not really true. We have recruited Tampa over the years, but maybe not last few years. Over the decades we've had a ton of kids from that area. It seems we fixate on certain areas, like Georgia under Right. We've ignored Louisiana and Texas for years....under Jimmy and Butch we were fairly heavy into those areas. Usually depends on a coach's background and who he knows.
We built different from the boys in sfl. Put some speck on this area lol
Kelly and Hipps were two of the highest rated in the country yet had disappointing careers. Of course Kelly left early for baseball but did Hipps ever,start for us?
Williams def ain't coming here and Watson is an Armwood kid lol.
I agree but one thing I will say about Watson is that he isn’t your typical Armwood recruit. Armwood has always shown favoritism towards certain players and they push those players towards certain schools (usually whoever is paying or was offering coaching jobs before the rule change.) Dez is a country boy that lives in plant city (literally next door to me), and isn’t apart of the “in” crowd at Armwood. But yea we won’t get him though lol. I don’t think we are really recruiting him like that at this time.
**** jit scarred...
Matt Patchan, Petey and Eric Smith, Angelo Hadley, Alvin and Calvin Bailey, Demetrius McCray, Ryne Giddens, Doc Rivers, and the list goes on and on. Armwood is a front running school the gobbles up a lot of the talent in the 813. That dying down though as kids are seeing Armwood for what they are. They use and forget you. That’s why school like TB Tech, Gaither, Steinbrenner, and Jesuit are on the rise.
It’s sad man. He was into **** like that in hs and I use to try and talk to him whenever I saw him. My main thing was get that degree and don’t come back here. It ain’t **** here but a 9-5 at a hot *** warehouse, or the streets. Then he left to Oregon, failed drug test after drug test and left after a year, came home and got hemmed up
That's what McGahee said about Portis.
