    We will know in time. Not sure speculation is appropriate right now.

    I’ll never forget watching he, Easley, Floyd, and Elam all commit within days of each other. What a loaded class that was. Terrible news of a young man gone to soon. Prayers to his family and friends.

    Don't Understand the post?
    What does Brock and Martez have to do with this news?

    It provides some context without showing the entire list. What would you have learned from just his picture/rating? Three close to his quality in 20 years, but he was a rarity having what is probably a perfect score, even among the best recruits at UF.
