YOU are the most important person in YOUR life. YOU make decisions that affect YOUR life. YOU have to live with the choices YOU make. So stop blaming others and making excuses. YOU ARE THE CAPTAIN OF YOUR LIFE.

Fathers,
Stay on your kids! Preach the importance of their grades, their behaviors in private & in public, body language, their attitudes, ACCOUNTABILITY, hygiene, RESPECT, etc. They may hate it but I promise ITS WORTH IT when you see them living THEIR dreams!

Capped a good weekend of competition off with a visit at Texas A&M with

commit
@Donovangreen23
! Class act by both parties that allowed his Dickinson teammates to see the facilities!
My son camped at SMU and TCU last weekend in front of 60 scouts including majority of not all of MU staff. His 1st camps ever. He maximized the weekend. Hence the reason that weekend alone he was offered 6 P5 opportunities.
Shoutout to
@Thomas3Noah
! He a TX A&M FB commit & is still doing EVERY SPORT. Varsity FB, Varsity BBall, and Varsity T&F, AND playing 7v7. 4.24 GPA
District champ in the 400m (48.41)
More than one way to get a scholarship! This might rub some people the wrong way, as it should.
Not often a person the same age as you can influence you or have a big impact on you. Thankful as a coach and as a parent that mine is influenced by one of if not the hardest working and most respectful player on his team. Thank you

Pics suns up their friendship!
1) We won tonight 41-34 & are now 6-1 (4-0)
2) One of the best football games I’ve ever coached
3) Coaches always saying they hunting for a dog… It’s one here in SEGUIN, TX foaming at the mouth for a opportunity. ALL HE DOES IS MAKE PLAYS!

I sure have been seeing a bunch of Power 5 football players excelling on the track. And I’m talking bout HIGHLY TOUTED players.
Meanwhile, some of yal playing football 10 out of 12 months and others have never mind. Yal got all the answers 😂🤣
RECRUITs: Your journey is your journey and should never be compared to someone else.
FIVE STAR or NO STAR
ALL STATE or NO STATE
SCHOLARSHIP or WALK-ON
Lots of roads lead to the same destination...

Exposure is a big part of the game now days.
Why aren’t there more licensed photographers / videographers on the sidelines during HS games? These kids want professional grade pics (coaches too) of them at work. Ms Kim Everts blessed us in the wicked.
@PitinoToTheZou
I thought the same thing… I’m a HS coach trying to build relationships with recruiters for my current and future guys. No way im gonna down a kid! I’m just gonna keep pushing for mine. There are 259 D1 football schools in America
ANOTHER 1! Its quiet calm smart Gator lurking in the swamp.

C/O 2024 CB/S. Started 10 games his first time playing safety as sophomore on a 9-3 team! You play the best 11 even if you have to shuffle their positions.

If u going to these camps and not foaming at the mouth to get reps when they start 1 on 1s. You not taking advantage of the moment. Get in as many reps as freaking possible.
The 3 H’s
1) (Go) Hard - Go hard in everything you do.
2) (Be) Humble - Always remember to stay humble in spirit and in action.
3) (Stay) Hungry - never be satisfied, a full dog won’t hunt.
1st practice in college for
@Donovangreen23
also my 1st time missing your 1st practice since u started playing at 5 yrs old. My God continue to give u grace and favor and a injury free season. Keep him 1st and you will never be last 🙏🏾🗣
Dickinson (Tex.) High boasts one of the top secondaries in the state. In addition to touted 2023 CB Vernon Glover Jr., keep an eye on:
2024 CB Rodney Bimage
2024 DB Nicholas Peace
2024 S Diego Sanchez
Congrats to all athletes who have recently earned a scholarship opportunity & those who have committed.
The hardest part of your hs career has just began. You’re no longer the hunter, your the HUNTED! Other kids are looking to make a name for themselves by gutting you!
You know how many times a kid curses a ref out during a 7v7 game? Well I’m a ref at these events and it happens often. I flag em and sit everytime. But the ��coaches” say I’m being sensitive 🤣🤣
Hey
@CoachTGuidry
in 2021
@DickinsonFB
and the state prolly thought we was the craziest two in the world to want to start/rotate/play 3 sophomores on the backend at the 6A D1 level in TX!
Fast forward 2 years all 3 have P5 or G5 offers!

@Dstorm0920
Today is one of the greatest days in college football abs and high school football. Congrats to all the athletes on continuing your athletic and academic futures.
Maybe I should do some talent evaluations. Ain’t no way everyone looking for DAWGS and certain kids are STILL under the radar. I see em year round! In pads and in shorts and shirts.
Good young player,
@SerigneT97
hitting the portal. Buried a little in a talented room. Athletic, twitchy & has some natural pass rush ability. Great kid, good work ethic. Has 4 years. Hit me if you need more info.
You know all i wanted when I played in the league was to receive some gear from my college like the other players did from their schools. Now that

I want yal to understand something... When you handle your business in the classroom and on the field. And NEVER STOP working... What’s yours will come!
Listen and listen closely: Sophomores take your SAT test EARLY!! Stop waiting until the last minute your before your senior season and limiting your opportunities
Football season is about to kick into effect for high school, college, & the pros. Good luck and prosperity to all my coaching friends and counterparts.
My view of the portal: You’re voluntarily giving up your scholarship in return for nothing guaranteed. The goal is a free education and the NFL is a dream. Chase the goal & the dream can be a by product. Either way YOU WIN!
It’s portal day… Don’t make a misinformed decision hoping the grass greener elsewhere.
Have you done everything to improve your current situation: be accountable, be a professional, worked on weaknesses, sat down with your coach to identify what you need to improve, studied?!
My guy! Heard Sticks was LOCKED IN today and put on a show! Congrats and many more to come.
If you aint never been to Seguin, Tx… you missing on out some GEMS. Next great P4 QB down there throwing darts to loaded wr core.
To every child doing the right things, I support you.
To every child making mistake or having a mishaps, I support you as well. And I’m confident you can get past those to create a great life for yourself.
Athletes, academics is like building a house...
9th: foundation year, make As and Bs ONLY
10th: solidifying your foundation, make As and Bs ONLY, take SAT during spring or summer. IF you only made As or Bs you should have a 3.0 or higher GPA and be an auto qualifier.
Grade checks are one of the worst times for coaches. It should be exciting because we SHOULD get to see athletes excelling in the class. Instead it’s a 3 week suspension for some. GRADES ARE IMPORTANT!
The Lions rookie defenders are putting in work against the Bears. Sixth-round pick James Houston chases down Justin Fields to force the fumble and first-round pick Aidan Hutchinson recovers it.
The Jackson State and Michigan pass rushers are balling today.
The Gators competed our tails off last night at Area! Many of our guys movin forward to regionals:
Jerell Simpson 2nd in LJ & TJ
Marquis Johnson 3rd in HJ
Luke Martin 4th in 110H & 2nd in 300H
4x1 3rd (Ellision, Johnson, Simpson, Green)
4x2 3rd (Johnson, Green, Ellison, Simpson)
Had da best issue 5 a coach - 2 many kids 2 place in 3 races each (limited bc Covid). Had 1 move up to varsity. I’d love to take credit but that’s all him! Had 7 kids fighting every week to run the 4x400! We took 2nd in district today!

Thank you for letting me coach yal!
I know FAMU the laughing stock of the SWAC presently. Looking the APR scores prior to this upcoming release…. They aren’t the only ones in trouble: FAMU, BCU, Alabama St, MVSU all need a APR higher than 950 THIS YEAR or otherwise should be penalized
@deionsanders
said something very interesting on the
@TigerTalk1400
podcast.
"Dont just show me a dog on Saturday/Friday. I want to see the dog M-Th. The dog in PRACTICE. How you practice is gonna tell me how you gonna play. So I want to see your practice film." - Coach Prime
Every year around this time parents start crying bout the coach not getting their child to college.
TEAM EFFORT (the coach, the player/student, the parents).
If they all aren’t aligned. The opportunities will be minimal.
