In boys basketball, he is known as the coach that gets his players national recognition and ranked. He has had as many as 4 players ranked in the Rivals.com national ranking at the same time. Central's Jarnell Stokes was under his leadership when he became Memphis' highest national ranked player ever at #3. Coach Rhodes' Memphis Select Boys organization entering its 5th year in existence alumni include college freshman Nate Rucker (Melrose) at Northern Illinois and this years class Cedrick McAfee (Melrose) heading to Auburn, Aaron Jones (MS) heading to Ole Miss, and Octavious Ellis (Whitehaven) heading to Cincinnati.
Coach Rhodes has decided to bring his magical touch back to girls basketball. He was part of the staff that helped bring national recognition to Memphis girls basketball with the creation of Memphis Elite and MidSouth Lady Tigers programs. Also on the staff was Patosha Jeffery. Alumni from the programs includes Alliesha Easley (Ole Miss), LaKendra Phillips (Florida/Ole Miss), Jasmine Taylor (Arkansas State), Ashley Herring (Austin Peay), Kurstin Stallings (Florida A&M), Cheron Brown (Chattanooga State), Brittany Butler (Southwest TN), Danae Lawrence (Miss Delta), Lennisha Johnson (Kennesaw State), Candace Rucker (Colorado/Southern Miss), Amy McNear (Western Kentucky), Danielle Richardson (Chattanooga State), Jessica Plunkett (Christian Brothers), Ashley Martin (Southern Miss), Shonice Sprouce (McNeese State/LeMoyne Owen), Alexis Givands (South Florida), Andrea Holmes (Binghamton), Mary Jackson (Louisville/Memphis), Asia Minter (Kennesaw State), Deja Foster (Georgia Tech), Raquel Brigham (Southwest TN), Tanesha Washington (Southern Miss), Jakena Jordan (Southwest TN), and Courtnie Gregory (Southwest TN).
Coach Rhodes has an eye for recognizing talent early and bringing the talent and potential out of players. He is excited to announce that he is back in girls basketball with a 12U-14U AAU team, called Memphis Spirit. Coach Rhodes hope to develop and teach fundamental basketball at a high level to ensure that these girls are
successful and have the chance to receive college basketball scholarships.
