From the LSU 247 board:
I do not feel delaying his decision from Saturday to June 26 had anything to do with a team making an unexpected move, outside of Miami. There is talk he could pop up for his fifth and final official visit before he commits next Sunday. I still feel Florida and Texas A&M are ahead of LSU, Miami and Ole Miss (in that order), and Florida would be my pick out of that group. However, a late visit to Miami will cause a little chaos on the prediction front, and what would recruiting be without chaos.
LSU is still in there fighting and is still in communication with the family. For me, it comes down to the Florida quarterback room looking more appealing right now, and I think that’s one of the biggest keys UF is selling. This season’s backup to Anthony Richardson – Ohio State transfer Jack Miller – would be a redshirt sophomore in 2023, with two lesser-known quarterbacks joining him in Jalen Kitna and Max Brown, who were ranked 80th and 96th at their position in their respective classes.
At LSU, the picture could include redshirt sophomore Garrett Nussmeier and redshirt freshman Walker Howard, who were ranked 14th and 5th, respectively, and who knows what Jayden Daniels does after this season. I’m not saying that is the only reason UF has emerged from the pack, but I think a more direct path to early playing time is a big one.
Texas A&M’s picture will likely change after this season with Haynes King and Max Johnson both entering their third years in the SEC. Add in five-star true freshman Conner Weigman, and it paints a better picture of why Florida’s QB room looks more appealing in comparing those three.
That’s because college football doesn’t exist outside the SEC. They think they’re the only ones that recruits want to play for
