🧵 (0-19) A thread of quotes to honor Coach Lou Holtz and his time at South Carolina. Some funny, some serious… but mostly funny! 🧵

Urban Meyer says the quiet part out loud. Be the best player on your high school team first. Development > camps. Mastery > 7-on-7 trophies. College coaches recruit game tape, not weekends.

I am not ashamed of my journey. My life will be a testimony. But if I could offer a word of advice to any freshman, sophomore or junior athlete in high school it would be to just listen bro. All them adults in your life not just talking to talk. They been here longer. They done bumped they head already. They trying to save you from doing the same thing. Do not make the mistake of thinking your talent alone is enough. It’s not. Talent open doors. Character and grades keep you there. And if you already messed up, if your GPA not where it should be, if your name been in rooms for the wrong reasons… don’t quit. Keep digging. You can climb out the hole the same way you dug it. Class of 29, 28 and 27 hear me. Take your grades serious.
Choose who you hang around wisely.
Protect your name. Word spreads fast if you a crash out.
Respect authority. Nobody riding for you like your parents and coaches.
Work hard when nobody clapping. Do not wait until senior year to lock in. That GPA do not lie. I’m still figuring it out myself. I’m struggling but I know God got me. Be intentional.
Lock in early. Pray. Show up ready to work. I’m learning the hard way that my future is being built in the small decisions I make today. Start now.

I love this reflection question: if your teammates matched your habits, your effort, and your attitude every day…would we be better or worse?

Improving every day...

A coaching connection led to Texas Tech offering Hammond School (SC) LB Jackson Ross. The standout LB now lists 15 total offers and is planning an official visit to Lubbock this offseason. ➡️ on3.com/sites/red-raid…

Back on the road to find some DUDES! Been jotting down some recruiting tips that I think will be helpful for some under the radar guys to get the attention of a college coach. This is what has been helpful/efficient for me from an evaluation standpoint. These are just my personal opinion but hope this helps: - This is the most important one in my opinion. Make a 60 second video of your absolute best 6-8 plays from the season. Post it on X. Pin it to the top of your profile (exactly like the video that I have pinned to the top of mine). Make sure it’s an actual video that you can play through X, not a link. The less clicks the better. I love watching drone footage because it's usually the most clear to see. Tell your HC to invest in a drone if y'all don't have one. (Less than $100 on Amazon). You want to grab a coaches attention as quickly as possible so that we are interested enough to then go to your Hudl, watch your full game tape & then build a relationship. - In your X bio, list your graduation class, GPA, phone number, true barefoot height/weight, HC phone number & Hudl link. Make sure your Hudl link is actually working and make sure to have your full season highlights at the top of your profile with a clear video title indicating that it's your highlights vs full game clips. Have as much full game tape as you possibly can on your Hudl profile as well because if the highlights are intriguing then we will watch your full games. - Turn your X notifications on. If a coach follows you, make sure to follow them back and then DM them if you are in the appropriate class that we can communicate with. 26' & 27's right now. - This may be extra but again, you want to make this process as efficient as you possibly can for the coach. Get someone to take a video of you doing your height, weight & arm length and post it on your X too. So it's verified. Make sure you are visibly barefoot in these videos. These are helpful in case you are across the country and we can’t easily get you on campus to get these measurables. Hope this helps fellas!

Extremely proud to announce that after a great conversation with @CoachClaytonW I have received an offer from The University of South Carolina!! @CoachSBeamer @dru_lindler @Coach_TMoney @CoachJonWheeler @JoshuaOrtegon @HammondSports

Champions Know…

Parents need to hear this: D2 and D3 offers are more valuable than ever. Missing a season kills momentum. Gap years don’t work. Sitting and transferring rarely works. Those coaches can move on fast. If you get an offer, take it seriously. mikefarrellpromotions.com

1 of the best things about Christmas Break: seeing our former @HammondFootball players back on campus: Mike Tyler from @GamecockFB, Adis Jamison from @TNTechFootball, & Will McQueen from @PaladinFootball!

Great to have our former @HammondFootball player, Immanuel Johnson, back on campus after making All A’s while playing for @DartmouthFTBL!
