Forget the NBA Finals – Tuesday is a much bigger day in the eyes of Hudlies, as 14 teams will endure a day-long double-elimination 3-on-3 basketball tournament in downtown Lincoln. We will begin bright and early at 7 a.m., with 25 games leading up to the Championship at 5:30 p.m.
Team entries came fast and fierce when the tournament was announced two weeks ago, and there may have been some under-the-table negotiating for former college basketball players like Tyler DeBoer and Ryan Stubbe. Another hot prospect was Kyle Murphy, one of the top minds behind New Hudl for Basketball. Murphy’s team will kick off the tournament against DeBoer’s squad in the opener at 7 a.m.
Then there’s HR Recruiter Todd Prauner. He just submitted his own team of Hudl stars without gaining prior commitment from anyone. He called it the “power play” approach. We have yet to hear from those he claimed as “teammates”.
The six first-round matchups will be complete by 9:30 a.m, but the forecast calls for temperatures in the mid-80s. The league expects that to wear down some of the weaker teams throughout a long day of basketball.
Eric Broulette is easily the most photogenic Hudlie to date. His smile can light up a room and his friendly disposition radiates in every Kodak lucky enough to capture even the tiniest glimpse of him.
A couple of weeks ago, we wrapped up the 2013 Hudl Up Tour, an eight-week event through 37 cities that reached nearly 2,500 coaches, and we finally got our bearings to give a quick recap.
Morgan Hohbein is sneaky. She does all kinds of stuff around the Hudl office, but you wouldn’t know unless you were really paying attention. Yeah, she’s a rockstar when it comes to supporting coaches, but the girl dabbles in account management and participates in all kinds of interoffice activities on top of those phone and email-answering duties.

You can’t take a camera everywhere you go. It’s just not logical. But you do usually have your phone. Now you can use your Android mobile device to capture video anytime, anywhere. Don’t worry about having a network connection: You can record until your heart’s content and upload hours, days, even weeks later. However long you need to find Wi-Fi.
April showers brought May awesomeness to the Hudl support team. Even though our call numbers continue to go down, we tried to 
Matt Munger hasn’t been at Hudl too long - about six months, if we’re getting specific - but he’s already making waves with all things football. That makes him pretty great in our book. 
As an athlete, you can already use your iPhone or iPod Touch to tag highlights as you’re watching full game film. Pretty great, right?
John Prauner has been part of the business development team for about five months now. He hopped on board in December as the brains of our new fundraising operation, and it would be hard to deny the impact he’s made. Our Insider Accounts are in full swing and Campaigns are on the horizon. JP is more excited than anyone.
