Very, very brief mention on TEs

Brock Schott

Visited

Names to watch

[lindend]

The way he flew through the TEs is concerning. Almost like kids are watching how the TE wasn't used last year and we're struggling.

Who's Koby?

 

[suzyS7389]

Who's Koby?

Howard the kid that broke his leg two paradise camps ago

 

[Cribby]

yea hopefully we can back channel him into the portal back home

He could come now. It’s been a year.

 

[catsncanes]

How do we distinguish this from copium? FSU "insiders" have been saying this about Ward as well.

My feeling is OSU is interested in Ward but not interested in paying a large NIL demand. Ward is interested in OSU but not interested in taking less $. Thus they are both simultaneously interested but not interested.

 

[SCarolina Ibis]

"Miami may be open to take a 2nd QB"

This is the 3rd year in a row we've heard this. We finally got a good one committed, so watch this be the year they actually do it.

 

[mlw352]

He could come now. It’s been a year.

I thought so I hope we can convince him to leave that trash **** and come help man our backend for a few seasons before he hits the draft a successful Darrell Jackson esque coupe

 

[Cajuncane]

He could come now. It’s been a year.

Hope your white smoke is for a QB but the main thing I got out of all of that ( thank you for all of it Lindend) is we still don’t have a QB and have no idea when.if we gonna get one…

 

[Shooter McGavin]

Nathaniel Marshall is another highly ranked DL from the same conference as Justin Scott's school. Mario trying to **** around and get a Chicago pipeline going. He needs to check out Charles Bass down in East St Louis.

Saying Miami isn't in a good position with Koby is funny... He will be playing at a newly minted Miami feeder school next year

Assuming we only have 3-4 spots at WR next year, who would you choose? All Florida WRs I'd assume?

D$ talks about the big City recruiting. Seems to be paying off. Wanna keep it going.

 

[sandimas0912]

The year doesn’t even matter because JT is on-field, right?

 

[supacane]

Nickel is gonna probably get a big ranking boost. If these rankings are any good. Imo he could start as a FR on a veteran team after early enrolling. Thats how highly i think of him. For u to get a #1 class u need highly rated QB and elite talent at every position. Elite rated atleast. I expect a more balanced class with them going after elite players everywhere.
Also im sure there are players who we arent even speaking of now who gonna end up on the radar. Dont remember too many mentions of Lyle and Ny Carr at this time last class.

The St Louis area has some studs

@DMoney do you plan on doing the South Fl position by position breakdowns this offseason for the 25 class?
I always enjoy those.
