2025 Ben Hanks Jr 4* CB from Booker T Commits to the Gator

[TheOriginalCane]

Edit with the Pops says it all.

Close thread.

Agree.

Disagree.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Yea i agree. Spurrier unretired his #11 jersey to get his daddy to come to UF. Aint no way son was NOT committing to UF

I love how you didn't use the word SIGNING.

Jr. can always decommit.

 

[TheOriginalCane]

I’ve been saying don’t get your hopes up with him and Brown. The only way I see this happening down the road is UF having a god awful year and UF messing up this recruitment with the sister / volleyball. Other than that I wouldn’t hold my breath. A lot would have to go wrong

She has multiple offers...

 

[Brains]

None if this would be an issue if our fans had bought LIFW. Be careful what you wish for.

Pretty clear Hanks was never coming here. We'll be fine without him.

She has multiple offers...

Is one to Miami ?

 

[Cribby]

I can’t see UF ******** that up. You find a way to get her to UF.

I watched his dad play. I told the board he wasn't coming.

Still made sense to recruit the **** out of him. Put yourself in position in case something falls apart with Alachua Dork School.

In this instance, you can't be mad at the result or the effort.

He had a ok game tonight. But didn’t pop out. They lost to Dillard 21-14

i dont think this is 100% over, BUT ive never felt comfortable with a Gator legacy committing to Miami.

With that said, its crazy we cant sign the top RANKED guy in South Florida for whatever reason. Money, Legacy, Clout, Connections.

On the brightside, only 2 of those players have turned out to be any good.

Most of the time, the top ranked player in South FL is gonna turn out to be a bust. So missing on them is not as big of a deal that the board always makes it out to be.

While they each have their own story the theme is unfortunate .

Just hang it up the kid ain’t coming here lol

 

[Golsen82]

My daughter asked me where she should go to college. I told her that I didn't care as long as it wasn't UF, FSU, ND or PSU.....and I'm just a fan

Agree. Wouldn't want my kids going there. Being in Tennessee I'd rather they go to University of Tennessee than those 4 mentioned

The top SoFL player is always treated like the King of Zamunda by these local handler loser types from Pop Warner onwards and most seem to come in entitled and not with the best work ethic, Jeremiah seemed to be the outlier of all that last year, but you're absolutely right otherwise.

 

[Brains]

If you were a former Miami Hurricanes player, how would you feel about your son going to play for UF or FSU?

I would let em know they've been removed from the estate.

Spoiler: King of Zamunda

Fong says Canes are trying to flip Hanks sister and get her to the U. Chess, not checkers
