Current high school recruits... be careful transferring to another school because players are saying the workouts, practice, and school is "easier" there than where you currently are. Use high school to prepare you for the next level...it will be WAY harder once you get there.

- Watching the high school football playoffs tonight made me really appreciate Jack Wood, Tony Pugh, Gerald Gann, Bob Newton, David Powell...the guys who did it right in this state and were highly successful... it's MUCH harder, but it can be done.
- When a coach from another school leads off a conversation with a mom of a kid in your zone: "You have to promise me you won't let V know what we are discussing bc I already know what he will do"=RED FLAG. At least he's right! *Asteriks* need to be added by every win they've had.

- Crazy thing to hear from a high school COACH, not from a kid... "Well, we just gotta go find us a (insert position of need) and we will have a chance." Man, the days of looking inside your own locker room and feeder schools must be long gone...
