Which Class Implodes First? [FSU, UF and UCF Are Battling For The Title]

[lindend]

Mario & Miami have reconquered the state of Florida and the other three state programs are in shambles. There's currently a race to see who's class can implode the fastest and have the most decommits. Who wins this contest and why?

MORE DECOMMITS COMING FOR FLORIDA, FLORIDA STATE AND UCF​

In college football recruiting, there is a notion that the on-field product doesn't impact success on the trail as much — but the 2024 season has begun to prove otherwise in the state of Florida. Miami is running away with on-field success and recruiting is following suit as Mario Cristobal and company are likely to secure a third-straight top-10 class. Otherwise, it's decommitment and flip season in the state.​

​

Florida has already seen attrition to its commitment list and more is certainly on the way. Defensive lineman Jeramiah McCloud (Georgia) and 2026 defensive back Jaelen Waters (Miami) are two to watch but there could be others.​

​

Florida State has already lost all three receivers it had committed in the class and now programs are charging for the trenches with offensive lineman Solomon Thomas (Miami, LSU, Florida) and Kevin Wynn (Georgia, South Carolina, USC), among many others.​

​

UCF may be the program to see the most attrition in the short term, following defensive lineman Christian Hudson (Colorado), receiver Carl Jenkins and linebacker Cam White decommitting in the last week or so. As of Monday evening, the highest-ranked Knight pledge in Jayvan Boggs has lined up a Florida State official visit. Fellow four-stars Tony Williams and Waden Charles have suitors outside of Orlando as do Miami-based twins Darryl and Mandrell Desir.​

Three Predictions: Michigan's finish, decommits in Florida, Vernell Brown

Four-star receiver Vernell Brown III has been committed to Florida since July.

UCF may be the program to see the most attrition in the short term, ​

May be a photo finish, but I disagree w/Garcia here. FSU's class was horrendous to begin with and virtually any decent remaining recruit is jumping ship.

 

[Bender]

FSU, it already has started imploding. UF will be next, Hanks and Vernell Brown won't stick. Not saying they will come here, but they won't stick.

UCF? Wouldn't say imploding. Sucked before, sucks now.

UCF? Wouldn't say imploding. Sucked before, sucks now.

I haven't really been following them. Why are the UCF recruits suddenly bailing? What are these unforseen circumstances?

UCF is really sucking. Malzahn probably sold them on a bright future and they've completely lost the plot.

In a worst-case, they're not winning a single game on the remaining schedule and that's not that unlikely.

Malzahn is probably going to get canned if they don’t win out. Lame duck coach situation

 

[Mikeiavelli]

FSU for sure. I don't care about UCF and and the gator does have a little breath left in their program...but not much. Doesn't take a whole lot to have more traction than FSU right now.

 

[DontCareJustWin]

@Dwinstitles aint gonna be happy with this guy saying winning matters in recruiting.

Lashlee success at SMU really emphasizes how bad the UCF situation is because they really have every opportunity to breakout as a program and they just keep getting smashed in big game moments

Malzahn is a dead man walking. HIs 1995 offense doesn't help either.

FSU 1st, UCF starting.

Gus has been surpassed by his student. Lashlee has updated Gus’ offense for 2024. Gus is still playing like it’s 2012. You can’t win with a quarterback who can’t pass in today’s game. KJ Jefferson regressed as a passer and Jacurri Brown is still wildly inaccurate. Gus wants guys who can run first but they have to be able to keep defenses honest by throwing occasionally.

 

[JHallCanes]

Tough to get worse. But it can…

He forgot the last two cycles that no other losing HC could do

 

[lindend]

The beatings will continue until morale improves. Feel bad for Ice Jr. for being a sacrificial lamb.

Five straight losses and a midseason fired DC.

Those were relatively unforeseen circumstances.

Gus was a weird hire for them in the first place

Gus was a weird hire for them in the first place

They had success with young, up and comer types like Frost and Heupel but I think they wanted a known commodity to help with recruiting. Gus had a good run for a bit but recruiting never took off and they’ve gotten stagnant with the move to the Big12.
