"Congratulations to Assistant Coach Kendrick Saunders on a historic year at Howard University. Regular Season MEAC Champions and MEAC Tournament Champions. NCAA win in the First Four. Proud of you Coach Saunders."

"I am so happy to see my former coach winning in life and on the basketball court. He coached me at the The famous Five-Star Basketball Camp. He coached at The United States Military Academy at West Point, Princeton University, The United States Naval Academy, The Head Coach at Seton Hill University and now is is an Assistant Coach at Howard University. He is a winner. Two MEAC Regular Season Championships, and three MEAC Tournament Championships. Three NCAA March Madness appearances and was a part of Howard's first NCAA win this season. Thank you for always making time for me and my family. Thank you for always caring about your players on and off the court. You have always stayed true to your principles and has always showed gratitude for the blessings that God has bestowed on you. Transformational."

"He mentors both of my sons. He is generous with his time and his effort. Thank you for all your life lessons and patience with my boys. God is good!"

"Coach Saunders is a good family man and cares about his players. I remember him taking cafeteria food and drinks to the players that were diagnosed with COVID during the pandemic while they were in quarantine. He also volunteered to help with Covid testing at the University. High character coach and mentor to his players. I wish I had more sons that could play for him."

"Coach K treats my sons as if they were his own. Positive role model and father figure."

"Great game situation coach!"

"Coach Saunders recruited me when no other coach thought I was a good player. He believed in me and accepted me into his program. I am humbled and grateful that he took a chance on me."

"Thank you to my coach. My dreams of playing professional basketball have come true. I owe you Coach K."

"Congratulations to Coach Saunders and the Howard Bison on their MEAC Championship and NCAA Tournament Win."

"Coach Saunders helped me with my application and resume to start my coaching career. Thank you for the guidance."

"He was influential in helping me making the right decision when it came to deciding on which colleges to look at."

"Thank you for helping me start my career in coaching."

"Kendrick Saunders took away my love for the game. I️ thought getting a new coach would be a great opportunity and instead it was a huge mistake. He made accusations and belittled me for having a certain hair style. He accused me of faking an injury when I️ was carried out of the school on a stretcher. After quitting the program he threatened his team to move away from my dorm or get punished. Complete power trip, wasn’t good man at all. Would make a great politician though. "

"He made me hate being a college athlete which is something I dreamed of my entire life. Every week we practiced over the allowable number of hours with no regard to schoolwork or anything else we had to do. Practices were like military drills. You were punished and belittled if you smiled at any time In his presence. I can honestly say that of the 15 people on the roster, not one was happy. The happiest day of the year was when the season was over. "

"Great Coach and a great man of God. He changed my life at Seton Hill. Thank you Coach Saunders"

"I was a player during his tenure at Seton Hill. Very grateful for the opportunity to play college ball and thankful to coach Saunders for bringing me in. To be blunt, we ran over 115 set plays in packages of 5. We weren’t allowed to break off plays or often times, even call them out for fear of being “scouted”. We were at the bottom of the conference so idk why that even mattered. We were always the easy win on the calendar because we weren’t playing basketball, we were robots and he was the programmer. You had to be perfectly matching for every team function, practice or games, with white socks, team shoes, shirts tucked in, no jewelry, wristbands etc. I really lost my love for the game playing under him. The only thing that kept me going were the guys on the roster, which I will forever be grateful for him helping me cross paths With the guys that I will be friends with forever. We went way over NCAA regulations for hours practicing and went one stretch of 24 straight days with no off day, and only had it because a member of the athletic department found out and made it happen. And it wasn’t like we were competing for a championship or even a playoff spot, we were dead last in our conference. As a head coach, this was not a good fit and would not recommend. As an assistant however he seemed to be much better with Princeton navy and army. Lastly, Which is kind of upsetting is that he would always preach to us about a “40 year relationship” and how “we had him and the staff for life”. After The day he was fired he never responded to any of us or even said a final goodbye. Disappointing when you put your body, mind and time on the line for someone and they don’t even have the courtesy to share parting words or reach out. Just my input, I hope he is able to bounce back and learn from his time at Shu. "
