🚨 Parents of High School Football Recruits
One of the biggest mistakes I see in recruiting is when parents try to take over the process instead of supporting it
College coaches are evaluating much more than film, statistics, and athletic ability. They are evaluating how a prospect communicates, handles adversity, interacts with others, and whether the family will be a positive fit within the program
Over the years, I have seen talented players miss opportunities because of poor communication, unrealistic expectations, social media issues, constant parental involvement, or simply a lack of understanding of how recruiting actually works
Some of the biggest mistakes parents make:
🔹 Speaking for their son during the recruiting process
🔹 Contacting coaches excessively
🔹 Treating camp invites as scholarship offers
🔹 Inflating height, weight, or testing numbers
🔹 Comparing their son to other recruits
🔹 Focusing too much on rankings and social media attention
🔹 Ignoring academic requirements
🔹 Chasing every camp without a recruiting plan
🔹 Becoming overly focused on NIL or one specific level of football
🔹 Creating unnecessary drama with coaches, programs, or teammates
A camp invite is not an offer. Rankings do not determine a player’s future. More camps do not automatically lead to more opportunities. And playing at the highest level possible is not always the same as finding the right fit
The best recruiting families:
✅ Allow their son to take ownership of the process
✅ Communicate professionally and respectfully
✅ Focus on academics as much as football
✅ Stay realistic about recruiting opportunities
✅ Trust the evaluation process
✅ Keep the focus on long term development and fit
Parents should focus on helping their son become the best student, athlete, and young man possible. Be supportive, be realistic, trust the process, and allow your son to take ownership of his recruitment
The families that navigate recruiting the best are usually the ones who stay humble, stay professional, and understand that recruiting is about finding the right fit, not winning a popularity contest
🏈 At the end of the day, the goal is not to win recruiting.
It is to help your son find the right school, earn a degree, continue playing football, and create opportunities that will benefit him long after his playing days are over

Over next two days, 1,184 NFL players will be fired from their jobs. Some will return to practice squads, but many will have no choice but to move on.
There is no busier transactional time in the NFL than this weekend. For many it is a brutal weekend they won’t forget.

"I predict a lot of high schools in Louisiana will have this. @WM_Rebs show off a new sports medicine facility and covered practice field. A one percent sales tax on the parish's west side for the past 25 years paid for the two projects that cost close to 11 million dollars.

62% of D2 football players that entered the transfer portal have retired.
79% of D3 athletes. 🤯
The grass isn’t always greener on the other side.
