Dan Lanning played at William Jewell (NAIA). Then started his coaching career at Park Hill South HS in North Kansas City. Heโs now the HC for the Oregon Ducks.
Moral of the story.
Doesnโt matter where you start, PASSION & GRIT can take you anywhere.
Muhammad Ali once said he didnโt start counting reps until there was pain, bc those are the only reps that count.
Think about that when youโre tired, hurt, & your back is against the wall this fall. These are the reps that really โcount.โ

@SXMCollege
what he has gone up against in the 48 hours leading up to National Signing Day with schools offering NIL packages to commits.
Someone explain this to me....
So parents are scared enough of TikTok to not send their kids to school today BUT not scared enough to take it off their kids phones???
Seen a lot of misinformed people throwing shots at the Eastside & super teams.
Bixby didnโt recruit a super teamโฆ that was built with ELITE coaching, ELITE culture, ELITE strength program AND some Elite talent of which 95% grew up in the BIX
Donโt get it twisted
Little over a year ago I was ran out of the company I built from the ground up bc I wouldnโt compromise my morals for $.
1 year later, Iโve never been better mentally, businesses are thriving & growing & for the first time in 4.5 years, Iโm happy.

Rich guy has kids coming through.

Attach NiL deals to multiple kids.
Super teams form for 2-3 years.
Itโs about to get wild out here
I think thatโs what Iโve fallen in love w/ most in Oklahoma, is the โchip on the shoulderโ mentality.
Kids from Oklahoma r tired of being overlooked 4 kids from major cities. Per capita I would put these kids up against anyone.

Say what you want about me & 7v7 but Iโve witnessed the power it holds when done correctly.
So keep talking.... Iโll keep investing in the youth of Oklahoma & being a little part in changing lives.

Donโt be so focused on comparing your child to another (athletically, academically, offers, etc.) that you miss out on your OWN childโs journey. Every path is different.
Comparison is the thief of joy. ENJOY the process. You only get to do it ONCE.
When he was in 8th grade, I told everyone to remember his name, today

Good work today with 8th grader Gentry Williams. 13 years old, cannon for an arm and heโs fast..... like 21.1 in the Open 200 fast. Like fastest time in the U.S. fast. Remember the name.

If you are above the age of 25 and get mad at a 17-18 year old, that is not your child, that youโve never met, over where they choose to go to college.
You have a problem.
Evers skill set seems to fit what OU wants to do the best. Thatโs from an outsider & simply watching Hudl. He seems like the best fit w no Gabriel. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ

HC Brent Venables says freshman QB Nick Evers is one of the QBs getting reps this week, has improved greatly in last month.
Mentioned โfuture freaksโ sessions Thursdays with young guys scrimmaging & Evers handling things well.
I lost a dear friend yesterday.
He empowered me & brought me back from a very dark place & for that I will be forever grateful.
No quote today. Just tell your people you love them, cherish the present & uplift others.
Adults: How dare a kid do whatโs best for his future & announce it!
Also adults: Blessed to take a job at (insert school name) a better opportunity for my career & family. I will always cherish my time at blah blah blah

During year 36 I learned a lesson I feel is worth passing on.
Loyalty isnโt a time thing, itโs a person thing. Meaning you can know some1 since you were 16&it could take 20 years for them to burn you. You could also meet some1 a month ago&their loyalty remains 4 good.๐ก
Blessed to have these men by my side & so are many

Itโs been almost 11 years since I took a college snap.
1 of my college coaches called me tonight to check in & let me know he had been lifting me up in prayer.
When choosing a college make sure you find a place that wants you to WIN IN LIFE as bad as they do on the FIELD.
Regardless of outcomes, so blessed for my son to grow up watching & emulating GREAT kids! Always hard watching Sooner7 kids square off, but blessed for their impact on Kase.

The private QB training space is extremely over saturated. A lot of these โtrainersโ are bums & from what I can see/hear are actually counter productive in development. Dude has a kid who can play, some cones and watched YouTube and he thinks heโs Dilfer. Gtfoh

. Amazing family & people. Anything will help during this time to bridge the gap. It was sudden & they are all ok which is whatโs most important!
Seniors
As you start going back, live in the moment. The class before you thought they were โjust leaving for Spring Breakโ & never got to walk the halls again. Be where your feet are, live in the now & donโt take today for granted.
Promise you this, 1,000% of the time Iโd rather hold a kid accountable now and lose a game or two, then let him slide now & him face real world jail time down the road. Mind blowing to see coaches turn their head on this stuff.
I know herโผ๏ธ Itโs nice to see her recognized for all she does! Amazing teacher & coach and an unreal Mom to our 2 boys! Congrats

for being the Teacher of the Week. ๐ค
Today Kase took $4 of his saved up money to Wal-Mart (probably to get some Pokemon ๐)
He ended up not getting anything & when we were leaving walked over, on his own, to the Salvation Army bucket & put money in. Not $1, but all of it.
Proud parenting moment.
@lrasmussen20
39 today.
29 seemed like yesterday & 19 seemed like a week ago.
Set boundaries. Invest in those that invest in you & protect your energy.
Live in the todayโs, it goes fast. โณ
20 years ago today I signed my NLI.
Hereโs a few things Iโve learned since.
1) Be prepared
2) Show up. Early.
3) Finish it today
4) Donโt be too cool for your parents
5) Be where your feet are
6) Itโs ok to not be ok
7) Work hard.
8) Enjoy, It goes by fast.
Apparently Derick with his newly created account tried to post a โgot yaโ moment. Instead showed the kick as well as the head slam AFTER the play and then showed the officials selective flag & ejection.
PITIFUL!
This is not right. Period.
Here's a quick look at what Oklahoma is getting in Missouri WR transfer JJ Hester.
Last season, Hester recorded 12 receptions for 225 yards and two touchdowns as a redshirt freshman.
