Mr. Transfer Portal has truly put a beating on HS recruiting for 70% of graduating seniors. Parents and athletes better be willing to take a PWO or possibly go the JUCO route!

Message to HS 🏈 Coaches,
In the recruiting process, u have 2 market all ur kids & not just FBS type players. It’s always somewhere that kids can play @ the next level if u market them the right way! Never just focus on the few because if they are dudes then they don’t need u!
I just had a P5 Coach tell me that they don’t believe in Early Morning Mat Drills because: 1. No games are played at 5:30 or 6:00am 2. It’s set kids & sometimes staff up for failure in regards to not being at their best early in the morning. Thoughts?
HS Parents & Prospects,
I encourage you 2 do your research on JUCO Football programs because they are about 2 become relevant again with the Transfer Portal! A few things to look at: Are they a scholarship or non-scholarship program, do they have dorms, and more!

College Coaches,
Please remember that twitter works both ways. If HS coaches follow you then you should follow them back. It’s called RESPECT regardless of what level you coach at!
Hs Coaches,
Please post pics of all college coaches who come visit your campus. You can’t just post pics of the P5/G5 HFC, or Asst because they came 4 the kids & not you. Please show ❤️ 2 all levels because u will have more D2 & lower level kids than FBS.

HS Coaches,
I know that it’s tons of D1 schools coming around 2 recruit ur 25 & 26 prospects. Your pics look good on social media as well, but are U still working on actively marketing & promoting your Class of 2024 prospects! They worked hard 4 U over 4yrs so return the favor!
At the end of the day, some kids are just good high school football players! It’s no need to get mad if a college scholarship never comes because the goal is to get a college education.
The more I notice about the new age HS coaching business, it’s 2 many guys that just want a title without putting the work in. Titles will not get u a HFC job. Someone has 2 bet on u & sign off on you. The business is like any other, it’s not what u know but who knows u!
Salute 2 all the GA HS Coaches who are giving their teams off on Monday, June 19, 2023 - Juneteenth Holiday because YOU do the same 4 Fourth of July! Do u truly care about ur players or just the game? Teach ur players life lesson by celebrating all independences!
@MCAOFGA
So many coaches, want to skip the line in the process of becoming a coordinator or head coach! You just don’t walk in and sit at the table unless you are entitled!
It’s vital that HS 🏈 players start back running track! You must gain every EDGE in the today’s college recruiting process so don’t slip on running track!

The final remaining roster spots are critical: 2-QB’s, 2-RB’s, 3-WR’s, 3-OT’s, 3-OG’s, 1-C, 1-CB, 2-S, 1-K/P, & 2-LS! We want Alpha Males with HIGH character ONLY! I’ve watched tons of average film 4 the last 3 months so please don’t tag unless you are a 🐶

Whew, the Head College 🏈 Coaches are getting over 10 million buyouts for being fired! When I got fired in 2008 as the head 🏈 coach of Kendick HS, I only got 12 piece wing combo from American Deli!
HS Prospects,
I encourage you take the offer if you get one because the transfer portal has changed the HS college football recruiting process FOREVER!
Yesterday, I had an irritate parent call me every name under the 🌞 except my name because I ask her to move her 🚗 to the parking lot🤦🏾♂️. I’m sure glad that I’ve grown so much because I just smiled and laughed. The moral to the story is that you can WIN the WAR with a 😊!
Currently working on HS Head Football Coaches Academy to help coaches prepare for the the total process of obtaining the opportunity to sit in the BIG 🪑!
My favorite DM’s are from young coaches who called me Mr. Tinker & say I see u are principal & run events but you NEVER coached🏈before🤦🏾♂️! I say politely sir, I’ve forgotten more ball than you know & I have the rings to prove it! I just choose 2 finish my career as a DAD & FAN!
Job Alert:
Full time position on defense, it pays 32,000.00 and benefits and possible free housing. 2 GA positions 1 on offense and 1 on defense - D2 School
In my career, I’ve spent tons of my FREE time on helping others improve their craft while gaining promotions in their careers. The one thing that you can never get back is time so be prepared to barter & trade for my time & expertise!

Recruits,
If you think that u are getting overlooked in the 🏈recruiting process then just be patient. I encourage u not to envy others process because everyone’s process is different! Your time will come so be ready to SEIZE the opportunity of a Lifetime!

Coaches, Trainers & Recruiting Gurus,
Please market your kids who DO NOT have the D1 measureables just like YOU market the kids who DO! Optics can really tell a story in the real 🌎! Just some FREE advice!
I’ve made it a point 2 work the college recruiting process 4 my son with my team of trusted guys. I will not leave it up 2 any others outside of my trusted circle. I’ve seen 2 many parents have heartaches at the end of the day because they trusted the wrong people!
#TeamTinker
I don’t know if I ever seen this many teaching &🏈coaching positions open in GA HS🏈this late in July. The thing is that it’s tons of PE openings. It makes me wonder is there truly a shortage of teachers & coaches or does the certification requirements needed 2 be adjusted. 🤔
🚨 Professional Development Alert 🚨
I need a ball coach that wants to talk to my teaching staff about the importance of building relationships with students. “Why Relationships are Important in this Game Called Education!”
My morning message:
College coaches please don’t call or text me, just when u want something! You may not like my response because I’m one of the real ones still left in the 🌍! When I call u then it’s always I’m in a staff meeting! Please remember I have a job as well
I say this all the time. Colleges ask us to follow their coaching staff but the coaches don’t follow back! It’s a 2 way street! The State of GA will not be a friendly state if you don’t follow GA Coaches back!
Most people forget that we evaluated tons of kids 4 this game! We get a great mix of elite kids with all the ⭐️ & then we go find the 💎 in the rough who have something to prove! It creates a great atmosphere 4 all but please remember WE DON’T PLAY POLITICS IF U KNOW ME!
Parents,
I make it point 2 go on vacation with my son when it’s vacation time! Parents stop chasing these scholarship opportunities that don’t exist on your kids break! U get 1 shot 2 make a difference with them so why not make some lifetime memories with them!

If you really watch what most colleges coaches are saying on Twitter….. it’s Transfer and JUCO kids drop your film link here! HS Recruiting is in major trouble! Just keeping it 💯!
I’m a firm believer that if coaches are not at the

networking & marketing their players for scholarships/PWO opportunities in this new transfer portal era then you have completely fumbled the 🏈!

Reminder To Parents:
NEVER over kill training, 7-on-7, travel ball, & more with ur child bcuz u are so determined 2 get a scholarship or make it pro through ur child. The business is still about relationships unless u have a freakish kid who can pass the eye test on 1st sight!
Thank you to all my friends who have checked on me this week. I’m on the back stretch of COVID. I’m coming back stronger than ever next week! The REBIRTH has begun!
The one thing that football camp season has shown me is that every player & parents thinks that they are a WR or DB regardless of body types, 🦶 speed & more! 🤦🏾♂️🤔
History was made! Two African American head coaches head to head in this series -Valdosta and WR. Proud moment!

HS Coaches,
It’s so important to be fully certified to teach in your state if you want to maximize your financial situation in hs coaching unless you are a community coach who owns your own profitable business or has a job that pays well which makes coaches a passion.
Coach Shelton Felton was named the head coach of the Valdosta Wildcats after a unanimous vote of the Valdosta Board of Education on Tuesday, October 26, 2021. More details will be shared on Wednesday, October 27. Congratulations Coach Felton!
Thank you to
