players, coaches, and insiders navigating the path to college hoops in today’s transfer-heavy, NIL-driven world.

If you’re a parent, player, coach, or fan looking for truth over fluff, strategy over soundbites, and real stories from the recruiting trenches—tap in.
