    We might set the record this cycle for kids we "lead" for but are unable to get to commit.

    I bet if they got a million reasons to like it, they would.

    As opposed to "weren't in the convo"? I'll take trending over no chance.

    I don't think Wilson or Jean are ranked high enough to generate much of a bidding war. They'll commit to the team they want to play for, UF.

    Question for those in the know? What kind of receiver is Jean? Wilson seems to have the same skill set as Whittemore but is also a great return specialist. Is Jean more of an outside WR or is he another slot receiver?

    Jean is a speed/slot guy. Him, Wilson, and Creed will be the slot guys if we were able to land all 3.

    Not blazing but football speed is so much different than track.

    Creed has good long speed. I can see him on the outside if he spends his senior year in high school at WR. Tough call for his dad unless there's another really good QB on the team. Creed's an excellent QB.

    Because it's June. Ain't shit permanent, and 5+ months in recruiting is like a lifetime. You know how much will change over the next 5 months, Including the ratings of these recruits you're melting down over.

    How is one of these schools gonna feel after already spending a bag , and their QB comes out his Senior year and is crap, then goes to camps and doesn't do well, gets dropped way down the rankings, now they have a mid tier QB that they paid 1st round money to before their senior season of HS.

    And you also seem to think we can only spend money during the summer. By not blowing our cash now we will have more to spend before signing day after we've seen the recruits go thru their senior season, discover guys who sky rocket up the rankings, and even the top guys since they can't officially sign til December. UF could come in after these schools have blown ridiculous amounts of money and make a can't refuse offer to someone they really want. We still have time on our side and when moneybis involved you always have till the 11th hour.
