Pat's DB Kyle Dugger speaking to our guys today. A D2 player who was drafted in the 2nd round. If you are good enough, the NFL will find you at ANY level. A NFL scout told me personally "If a guy has numbers at ANY level, he will get attention."

Offensive Line is a position where guys who go through the motions and donโt have a drive to perfect their craft get exposed nearly every play. You have to be SELFLESS to be a GREAT offensive lineman.

Making the bus as a freshman is SPECIAL, getting playing time as a freshman is RARE and SPECIAL. I don't know when society lost that notion.

Recruiting in 2019 is crazy. When my future children are choosing a college, it will not be based on uniform combos or facilities or the division. I beg the young men and women of this country to pick a place based on an academic, athletic, social and financial fit. #RealTalk.

What's the point of going to an FBS/FCS school junior day and trying on their jersey if they just ignore you or your recruiting coach doesn't even know your name? Chase your dreams but also have a realistic wheel house school and a safety school.

D3 schools can give better aid than Non scholarship FCS depending on your academic and FAFSA profile. Please chill with the well it's still FCS thing. St. Thomas won the league with a majority of division 3 kids in its 2nd year. Go where you are wanted.

Recruits, be careful who you use as advisors in your life. Do not trust your future to someone on twitter that you have never met. Trust your parents, aunts, uncles, and your HIGH SCHOOL coach. People who ONLY give advice off of personal experience are often biased and uneducated.

Somewhere in the last 15 years it went from being an awesome accomplishment to play college athletics at any level to now this D1 or bust๐๐ฉ . There are guys at every level that will play professional and there are guys at every level that will never play a snap. Find your FIT.

To all the OLINEMEN out there training, make sure you are working drills that are teaching you proper fundamentals. Many videos of young men performing drills with little to no value or developing crippling techniques. Work on your core and body if you are unsure.

Had a recruit tell me RPI was not the perfect fit for him. I was not mad at all, I actually applauded him on having the integrity and guts to tell me. Too many kids are afraid to tell a coach no thanks and just go along wasting both peopleโs time. #RealTalk.

Itโs easy to call out the underclassmen. But a true leader isnโt afraid to call out his best friends, his classmates, or even the older guys. Itโs not an easy thing to do. But organizations with that kind of culture often have leaders in each class, and succeed. #PurpleFam.

Recruits be weary of these "All American Games" that are charging you 1,000's of bucks. It will not help your recruitment. Save your money for a gym membership or coaching lessons.
