The talent level in Western Pennsylvania is crazy! Hampton, Sto-Rox, Avonworth, Bethal Park & South Allegheny Iโm en route! In search for the next wave of GRIFFINS!
Recruiting tip: Covid-19 has affected high school kids everywhere. Do yourself a favor and be pro-active. If youโve been contacted by a coach & there is interest apply and add the school to your FAFSA. Show the coach youโre hungry for that opportunity that not many will receive.
One of the first things I ask a receiver is can you hoop? Itโs a difference between playing basketball and hoopin. Receiver play is basketball on turf ๐๐พโโ๏ธ

@ShiftTeamJH
running a corner
โข Hesitation hop into an out/in/out foot combination with head & shoulder thrust
โข Swipe DBโs hand away, stack DB + sell vertical
โข Rocker step to sell post with head & shoulder fake inside
โข Whip head around + angle toward back of end zone
Recruiting Tip: Just because youโre getting D1 attention, donโt big time other coaches (D2, D3 or NAIA). That attention can fade quickly and those other coaches will remember your character flaw ๐๐พโโ๏ธ.

@AB84
running a hook
โข Explodes out of release with 3-step out/in/out move
โข Gets vertical to open DBโs hips
โข Sticks as DB opens up to run + attacks weak hip & blind spot
โข Attacks blind spot for 3 steps forcing DB to speed turn
โข Attacks blind spot again + snaps down
Recruiting 101: Recruits the worst thing you can do is big time a coach because you think youโve been offered by a โbetterโ program. Be a professional during the process you never know where that coach may end up or who that coach knows ๐คฒ๐พ
So many student athletes focusing solely on the dollar amount...take a chance on yourself and ball out for a coach that can make you great, a coach that will challenge your game daily, a program that resembles everything you stand for...the money will come!
โThe great use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.โ These two have helped put a stamp on this program that will only continue to go in the right direction....thank you!
Recruits...
1. Unless itโs important make sure youโre in school daily coaches are on the road to meet you.
2. Ask questions in these meetings.
3. Watch what you tweet/like/retweet
4. Enjoy the recruiting process, speak to everyone all levels! Never big time a coach!
Today was huge for our guys and the program! We took a step forward today and fought through adversity...way to bend but NEVER break! Griffins enjoy this WIN it was EARNED not GIVEN! Thank you to the ENTIRE student body and community for showing out today!
#TheGriffinWAY
Athletes...donโt allow a little adversity to cause you to forget your WHY! Like all things in life this too shall pass but when it does will you be ready? There will be those that use this time as an excuse to take it easy..donโt let it be you!
Being a good coach is nothing more than the ability to build relationships with your guys while earning their trust! I canโt fake who I am and I think thatโs why I get the rep I get

Word around town is you have to go into the city to find the โrealโ talent ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ Mercyhurst Prep, Erie High, Cathedral Prep, McDowell the PSAC Private School Champs are on the way looking for the new wave of Griffins ๐ค๐พ๐
#TheGriffinWay

Itโs funny how football works...years ago I was able to help win an arena football championship (12-0) in the same city I get to recruit amazing talent in...Erie PA Iโm here for a few days looking for Griffins ๐ค๐พ
๐ฃPSA: Any NCAA ready Offensive Tackles looking for a scholarship opportunity?!? D2 program looking!!! Drop your highlight or hit my inbox...ready....Set....GO!!!!!
So many football players are overwhelmed with emotion right now. Some itโs because you didnโt play your best last season and needed this year to redeem yourself...well let this be a lesson learned give it all you got everytime you GO! We will play again, WILL YOU BE READY?!?
Congrats to Our Guys on an Elite Semester Academicallyโฆ ๐๐จ๐พโ๐ป๐

Recruits keep flooding my timeline/inbox! Trust me Iโm going to get back to each and everyone of you! Just because I donโt respond right away donโt mean I wonโt. Closed mouths donโt get fed!
Sometimes in life you have to show the guys how to compete.... offensive coordinator (Robert Dutton) vs defensive coordinator (Eric Daniels)

#BCUfootball
It's a privilege to play college sports. I think sometimes people forget that and think that the game owes them something! Trust me people would love the chance to be a college athlete!
Donโt let social media fool you EVERY successful program does winter workouts/conditioning not just Division 1 schools and just because you donโt attend a Division 1 school doesnโt mean your hard work will go unnoticed
#GRIND
Everyday Iโm reminded that the position Iโm in is amazing! I get to do something I love and thatโs my job. I get to give back to guys just like the game was given to me ๐๐พ
Meet Wide Receivers coach, Andre London! He coaches football because it gave his life structure and discipline and coaching returns the favor he was given. His favorite memory as a player was working out for the Chicago Bears and his favorite movie is Bad Boys!
#MeetTheGriffins
Me: Cali Chris just let it go...and John I want you give me a good release and Iโll meet you in the end zone...
Them: thatโs a bet ๐ค๐พ
Itโs GAME WEEK!!!!!
Reason why as a prospective student athlete you should never ghost a coach or think you're too big-time. Signing day is Feb 5th a number of kids will get the news that their desired school is "full" or out of scholarships over the next couple days & their offer will be pulled.
Iโm honored to be apart of change! In the words of Frederick Douglas โIf there is no struggle, there is no progress.โ ๐ค๐พ๐ค๐ป this is for the culture!
On Wednesday, the PSAC announced the formation of a Social Justice Task Force. The group will aim to educate on diversity, equity and inclusion!

The receiver position isnโt for everyone...you have to have that it factor to you at all times...everybody wants that all eyes on me pressure until itโs time to make the big play.
#gottalovethisgame
This family is growing day by day! Tonight was definitely a vibe. To have the entire team at the movies just enjoying a Friday night is what this game is about โ๐พ
The other day I retweeted a post with a athlete celebrating his teams victory...the amount of criticism Iโm getting for that post is comical...we live in an era where parents encourage participation trophies and not showing emotion(trash-talking) ๐คฆ๐พโโ๏ธ
Still think you have to be at a D1 to get noticed?!? Put in the work and they will find you ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ Congrats to all the small school guys getting their shot!
My man coach Dut! Hands down one of the most creative football minds Iโve been around, if youโre looking for a coach with a good heart but understands how to get the best out of his players my man Dut is it! Thankful for everything heโs done for me as a coach and player!
Meet Offensive Coordinator, Robert Dutton. He coaches because when his career ended he couldnโt envision a life without football & always enjoyed the details it took to put a game plan together. His favorite moments are watching his players graduate!
#MeetTheGriffins
So many people use the term โIโm himโ well this man really is โHIMโ all around genuine dude and really does it all for guys that want to be the best
@210ths
๐๐พideouts 4 words to live by โmake them chase you.โ NO MATTER WHAT a DB canโt make a play unless heโs next to you...so win at the line of scrimmage and run your route on air!

If you had $86,400 and someone stole $60, would you throw your life away for revenge? Or move on and live? Each of us have 86,400 seconds every day. Donโt allow someone's negative 60 seconds ruin the remaining 86,340 you have.
Since when does a league thatโs 80% African American, asking for equality not special treatment become a political thing? Why is it so hard to understand African Americans are asking to be treated as equals and not less than? NEWSFLASH Itโs 2020 and there is no vaccine for RACISM
Donโt allow one persons opinion on you to cause you to lose faith in your ability. One persons perspective is just that, their perspective not everyones. All it takes is one person to say yes and see you for who you are and what you bring to the table.
Seeing one of my WIDEOUTS get his term grades today and that being a 3.89 is an amazing feeling. True STUDENT athlete as well as an ambassador to the Seton Hill community! Itโs bigger than football and we celebrate ALL wins in life!
The journey is never ending. There's always gonna be growth, improvement, adversity; you just gotta take it all in and do what's right, continue to grow, continue to live in the moment...this group made my job easy and I thank yโall for that
