Hope Perkins doesn’t invest all of his NIL money into his uncle’s “business”.

 

Not much hope for Dudley i don't believe he never visited UF

 

All that CB business is BS...those guys don't know any more than the rest of us....

 

His uncle was obviously all LSU. Some schools just have a different kind of pull and we aren’t one of them. Doesn’t mean we can’t be one but we need to hammer the state of FL and actually show kids in the state we want them.

 

On to 2023

 

Yeah the thing is these are all Louisiana/Texas kids, we went after them because of previous relationships/ only people left.

there is a lot of context here missing if you’re just simply pissed we didn’t get them.

obviously we will prioritize Florida next year and I’m confident the results will be different.

 

Sucks, but probably a reminder Geography still matters in many cases … don’t know Perkins family history, but a lot of ties between Houston area and Louisiana, New Orleans area in particular post-Katrina.

Almost 13 hour drive vs 41/2 hour to BR.
Highlights the need to dominate Florida and have players outside the immediate footprint just be a bonus.

 

Kelly hiring Frank Wilson was a genius move, especially for an outsider like him.

 

And yet that different pull could not pull in Lewis, Douglas, and Citizen. And going further back Etienne.

 

It takes time to build relationships with high school programs in Florida. Previous guy was too lazy to do that; hence the mess we are in. Hoping cbn will fix that.

 

I’d love to see the NIL numbers being promised by each school to these recruits.

 

CBN and crew got us into the conversation, huge stride forward

 

Kind of thought that when I read that his mom just started going to his games when he was in high school and his uncle has been coaching him from a little kid

 

I’m not pissed we didn’t sign them. We had next to no relationship with most of these kids prior to December. I’m way more frustrated that the previous staff and their lack of ability to actually create inroads in FL. We only landed like 4 of the top 50 kids in the state of FL.

 

$$$$$$$ yep

 

With what Napier and the staff has done in the last few months is nothing short of spectacular. To get us in consideration with so many recruits so late in the game, nailed an Early Day signing period, and having a bunhc of 2023 kids already coming in... the future is bright!!!

 

Agree. At least Billy stepped to the plate and swung for the fence. You never know if it will pay dividends down the road in transfer portal too.

Who was the last 5 star UF pulled from LA? I couldn’t think of any but I’m sure there’s a few who could rattle off a list of names.

 

Absolutely everything that has transpired in the last 59 days leads me to believe we will be exactly where we want to be with the next class.

Couldn't be happier with the way this class turned out under the circumstances.

 

I’m good with what the new regime has accomplished so far. On to Spring Ball, transfer portal pick ups and Fall. Curious to see the make up and how this teams plays next season.
