A coach that was recruiting you last week may not be recruiting you for the same school next week. "Choose a program not a coach." Ap2w

[Derek Jones @CoachdjCheetah]

Bad habits generally produce bad results. #Ap2w

[Derek Jones @CoachdjCheetah]

Never burn bridges you may one day have to come back across. When dealing with people always handle things the right way. #Ap2w

[Mike Wilson @ByMikeWilson]

Early enrollees Messiah deWeaver, Joe Bachie, Thiyo Lukusa, Kenney Lyke and Bradley Robinson were courtside earlier.

[Derek Jones @CoachdjCheetah]

If you're an aspiring college prospect don't wait until you get offers to make getting qualified a priority. It should always be one. #Ap2w

[Derek Jones @CoachdjCheetah]

College coaches don't owe you a 2nd chance when it comes to making a 1st impression so treat every encounter like its a job interview. #Ap2w

[Derek Jones @CoachdjCheetah]

When you're a high profile athlete there's always somebody around you who's waiting for you to make a mistake so they can exploit you. #Ap2w

[Derek Jones @CoachdjCheetah]

People may attempt to look down on you but don't give them a choice but to respect or look up to you. Respect is earned not given. #Ap2w

[Derek Jones @CoachdjCheetah]

You don't need a title to be a leader. Being responsible, displaying good character & doing the right thing, is leadership by example. #Ap2w

[Derek Jones @CoachdjCheetah]

Recruiting is flattering now but once signing day is over the attention immediately goes to the next signing class and yours stops. #Ap2w

[Mr. Holder @misterholder]

@B_rob10 getting a little love. https://t.co/cA9TQem41q

[Derek Jones @CoachdjCheetah]

The more popular or successful you become the more critical others will become of you. It simply comes with the territory. #Ap2w

[Derek Jones @CoachdjCheetah]

Let people know who you are without a helmet & jersey on. People will one day hire you bc of who you are not how well you could play. #Ap2w

[Derek Jones @CoachdjCheetah]

Don't ever throw your hands up during a game as if something is not your fault when things go bad. Line up and play the next play. #Ap2w

[Derek Jones @CoachdjCheetah]

Take advantage of life's opportunities while you have them. You don't ever want to be left saying "What if." or "Why didn't I." #Ap2w

[Derek Jones @CoachdjCheetah]

Don't do things when you're an athlete that will hinder people from considering you as an employee. Character will outlast athletic ability.

[Derek Jones @CoachdjCheetah]

Humble individuals look at their failures as learning experiences while those with egos generally make excuses or point fingers. #Ap2w

[Derek Jones @CoachdjCheetah]

There's no room on a team for a bunch of egos. Talented individuals with multiple agendas will always struggle to develop chemistry. #Ap2w
