2024 Recruiting Thread (offers, visits, highlights, etc)

I think, I tried! To make it pretty clear that I do not care lol

 

Texas will pay up for him no doubt

 

It’s been like that long before NIL and it just cost a lot more money now

 

And much like the NFL model, overpaying for the top. Running back in the league is not the way to win championships. Other positions are far more important.

June is gonna be HUGE for UF

 

Can anyone point to a list of visitors for this weekend? Don't even see one on the Insider board.

 

Interesting. Only hosting 10 in-State players out of 33 doesn't seem like a way to start winning back the State, unless they are planning on hosting FL players at a later date. I wonder how many of these out-of-State players are using that Official visit just to visit the great State of Florida.

 

I haven’t seen Stone listed with an OV to Uf but in this article he says he may be here June 2nd weekend. Would be huge.

Does it make you feel better that UF can give out 22 more official visits all of which can go to Florida high schoolers?

You'd rather not have arguably the top QB, RB, WR, S, CB and DL in the country visiting on the same day? We should split out the top ranked out-of-staters in a separate date to make our lower ranked Florida recruits feel more love?

I would rather get the top recruiting class that has the best chance of winning us championships over getting the most top 50 Florida players. That's just me (and hopefully CBN).

 

kind of a down year for talent in florida is what I have been reading . Texas is loaded this year

 

State border kinda goes out the window if the ones that have reall interest aren’t here

 

Look at the current commits. Only three out of eight are from Florida. The current offer list is heavy on Georgia and Texas prospects. Who cares where they come from? Until we're competing for championships, we won't be competitive with UGA, BAMA and OSU recruiting in Florida.

 

That just makes too much sense...it's almost like, spooky.

 

If we can't compete with those institutions in FL then why would you believe we can be more successful against them in other States? Until we start winning our fair share of head to head recruiting battles for top recruits in our own State against them it will be very difficult to be competitive with those schools where it really counts: on the field.

 

Sure...but isn't that part of the problem that should be addressed? If top FL players really aren't interested, what is the reason for that?

 

I always subtract the IMG players from the FL rankings too, but at least some also live in FL. The recruiting rankings make it difficult to tell where those players are actually from.

 

Cash. They like cash.
