No offers, they ignore you. Offers, they love you. Either way? Love yourself. The media don’t care about you. They care about them clicks.

Kid: no offers Media: ignore. Kid: gets 5 offers. Media: our newest 4-star recruit. Baller! NFL comparisons 🙌🏾 Kid: gets excited over hype. Underachieves. “Let’s the people down” Media: Bust. Yal still trusting the ranking system to dictate your worth and career?

By the way, there’s amazing D2 football out there. There’s even good D3/NAIA football out there. Give yourself the best opportunity to play!! Because that’s what it’s all about!!

I lost my grandfather last night. I can't begin to tell you how numb I feel. I loved that man with every bone in my body. While we won't blame this on 2020, it's done nothing but forced everyone out of comfort and it hurts to accept this. Love your family and pray for mine.

Why offer a kid who has offers from all p5 programs. You being his 1010172th offer makes zero sense. There are so many other hungry and talented kids overlooked because of this. Recruiting is really 🤯 these days

I lost a client because I gave another kid MVP at a camp that one of my clients participated in. I’m assuming I was supposed to give the MVP award to my client before the kid who out performed him? Eh. Go see the other guys.

Strong advice, If you are a ‘23, shut camp(s) down soon rather than later and focus on putting together a stellar senior season. Keep connections with coaches and visit multiple campuses during the fall with some ammo (updated film) to support your case IMO.

Say for instance you do go and live your “dream” out at a major p5 program. And you don’t play.. guess what then happens? You transfer down a level anyways. Lol all of a sudden you’re “humble”.

Lost a friend due to an overdose last night. I was just with him not too long ago and that's what hurts me most. You would think people would be around forever until you face harsh reality such as this. I pray for his family and his son who he thought the world of. Hurting.

Here’s what I’ll say. Once you guys realize how lucky you are to even be recruited by ANY coach at ANY level - you will become more appreciative. It’s a privilege to even be considered amongst the elite to make it playing college football.

Don’t blame the portal. Blame your expectations. Blame yourself for forgetting there’s still FCS, D2, D3 and NAIA football available. If you have “p5 talent”, I’m SURE there’s a FCS or lower-tier program in your DMs right now that you’re ignoring.

A message to the youth: - Freshman football as a freshman is ok. - JV football as a sophomore is ok. - Compete to start as a junior - Stamp your name as a senior This approach is still perfectly fine. Do not get overly upset if your coach prefers it. It helps!

Deciding not to play football will destroy more lives than it will save. When you’re from where I’m from it’s all you have. You have nothing in the fall except football. You can’t convince me that letting the kids play will be the core of the increased COVID cases.

@bakermayfield Bro... Your starting Left Tackle came from D2. How do I know? Because he was my tackle as well. He went JuCo, to Texas.. then to West Georgia. But guess where he was drafted from? West Georgia. D2!! 😴

Called my first game today and yes it was a dream come true. It’s amazing what we can accomplish as an offense when we work as an army. Far from satisfied - but I’m extremely excited about this 2020 football team. Enjoy your W. Eastside is on the clock! 1-0!!

If I’m a sophomore with NO film and NO varsity experience the LEAST of my worries is offers. Instead - take this approach -Win starting job -Earn a spot on specials -Make plays Then in December - put together a 2.5 min highlight and next year this time you are marketable

I really wish HS Quarterbacks understood the value of being WANTED by a college program. I get it - we all want to play for p5 programs, BUT! I will rather be a big fish in a small pond over a small fish in a big pond any day. Our position is different. Only (1) can play.

NJ DB’s ain’t no joke You will be disrupted out here as a QB. That’s why NJ QB’s are so good. We really play against real talent. Not saying other guys don’t, but the talent in NJ is more superior than most think

It’s Monday. A new week! JUNIORS 👀 No offers? Just interest? I’ll be flat out honest - you should probably spend the bulk of this off-season getting bigger, faster and stronger + Attending VALUABLE camps to expose that. Traveling 7on7 shouldn’t be in your offseason plans.

My mom is adopting her 7th child this Saturday. I love her. If you want to know where does the core of my care comes from - there it is. We are giving people. We spend our lives helping people as much as we can. We wish we could help everyone. But we can’t. That’s what hurts.

Hello. Youth. Before you start concerning yourself about an offer (crazy), your focus should be making and starting varsity for whatever high school you play for. 8th graders feeling entitled to a college offer and haven’t played a down of high school football is just absurd.

How are beaches, supermarkets and casinos approved for opening but we’re still here trying to figure out if there should be football activity in New Jersey? A beach a long with miles of people is far more interacting than a high school football practice. Or game.

Aaron Rogers: No offers out of HS. Goes JuCo, just won 4th MVP. Cooper Kupp: No offers of of HS. No stars. FCS football, just won OPOY, Super Bowl MVP I think it’s time to retire the star and system. Just saying.

If you want a better chance at being recruited; - Register for Clearinghouse - Have at least (1) year of VARSITY film - Play as many pos’s as you can - Find the SPECIFIC coach that recruits YOUR area - Fill out questionnaires - Attend SATELLITE camps
