Max Hall?

He said "hated", not "beloved".

[Bo Diddley]

OK, I'll bite. Who is his grandpa?

Nice. I think our school record when I was lifting was about 500#. Of course we did parallel squats, and that was almost 40 years ago.

I usually email coaches directly. If you have a link to hudl or YouTube with video, they may take it more seriously. I’ve only had a few instances where the coaches responded, and it was typically for kids they already knew about.

I have a friend who is good friends with ARod, so if you get film online, I can send links. Mercy Bowcoop, Miss Ure.

Danke

Awesome…. It’s seems there was a website or something you could give recruiting tips to BYU athletics. (I found it once searching years ago.) In any case, get some highlight videos up and post some links. Youth football is great.

p.s. Think about taking him to a BYU football camp over the summer.

I sent a message to the recruiting coordinator. I am not confident I will get a response. Sending boys to a football camp isn't really feasible. They are in school until the last week of June. We are also in the middle of our season. We have huddle film, but will need to get some better footage of the upcoming season.

I think Lost Student was confused about your concrete re-pouring skills.

Haaaa ... I did not notice the spelling ....

sorry "rapport." I have no idea how or why it corrected to repour

[BigFatMeanie]

I also have a PhD, don't swear or screen at the boys, and I am the only coach that speaks French. As coaches, for some of the boys we father figures. Her English is great, but she is pleased that after games I am able to explain some of the nuances of the game in French.

I do not live in the US.

I have a good rapport with all the parents, but I also have a PhD, don't swear or screem at the boys, and I am the only coach that speaks French. As coaches, for some of the boys we are father figures, and having one who is highly educated plays well to the parents who sacrificed a lot for their children by immigrating. Her English is great, but she is pleased that after games I am able to explain some of the nuances of the game in French.

[Lost Student]

We have a good repour, largely because I speak French.

Does anyone here have legit information on how to contact a recruiting coordinator for BYU? The past couple of years I got back into coaching youth football. This past Fall season our team was the U14 Provincial champions. We start training for our Spring - Summer season in couple of weeks.

At the tail end of COVID, after all of the lockdowns (much stricter here, than in the US) we wanted to get my 13-year-old out of the house doing something, so signed him up for football. I volunteered as a team manager and helped with special teams. This request is not for him. He turned out to be a very good football player (Field side D-end, tight-end, punter, place kicker—in youth football he did not come off the field). Now 15 and in high school I think he has topped out at 6’ 1.5” (6’ 2”) in cleats. He will get by on academics. There are however, younger boys I will be coaching worth a look.

This upcoming spring season I am offensive coordinator. We’ve got three boys who are 14 playing their final U14 season before moving on to high school. They are recognized by the league as three of the best players in the province.

The best of the 3 started two seasons ago (12 years old, 6”) at left tackle on offense. He is now 6’ 3”, still growing and rightly considered the best D-lineman in the province. He is a pure athlete, unblockable, and he has become a very good basketball player between football seasons.

He is a great kid, humble, respectful, and religious. His Mom is African and does not put up with nonsense. We have a good repour, largely because I speak French. He will have recruiters looking at him, especially when they see he has grown since the fall season ended in November.

The next best of the three is the best running back in the province for his age. He is also an outstanding basketball player (on the same rep team with the other boy). His parents are also African and strict. He is currently 6’ 1”, but I think he has stopped growing.

At running back, he has been a man among boys. However, looking to the future I think he should focus more on defense. But it is hard to tell a 14-year-old boy who scored nearly 30 touch downs that as he gets older, other athletes could catch up to him. And it’s hard not to give him 20 plus touches a game.

The third boy is our QB. He is 6’ 2” and still growing. He is a great athlete. He has a great arm, but frankly, when he was 12, we moved him to tight end. That is the position where he has a future.

This isn’t a humble brag, or hey look at me. Coaching was a huge blessing for me over the past several months. It helped keep me sane. This upcoming season I was asked and have decided to take on a bigger role. These really are good kids. I love BYU and figure why not let them know about the talent that is here.
