    Yep several schools offered as soon as he committed to us. Isn't that funny how that works for us? Napier and his army do all the do-diligence on a player and all these leaches from other schools come calling for an easy meal.

    Seems more like he may be the only one that ends up flipping.

    Yep, we all know that commitments aren't worth the electrons they're printed on anymore.

    Josh says UF at #5 is shaky. Everyone is predicting the flips, but will they actually happen. Hope not, landing a top 5 class, now, would be a BIG win for this staff, and much needed.

    Isn’t it shaky for everybody with NIL the way it is?

    Trending the wrong way……that’s what 5 consecutive losses to end your season will do to you.
    Sixty days ago, things looked very promising. In 5 weeks it went from promising to (you name it).
    Even FSU and UM flew by the Gators. Not a good look.

    Hoping these are last 2. Baugh, Mincey, and Smith could soften it if we landed all 3.

    Those are quite enjoyable, but the kind I want on his face I don’t think you would like.
