A player just texted me back that she was no longer interested b/c she had committed to a different school. Unprompted, she sent me her team's schedule for the weekend b/c she said she has great teammates that are still looking for a home.
Be a great teammate, always!💎

When you bring a recruit to campus to watch practice and they are clapping and cheering along the sidelines, you know you're not only recruiting the right person, you hit the recruiting lottery.
Hope this baller left practice as inspired about the future as I am 💙

Sept. 1st used to be a big day in the recruiting process, but now being @ DIII, I can call kids at any point in their process! Rules might be different across divisions, but we're all still looking for the same thing. Talent, work ethic, leadership & personality! Have fun 22s :)

Spoke to a recruit last night about what she wants to study- her response: "if there's 1 thing I'm certain about... it's that I'm completely uncertain."
Lot of respect for those that know their calling early on, but equal respect for those that are OPEN & EXCITED by the UNKNOWN!

To some extent, there’s always been pressure to perform in sports. But something‘s changed. We’re losing student-athletes at an alarming rate. What are we doing in response?

People often say "lost for words"... I do too. But for this I HAVE words! I'm appalled & disgusted by what's happening in DC. I'm sad and heavy hearted for our black community who is pained by the blatant hypocrisy in our country. This isn't a protest, it's domestic terrorism.

As coaches, we talk to our players about winning in all that you do… this young man wins BIG in class, character & respect!
After his coaches tore chairs up and kicked trash cans over, University of Houston’s Jamal Shead stopped and picked up the trash after an emotional loss to Alabama Saturday night in Tuscaloosa.
I’m a huge fan of this young man!
