A lot of coaches tweet about how much they miss their players and want to hug them, thats nice but we need change not hugs. I challenge all HS and college coaches who realize we need change to act! Go out to peacefully protest in solidarity with the community. All races, all ages.

We have eyes in the front of our heads for a reason, so we can see whats in front of us. Nobody cares about how hard you worked yesterday, focus on today. Out work yesterday!.

Recruiting advice to all prospects: this is a BIG decision, choose facts over feelings. Your feelings will change a lot more than the facts. .

A recruit just asked me "what makes Richmond different".My response: how much time do you have? it would be easier for me to tell you what we have in common with everyone else. Nothing! There's only one Spider!.

Don't quarantine your work ethic! You don't need a group of people to sharpen your skills. You + a little creativity and determination will do!.

"A picture is worth a thousand words" is an understatement. Nile Harris, who embodies everything you dream of in a student-athlete, having a conversation with President Crutcher. 2 extraordinary Richmond men! #ItsBiggerThanFootball

Everyday we should acknowledge and appreciate women in sports, understanding the experiences/obstacles they face may be unique/different from their male counterparts. Special acknowledgment to the narrator, Maya West, my amazing daughter and future woman in sports!.

Recruits should be selective and view camps as job interviews. This interview can lead to a 68,000 dollar a year scholarship!

Go be great young king! Proud of you @tfunderburk2.
Undrafted rookie corner Tyrek Funderburk introduced with the Bucs' defensive starters in pregame. A huge four-game stretch ahead for him, stepping in for the injured Jamel Dean against serious NFL competition.

Recycle your pain! Anything that happened yesterday is in the past, today is a new day. Dont fall into the trap of allowing negative energy to make you feel sorry for yourself. New week, new grind! Recycle your pain and turn it into a positive force of change. Let's work!.
