I need ALL WR’s to take note on Cyrus Allen looking the ball all the way in.
Focusing on the details during this period by looking at the ball as it hits his hands creating great habits to limit a chance at a drop. In training, routes on air, Indy etc. practice the mechanics.
Need ALL WR’s to take note on how Parker Washington had EMPHASIS on looking the ball in.
These small details can help with concentration drops and increase chances of securing the catch.

“Who they are in high school is who they will be in college.”
This goes for who you are both on and off the field. It is one of the main reasons a lot of you are not being recruited the way you think you should be..
As an AD, you quickly learn that people want to win. However, many do not like what the landscape of winning looks like. The reality is that athletics are constantly evolving. Expectations change, competition changes, and the level of commitment needed to be successful changes.
When the landscape of your league changes, you must be willing to adapt if you want to remain competitive. Programs that refuse to evolve often get left behind while others continue to grow.
Adaptation does not mean changing your core values or standards. It means finding better ways to develop athletes, support coaches, build culture, and meet the demands of today’s competitive environment.
Growth requires honesty, flexibility, and the willingness to improve instead of simply wishing things were the way they used to be. In athletics, standing still is rarely standing still. Most of the time, it means falling behind.
