Why does a good HS GPA matter?
1. Eligibility to play at the next level.
2. Besides FBS Football every other level can use your academics to package you.
3. You can earn state grants and scholarships.
4. Provides evidence that you can succeed in college.
5. Much more!
#FreeGame
Everyone who sees this please do me a favor and re-tweet. It is my hope that hearing this one more time will help HS underclassmen to understand that it's never too early to set themselves up for success.
It breaks my heart when I have a hard conversation with a HS senior 1/5
Public Service Announcement:
2022 and beyond prospects per NCAA rule coaches are not allowed to speak to you yet. This summer business will pick up for you!
Focus on your school work, developing as an athlete, and being an awesome person! The rest will take care of itself.

It doesn't matter how much you tweet about wanting to go to schools, being slept on, just needing one chance, being blessed to receive an offer, and everything else PSAs tweet about.
If you don't take care of your academics you're gonna be stuck on the sidelines.

What does it take to be an NCAA Division 2 eligible athlete? The answer depends on your core gpa and if you satisfy the proper amount of core courses. Then you must possess a qualifying test score based on the sliding scale I am attaching below.

#GoTigers
Prospective Student-Athletes there are a lot of potential destinations for you to consider as a college home. However, if you want to go to a college/program that celebrates you as more than an athlete choose an HBCU! I promise that you will not regret your decision.
I returned to
@seuniversity
since I accepted a position there. I want to thank
@erskinecollege
@FleetFB
and
@shapboyd
for allowing me to help lay the foundation of a special program. I will always be grateful for my time at Erskine. God bless and Go Fleet!
Keep in mind last year some D1 programs "offered" 400 kids while signing 25. Some D2s "offered" every kid in the state and most D3s took any kid they could.
I don't plan to offer anyone until I know we can admit them and our staff meets about them.

🚨Public Service Announcement🚨
If you didn’t sign today (12/15/21) it is not the end of the world.
High School seniors could only sign with D1 schools today. They can’t sign with D2 schools until February.
Signing Day is simply the first day you can sign.
#TrustTheProcess
I respect any kid who has enough CHEST to contact a coach and inform him that he has made a tough decision to go in another direction. It seems like more and more people struggle with having hard conversations. So a lot of people just cower away and disappear.
Let me be clear.
Public Service Announcement:
Signing Day is the first day of the signing period. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SIGN TOMORROW!!! You don't have to wait til April either you can sign any day in between.
Make Good decisions and be blessed. If you ever need guidance hit me up.

Dear Student-Athletes:
Be careful who you pay to "train/coach" you. Anybody can make you sweat, but if the work isn't purposeful you're wasting your time.
Just because someone will take your money doesn't mean they deserve it.

#Fl19htSea20n
It's been a busy few days, but we've been solidifying our first class and couldn't be more pumped about it. The reception we've gotten around the state is phenomenal. Also being able to grab some ball players from out of state has been huge!
#TheTakeover
"Go where you are celebrated, not tolerated. If they can’t see the real value of you, it’s time for a new start."

The NCAA Transfer Portal is full of guys who were told all kinds of good stuff during the recruiting process and then got to campus only for their chosen school to "flip the script" on them. Less $, Bigger roster, no connection or support.
Be sure to do your research.
#FreeGame
Pictures like this are the reason I coach. I recruited most of these young men and I coached them all. I love these guys. Whether they rushed for 6,000 yards or hardly played a snap they are my guys and I will always clap when they win.
This picture made my morning!
Public Service Announcement:
If you're a HS sophomore NCAA FB coaches are not allowed to reply to your DM's etc. Going into your Junior year during the summer business will pick up for you!
I'm not ignoring you or big timing you. Keep grinding an do your school work!
#FreeGame
If every "Coach" tells every "recruit" that if they come in and compete they will be on full how does the math work? There are only 36 scholarships and some of y'all have 200+ guys on your team. I'm not great at math, but that's not adding up to me. Put it in writing!
#FreeGame
I respect coaches who help their kids grow holistically and work to get their guys college looks because I know the time it takes. However, I hate it when a coach works his tail off for a guy, but the prospect doesn't do his part.
Thanks Coaches!
