@FAFSA You’ve fumbled every aspect of this season… scholar athletes DO need to rush to get it filled out to see how colleges can offer athletic scholarships matched to need-based aid… Info these families SHOULD’VE had since October! You’ve failed alot of families… get it right….

Devastated over the loss of Devin Willock. We had Devin at NM before he transferred to PC. I’ll never forget his excitement when I told him he’d gotten his first scholarship offer from Howard… Prayers for his family, friends and @GeorgiaFootball… Rest In Peace, Big Dev… 🙏🏻❤️

It’s not a Dead Period for everyone! Check your recruiting calendars! D2’s basically can come recruit you straight through the FBS/FCS dead period. D3’s pretty much whenever they want. Recruits, continue to be ready, there are amazing opportunities (and $$$!) in D2 & D3 football!

Ridiculous that Muhlenberg gets left out of D3 playoffs in favor of Coe. @DigInMules 1 loss by 6 pts. to #7 JHU on the last play of the game. #Muhlenberg is 32nd in SOS. Coe is 104th, and barely beat 5-5 Dubuque. Centennial continues to get no respect. A joke… #d3fb @d3football.

NEVER get down or beat yourself up over any ONE single camp evaluation! Amazing how differently staffs can evaluate the same prospect! They’re all looking for something different. If that ONE camp eval DOES bother you, put in the work to make the improvements they’re looking for!.

AREA RECRUITS: Snow day today?.Perfect opportunity to invest some time filling out recruiting questionnaires! The best way to start your recruitment is to already be in the school’s database. D1 to D3, start with the schools at your realistic potential level & in driveable area.

A legend. A beloved Coach. Also my cousin who’s been the big brother I never had. Billy, we had a great 16 year ride. What we did together at New Milford set the standard for how a small public school program should be run. Win & lose with class, and help the kids find a path.
For the first time in nearly two decades, New Milford will be looking for a new football coach:

When asking a college coach about level of interest in an athlete, I can’t tell you how many times that coach has said to me “Well coach, he hasn’t even filled out our online recruiting form. What’s HIS level of interest in US?”. Take an active role in your recruitment!.2/2.

BEST chance to get recruited?. 1. Your “@“ name as close to your real name as possible, and your profile name EXACT. 2. HS, YR, POS, HT/WT, GPA, SAT/ACT, a good profile pic, and a link to your highlights in your profile. 3. Allow DM’s from EVERYONE so D3 coaches can contact you.
