    That's the key, it could be a very good class with wins or a class that falls apart with another losing season. This is a pivotal season imo.

    He has such great length and vision. I've noticed on his highlights he's got eyes on the QB and will come off his reciever to make the interception.

    I don't blame any commit for going elsewhere right now. It sucks that he's a legacy, but we're in a terrible situation for recruiting these days. You're either committing to a yet unnamed new coach you don't know, or for a guy that everyone says is getting fired. And even if he doesn't get fired and is somehow back next season, he spent all this season with everyone saying he was getting fired. I'd encourage my sons to steer clear of a mess like that.

    well they got the glow so far this season on the field, closing in on their 3rd straight top 10 recruiting class, and their NIL is going strong. Pretty simple choice if you ask me

    His dad went to Miami Senior and Junior goes to Booker T. The hometown school doesn't have our turmoil and is enjoying a very good year so far. Seems like a natural to me.

    If a gator has no problem with his son being a cane, I guess

    Business decision. For all we know he grew up rooting for the Canes even though his Dad was a Gator legacy.

    More damage from an inadequate HC. No telling where the program bottoms out after the Napier disaster. Not even sure the guy realizes how far back he put our program. "It's an honor".

    How does billy turn this recruit class around? We won’t be able to compete down the road if we finish in the 30s or 40s and all our main rivals are in the top 10. Transfer portal helps but as shown by FSU you can’t rely on it. This is very concerning for Napier’s future.

    You only have to go to the games to figure out which school to go to. It’s an easy decision.
