These things cost $0:
Being on time
Active listening
Looking someone in the eye
Giving great effort
Attention to detail
Smiling and laughing
Having patience
Forgiveness and empathy
That’s a lot of bang for your buck if you choose to invest!
Mid-season truth: Players are beat up, frustrated, and tired. The choices that a player makes will affect the rest of their season. They can skip treatment or wake up earlier and go. Skip class or do the extra credit. Study the film or play games. Choose wisely...

Come by my table at New Student Orientation outside the bookstore!
Many football players will come to work this week disappointed about their role. I challenge anyone to not let that disappointment affect their commitment to the team and find a way to better themselves. Play the long game!!! You never know when your number could be called!!!
As a relative outsider (didn’t play CFB & had non-FB career) I truly appreciate all the great coaches out there who share their knowledge with anyone who wants to learn. Football is about teaching, growing, & improving. “Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a bushel basket”
Proud to announce I’ll be joining the
@HUBISONFOOTBALL
program this fall. Can’t thank everyone enough for their support and I can’t wait to get to DC! Go Bison 🤘🔵⚪️🔴🏈
Proud to announce I’ll be joining the
@HCC_Football
staff! Can’t thank
@CoachJHancock
enough for this opportunity. I’m grateful and excited for the chance to coach in the best JUCO conference in America! Can’t wait to get to work! 🏈🔵🟡🌻
#GoScotties
I can’t sign every kid I recruit and I know that going in. But I sure as hell will support and help any kid I can to find their right opportunity & guide them through the process. This is about the kids, I don’t understand why we can’t all just be transparent with the kids. 🤷♂️
KU has the best support staff for students of any school in the country. The opportunity for success can be found in any building on campus. Doesn’t matter if you’re a freshman, transfer, or non-trad. student you can find the resources you need to be successful.
Thank you Highland, KS for an amazing two years. Coached ball, got married, made friends that became family, and gave it all I got.
I’ll always cherish this place and time in my life!
The Jayhawk Conference is the SEC of JUCOs. You clash against ballers every week and get exposure to coaches at all levels. If you want to ball out and prove yourself, the opportunity exists here.
#WhyNotHighland
As football seasons come to a close, take time to reflect on all the work you’ve done and all the work to come. Rest. Recharge. Reevaluate what is important. What you need more or less of. Take time for God. For family. And then get ready to start the process all over again!
Dear Kansas High School Football,
This fall has been the honor of a lifetime. To be able to attend games on Friday nights this fall 10 years after I graduated from a KS HS has brought me so much joy. To the players, you played your hearts out in an unfavorable situation.
Kansas recruits!!! Hit my DMs if you’d like to come visit campus and watch us on homecoming against Iowa Central! We would love to have you! Contact me and let’s get this done!!! Seniors, juniors, sophomores, freshman, doesn’t matter!!! Come see about the Scotties!!!
Late cycle recruiting truth: Recruits and coaches alike will have to make hard decisions. There will be frustrating and blissful moments. Not every school will answer. Not every recruit will answer. Swing for the fences and prepare to work no matter what.
You can’t beat what we got going on at WT…
Best stadium in D2
20 min from Palo Duro Canyon
Located in the Amarillo metro area (pop. 250,000)
Energized student body & beautiful campus…
CMON NOW!
2 years in West Texas‼️
Could not be happier with where I am, what I’m doing, and who I’m doing it with.
@natywatkins
and I have made this place home and are looking forward to year 3‼️
West Texas isn’t just a place, it’s a way of life 🤝 🤠 🦬
Proud to announce I’ll be joining the mentorship program to help grad students along their journey! Humbled by this opportunity. Special thanks to Dr. Bass!
Recruits: stars do not, could not, and will not be a measure of your HEART and PASSION for the game. Lists are just that....I know who’s at the top of MY board 👀
Highland really is different. All the coaches across all sports congregate and share smiles and stories. We’re a family here. It’s not a gimmick, it’s just authentic and people aren’t used to that. Come check us out…

What a beautiful day to finish our fall scrimmage season. Our guys played hard and we had a stadium full of KANSAS recruits. It was perfect. Thanks to everyone who came out, we can’t wait to put on a show in the spring.
Scotties are on the rise! More to come!

What a season opener for West Texas Baseball‼️
We had a warm breeze, heavy rain, lightning delay, rainbows, cold wind, and everything in between.
Comeback win, 14 K’s, and a gritty performance ⚾️
It’s a great day to be a Buff‼️ 🦬 🔥
Good morning. Here is a photo of Jayhawk and NFL legend John Riggins trucking through the Nebraska defense. I hope this photo brings you great joy.

JUCO guys: keep balling, trust your coaches, and get them grades. I know Covid did a number on recruiting but trust me when I say if you handle your business you will be found!
It is important to remember who you are, where you came from, what you are building, and where you are going. Exterior forces will always try to pass judgement without any knowledge of the interior. Don’t listen. Keep going. It will always be worth it in the end.
1️⃣ more sleep 😴 until the Buffs take the field to wrap up Spring ‘23‼️

Spring Showcase - 4/22/23 - 10 AM CST TOMORROW‼️

2022 recruits: don’t buy into the hype. Find the school that is the right fit for YOU as a person, student, and player. Fancy graphics are nice and the excitement is high, but don’t lose sight of the bigger picture. I promise I will always keep it real with you.
KC recruits! I know times are hard and the future is uncertain. I am trying my best to stay connected and communicate with you all. Thank you for continuing to work hard and be patient with the process. Never hesitate to reach out to me! The Highland Scotties are on the rise!!!
