Sojourn Shelton to Wisconsin, will Collins follow?

[duppy03]

Just saw that he committed to Wisconsin, and I think they play on the same team. Correct me if I'm wrong. Just saying.

What does one have to do with the other? Different schools.

SS-Plantation, AC-South Plantation. As someone else said, two different schools.

I know Sojourn is trying to get him to come with. They seem to be good friends and have talked about playing together.

We made it through Collin's official visit without a committ so I'm feeling more confident about him right now.

It's something like this: "Hey man, FSU dropped me and no one else in Florida offered me except UCF, so I'm going to Wisconsin. You should come too even though you have every option in the state of Florida begging you to stay"

I have followed recruiting for a number of years. Kids do not usually seem to choose their schools based on where their friends go. I know that I didn't.

Just a bit of a poll here. Did any of you choose your college because that is where your friends went (girlfriends excluded)?

 

[cowboycane]

I went to a school as far as possible from where everyone in my high school went. The "package deal" thing is always overrated, very few ever come to fruition.

 

[Canesfan1899]

I wouldn't have minded going to school with my friends, but it came down to what I wanted to major in, and the fact that if I did go to school with them I would have been an even bigger alcoholic than I already was in college.

I don't think UF has offered Collins yet amazingly enough, although they're finally starting to notice him.

Muschamp is avoiding South Florida like the plague, and for good reasons.

**** no. your friends don't decide your future, you do.

all of my boys went to either UF or FSU and i'm at the University of Miami right now. i been blessed with scholarships though. no way i can afford 40K every year.

I believe a large part of the reason for that is the loss of Aubrey Hill, who was in charge of the area. Unfortunately, I doubt UF will stay out of SoFla long term

Why would he waste his time trying to recruit SFl and struggle to create pipelines like Jimbo Fisher is doing? Muschamp is savvy enough to know that there's enough talent from the Tampa area and north to GA and the Carolinas. It's an uphill battle for UF in SFl with Miami, Alabama and FSU all having a stronger presence.

Disagree. This "AAU" culture has made it's way to football recruiting big-time. All these kids wanna play with their boys. Idk how close Shelton and Collins are though. But you are understating the importance of having friends going to a certain school.

Agree, and they can try and cherry pick 1-2 kids they really like, knowing they have an uphill battle.
