The Marshall Thundering Herd comes to town and it is also just past mid-season for high schools. This time frame is perfect to check mid-season statistics and film for commits and for student athletes who are on the border of being offered. Hudl is one of the most important tools in being able to follow high school prospects and it is mind boggling how some prospects do not update their profiles. This point in the season is also great to check social media and checking for potential character flaws with frustration from prospects. I also got to experience more with compliance as I was there for one of the meetings to understand even more of what is allowed on game days in the recruiting room and what is not to make sure there is no confusion or penalties. I also got to learn more about the concussion protocol and how serious the school and NCAA are about the protocol. I have read about it before but the specific details were very enlightening, especially with the importance all levels are placing on the subject. After the meetings, I began to prepare lanyards and organize the all the check-in sheets. I got to enjoy dinner with the team this game which feels like I am making more progression but I decided not to stay with the team. I am learning quite a bit from every aspect of the game on the field and in preparation and this is the last game I will be preparing for. The team has another home game left against FIU but it did fall on Halloween and I have a promise to keep to my children. I have been working hard and this year in my eyes, this will be the final year I will have the opportunity to be with my children on Halloween because I plan to have a full time job next season where my dedication to the program is above everything.
