You are NOT slept on if:

Your GPA starts with a (1)
You haven’t completed the FAFSA
You haven’t applied to any schools
You haven’t attended any camps
You’re only open to D1

The reality is YOU’RE SLEEPING ON YOURSELF

[Allen Richardson @BigAlScouting]

Truth ⬇️⬇️⬇️ focus on getting on the field and getting your grades squared away! 1.9 GPA won’t magically become a 3.0 just cause senior year you figure out you wanna play ball!

[D3Direct @D3Direct]

"When should I start reaching out to coaches?"

We get this question all the time.

Our answer: Unless you're a JR in HS, then you shouldn't even be focused on it yet.

Instead, work on improving your grades & game.

[Allen Richardson @BigAlScouting]

All Conference teams should be about who is the best, not filling a quota of players for teams that finished higher!!!!

[Allen Richardson @BigAlScouting]

I’ll up this, kids under 16.... I can maybe understand if you’ve got college offers in a certain sport wanting to dial it in Junior/ Senior year, but besides that, do everything you want. Coaches should always encourage multi sport kids.

[Nick Buonocore @Nick_Buonocore]

If you’re a coach who’s pushing kids under 13-years-old to specialize in one sport you’re likely only doing it to make yourself money.

Big time playmaker out of North Oldham HS in Kentucky!!!

[Kentucky Prep Sports Review @502SportsReview]

Coaches, here is another player spotlight:

Check out Class of 2023, @NorthOldhamHigh DE/C

He currently is tied for 11th in the state and tied for 3rd in class 4a in sacks.

He is one you will want to keep your eye on this yer and next!!

[Allen Richardson @BigAlScouting]

Speak it into existence!!! Told me before the Game he’d have 3 or 4 sacks otherwise he’d consider it a disappointment!

[Clay Barrett @ClayBarrett8]

Had a great game last night!!! More to come!!! @CSmithScout @Cavs_Football @Coach_Jay53 @CKappas @Coachev4 @Coach_Shak @TTU_CoachA @CoachJLee_ @Coach_Springer1 @theDariusDavis 3 sacks….! 💪

[Allen Richardson @BigAlScouting]

This is the Tweet.

[Nick Buonocore @Nick_Buonocore]

I don’t think the problem is “being seen” … I think the problem is a lot of kids (and their parents) think they’re better than they really are. Many are actually being told (by coaches they pay) that they’re D1 athletes & they’re not even close. The transfer portal doesn’t lie.

[Allen Richardson @BigAlScouting]

Scrimmages starting up tonight!!!! Can’t wait to see whose been putting work in!!!!

[Allen Richardson @BigAlScouting]

Nail meet head!!!

[Tony Caljean @coachkage]

2️⃣2️⃣s
No FBS or FCS offers at this point??😫

Gotta start reaching out to D2-D3-NAIA-JUCO

Start with schools in a 3-5 hour radius, see if they have your major.. and hit up those coaches NOW

[Allen Richardson @BigAlScouting]

Any lineman who is only hitting the weights nonstop in the winter needs to go find their HS wrestling coach. Will do wonders for you.

[TN Prep Sports @NashvillePreps]

Why Stanford commitment Fisher Anderson turned to wrestling to improve his football skills https://t.co/drfSFJNQAI

[Allen Richardson @BigAlScouting]

Worst is when I hear kids go “oh he only went D3”, then I ask how many offers you got? And they go none but I’ve been “contacted” (mass mail) by half a dozen colleges. You’ll see how quickly you’ll wanna go D3 when there’s no offers on your plate in January.

[Nick Buonocore @Nick_Buonocore]

If you’re getting contacted by D3 coaches and rudely telling them you’re ONLY interested in D1 programs don’t be surprised when D1 coaches find out and never show interest. Coaches constantly talk and circles are small. No coach, AT ANY LEVEL, wants an obnoxious ego maniac.

If Trevor Lawrence throws 1+ regular season touchdown pass to Tim Tebow this season, we’ll buy every person who likes and retweets this tweet an NFL jersey of their choice.
(Must be following us to claim)

[Allen Richardson @BigAlScouting]

Not a stronger Pure DE prospect in the state! 6-3 240 benches 345. Absolute force in the run game and shows a great get off here! Oh and he’s also an absolute mauler on offense at OT and TE.

[Clay Barrett @ClayBarrett8]

Had an awesome time at Austin Peay yesterday!!! ⁦@GovsFB⁩ ⁦@CoachJonesTAMUK⁩ ⁦@CKappas⁩ ⁦@_nickhunterr12⁩ ⁦@APSUCoachSW⁩ ⁦@CSmithScout⁩ ⁦@Cavs_Football⁩ I can’t wait to play at the next level!!!

[Allen Richardson @BigAlScouting]

If you’re class of 2024 or lower, stay out of DMs and focus on your grades and making an impact on the field before you even consider being recruited heavily. You might be a 8th/9th grade baller, but Varsity ball is a different level. Get on the field then we can talk.

[Jeff Leach @CoachJeffLeach]

You’re not “uncommitted”, if you’re in middle school.

[Nick Buonocore @Nick_Buonocore]

You don’t “settle” for D3. You go to a D3 because it’s the best fit for you as a student-athlete. Don’t listen to the knuckleheads who say differently, do what’s best for you and run your own race!

[Allen Richardson @BigAlScouting]

Personal opinion: If your travel team or training partners are more prevelent in your twitter Bio and your social media than your High School team, you’re worried about the wrong thing. First/ foremost your goal should be to help your HS win games. Anything beyond that is bonus

[Allen Richardson @BigAlScouting]

Preach!!!

[Tom House 〽️ @tomhouse]

Go where you’ll play. Go where you’ll develop. Go where you can fail.

If you’re optimizing for prestige over playing time, development and fun, you’re putting your long-term potential in jeopardy.

[Allen Richardson @BigAlScouting]

@Bigtanktv Got some OL/ DL to keep your eye on!! @AdamHickerson3 @ClayBarrett8 @Sam56532935

[Allen Richardson @BigAlScouting]

@Kreager And do not get me wrong, absolutely love yalls coverage, you and Cecil have done so much for HS sports coverage, just thinking of the kids and how it was frustrating for me in HS to not be able to read about my team.

[Allen Richardson @BigAlScouting]

I absolutely love having a paywall to read about HS athletics. Really doing a great job to getting kids exposure and putting their names out there
