- D2 still needs elite athletes D3 still needs elite athletes JUCO still needs elite athletes Is playing college football the dream? Or is playing D1 the dream? Get playing time, get an education, continue to develop.
- “Should I post that I got a D3 offer or will that turn away D1 schools?” YES YOU SHOULD POST IT!!! Any offer, from any division is a huge accomplishment. There are thousands that will not receive an offer to play at the next level. Post that offer and be proud.
- Normalize posting D2 and D3 offers!
- Recruits: Monday Jan 6th starts the CONTACT PERIOD. Coaches can visit you at school. College coaches can communicate with athletes without restrictions. During this time, coaches can: Email, Text, Call, Direct message, and Make in-person communication. Get busy.
- Recruits: Coaches are starting to get prepared for the contact period D1 FBS & FCS - December 1st through February 1st, 2020 DII - December 2nd through March 9th, 2020 Get your film out to them and speak with your high school coaches about setting something up.
- Sorry but canceling sports, let alone Football, isn’t just canceling a season. It’s canceling a Purpose, an Opportunity, a Chance to get out of toxic environments, a Structure, a Routine, and Jobs! We need waivers for boards/athletes & opt outs for any at risk. Let em play.
- Any offer you receive whether its D1, D2, D3, is incredible. Think about it: *74,000 College FB players in all divisions. *Over 1 million HS FB players in the US. *1 of 74,000 to be offered a chance to play at the next level is insane! All of you should be highlighted.
- Interested in D1 Ivy Football? Show Cornell Football who you are. Comment your film.
- Recruits: Spoke with a few Division 2 programs today who still have plenty of spots available. If you’re not above giving D2 a shot, share your film here. At this point D2 and D3 are going to be legit options because D1 will likely be walk-on and a lot of $.
- Plenty of Division II and Division III college football programs are in the process of evaluating and offering prospects. Don’t give up. Many in these divisions don’t have the resources to find you. You can contact these coaches right now.
- There are 834 ncaa football teams FBS 129 / scholarships 85 FCS 125 / scholarships 63 (partial) D2 169 / scholarships 36 (partial) D3 250 / academic NAIA 96 / scholarships 24 JUCO 65 / scholarships 85 70,000 NCAAF players Over 1 mil HS FB players Chance to make it: 7%
- 🚨DI FCS James Madison will have a lot of graduating Seniors: *Qualifying D1 Prospect *2.8+ GPA *950+ SAT Have info sent to them: 1. Drop film, ht, wt, gpa in comments 2. RT/Follow/Tag teammate 3. Fill out form in bio (we will share this with colleges)
