Talked this week with a recruiting staffer who mentioned there had been two prospects his program liked, but couldn’t offer because of grades.
I keep telling student-athletes: “Control what you can control” and “make the most of your opportunities.”
Not just attacking your workouts, going to a lot of camps, etc. — but taking care of your academics to ensure you’re not leaving doors closed to potential opportunities.
We can complain all we want about how the transfer portal has affected high school recruiting. People talk about it like the boogeyman.
But some of the same things that have always mattered still do — and now more than ever as spots tighten up.
You know college opportunities are tougher than ever to earn out of high school. Don’t cost yourself what could be your best or only option by not doing your part — not just on the field, but all-around.

Happy NBA Draft Day to all who celebrate!

Alexandria WR Alex Fontenot has committed to Maryland.
The Terrapins pulling off a flip of one of Louisiana’s top 2027 WR prospects from his previous Pitt commitment.
Fontenot had a solid sophomore campaign in a senior-heavy corps, then exploding for a 1,000yd junior season this fall as the Trojans’ top target.
Checks major boxes with his size, speed, explosive release and great hands.
