Coach LM Johnson's (ΩѰΦ) mission is to create that 'bridge' for young people who want to take their 🏈 athletic abilities to the Collegiate level. Let's Go!
Tomorrow the Division 1 Contact Period opens.
For the next 5 weeks, college coaches can visit your high school, watch you practice/workout, and talk to anyone at your school about you.
This is the most active evaluation window of the spring.
If you have been putting in the work, this is where it shows.
If your GPA is between a 2.2 & 2.8 it's gonna be hard to find a home. No matter how good the film is. Your core GPA is super important. Grades matter
We are going to see soon that 1000s of players made mistakes. Coach nails it. Stop worrying about a check. Start enjoying life. Most of those in the portal just made their college experience more expensive and many just ended theirs.
GPA is recruiting leverage:
3.5+ = options.
3.0 = some doors open.
2.0 = praying somebody takes a chance.
Same talent, different transcripts = completely different recruitments.
Books matter. #recruiting101
🗣️ Question: Why do some d1 coaches follow recruits and like their posts but not respond to DMs? Should I still keep messaging with updated film and stats?
🗣️ Answer: Coaches follow or like posts to track recruits — it means you’re on their radar, not necessarily that they’re ready to talk. They get flooded with DMs and sometimes can’t respond due to NCAA rules or timing. I say yes, keep sending short updates with new film, stats, and GPA every few weeks. Be politely aggressive — consistency gets noticed.
I get 500+ a day!
If you're considering the JUCO route, understand:
• You'll have to prove yourself all over again
• Two years goes faster than you think
• Not every JUCO is the right fit
But... You always Bet on yourself!!
It's a real path to D1-D2!
I've seen it work dozens of times. #GrindSeason #GrindMode #Beleive
After much thought and consideration with my family, I have decided to decommit from the University of Delaware and reopen my recruitment. I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity given to me and would like to think Coach Carty and Coach Goldrich along with the rest of the staff for everything. With my trust in God I’m looking forward to what is next!
If I'm a prospect I'm sending my film to the following staff members.
1. Graduate Assistants
2. Coach that recruits my area.
3. Position Coach
4. Recruiting Coordinator
5. General Manger
6. Director of Player Personnel
