“They” will ALWAYS have something to say.
Go D1…”they” will criticize you for not going high major
Go D2…”they” will criticize you for not going D1
Go NAIA…”they” will criticize you for not going D2
Go D3….”they” will say you weren’t good enough for a scholarship
Don’t listen to what “they” say….”they” don’t have to love your life and are likely jealous of YOUR blessing & opportunity!

Straight from the mouth of a mid-major D1 coach a few minutes ago. I told him I needed to write this stuff down and share with everyone.
We were talking about a few players that I work with and he was telling me about how ridiculous recruiting is getting.
"Everyone's running out of roster spots... so we are all like, 'this guy sucks' [when watching a player] because he's not an absolute dude. And we're all passing on good players because you'll probably be able to find an older or more experienced guy down the road".
"We basically have 3 different recruiting classes each year. High school, JC, and portal. And you don't even know how many roster spots you're actually gonna have".
"We have so few roster spots that we are grading kids on such high scales. Like a high school guy has to be a starter as a freshman or we can't recruit him. And then if he shows up and actually starts as a freshman for us he'll probably leave and get more money from a bigger school. So you can't win. And then we just end up sitting in a holding pattern."
"The value of a single roster spot for us has gone up a ton because the total amount of spots we have has gone down, but the dollar amount per spot has gone up with scholarships increasing. So we are investing more in these guys, and expecting more."
This is the sentiment amongst most D1 coaches at this point and honestly a large population of D2 and D3 programs that are incentivized to be patient and wait for an older guy rather than recruiting young. High tier academic schools operate on a different timeline, and there are certainly some other exceptions. But this is the new reality for most programs.
Players and families... do not assume that you are the exception and that this doesn't apply to you!

250 years ago, a bold idea changed the course of history. Today we celebrate the people, principles, and enduring promise of the United States of America.
Happy 4th of July from the White House. 🇺🇸
Happy July 4th, America!
No meal is more American than a burger and fries. And we are doing it with 100% grass-fed, grass-finished beef and 100% beef tallow fries. Celebrate with 2 Liberty Meals for only $17.76, all month long.
America is so back! 🇺🇸
O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave? 🇺🇸
$17.76 for two Liberty Meals — all July long!
A Liberty Meal includes a double grass-fed Steakburger, beef tallow fries, and a Patriot milkshake.
Can't touch this, Mr. Five Guys...

Good luck this weekend👊🏼
