Contrary to how things look optics wise, i dont mind them getting rid of all these kids. Only one I wanted to keep is Gibson.
Evers - 55% completion percentage to go along with 19 td’s and 8 ints this year. Outside of UF and OU, what big time program is without a QB at this point in time? I like him, im cool with his mom via Twitter and she actually post on Swamp Gas often
CJ Smith - wants to run track and only played NINE games of varsity football and has had injuries his last two years in HS. A lot of potential but not enough
Nolton - nobody wanted him and he was an easy get for us for our last staff. Miami didn’t give him an ounce of attention and he’s smaller than Jacurri Brown lol.
Gibbs - he’s a RB in the state of Florida that NOBODY else wanted or have tried to recruit.
Bond - decommited BEFORE Napier was hired so I don’t include him in the decommits that have occured since he’s become HC.
Napier asked them to hold off them signing on ESD so he and the staff can do their own evals and these kids don’t want to. I get BOTH sides. Napier don’t want to burn a counter and sign a dude “just because” and these kids want to get in where they fit in before spots become scarce and you CAN NOT blame them. Napier said at his presser dont expect anything on ESD and that’s happening.
put it this way, look at Manny Diaz transition class in 2019 and ask yourself how many of them made a difference in 2021. I’m NOT saying if he asked me for my advice on how he’s doing it, I’d be with it 100% on board with it, but i GET it. **** i dont have a choice BUT to lol
