Man everything you said is true but we gotta stop acting like these others schools don’t need have anything going for them either . Yea they playing the bag game but they also just played in the title game with a freshman QB , jsigned a monster class and on their way to another one, and had $100 million in renovations to their football facilities. Throw in the fact that he has a couple friends up there on the team an all of a sudden it doesn’t become hard to leave Florida.
Listen to them in the interviews they’re saying it themselves . There are still some old school kids but a lot of these kids don’t give af about that staying home **** man. If they have the talent they can ball anywhere and go to the league. They don’t have to stay home for the fam to see them, can watch em on tv or **** in the $EC they probably giving out flights and tickets that’s chump change to them it probably comes with the package . It is what it is .
Last but not least there are kids whose parents are telling them the exact OPPOSITE of what you just said. A lot of them encourage their kids to go out of state. You’ve been in Florida all your life, see new places, meet new ppl, be successful elsewhere, you can always come back, that kinda bs. They go to these schools on visits and the staff throws players that are from their area at them as their escort for the visit. Parents see that and get comfortable with their kid leaving and tell them so. We did the same thing with DeeJay and Ezzard cuz he was from GA. It’s a wrap after that
It’s still up to the coaches to convince them that’s what they get paid for
