LeBlanc with a CB to Oklahoma and Walker with a CB to Ohio State. Man, if we really strike out at Osceola ...
I want James to be the SSDE that I had hoped Dexter would be if we had had some DT. Walker is what we really need at DT.
I don’t know where most will go but almost every, if not all, highly ranked recruits leaning UF early this summer have ended up going elsewhere or picking new leaders. With LeBlanc most likely headed to Oklahoma makes it more obvious. I’m not blaming our staff. This NIL crap is a shitstorm and I’d rather our roster be accommodated instead of recruits.
I like the optimism but the trend seems that the highly ranked recruits from May and early June are going somewhere else.
And here our hopes were that the new staff could lock down the state. That was a terribly tall order from the start. This NIL thing has made it even more difficult. We have to win on the field.
The fact the staff wasn't willing to overpay on some kids should help down the road with the budget. It's kind of an altered version of moneyball. We have to be smart with the available resources.
