I would guess they probably felt wasn't worth getting into a bidding War with UF over him.
We're likely going Portal shopping for a couple WR's this offseason, so wouldn't make sense to overspend for a HS WR who probably wouldn't play much as a TF.
Gotta be by far our most underrated commit
Facts!!! My favorite recruit on the offensive side of the ball this cycle. Kid is a heck of a football player.
Honestly I feel pretty **** good about all of the skill guys on the offensive side of the ball (Pringle’s size worries me, especially since we refuse to run wide). I don’t remember being extremely impressed with Gilbert’s junior film when he committed but what he’s got out there of his senior stuff has me excited.
Extremely skeptical of the tackles, especially Campbell.
I think Pringle runs pretty tough for his size tbh. I hear you on the T prospects. Seem like reaches but we can afford projects if Bell, Samson, Kinsler, and Plazz all stay competing for the available T spot.
Lots of money. Florida boosters are stepping up. They are in desperation mode as they should be and they are letting their money talk as a program should if they want to compete at the top of college football.
Patrick Nix is Upshaw coach
Nix sure has aged since he was at Miami
We do that to people.
Nix called Upshaw an absolute game changer on both sides of the ball
They were putting 2 and 3 guys on him and he was still getting the ball
Unless we strike total gold in portal for multiple wr's he will find a way to get on the field immediately
Iirc, he had 6 or 7 receptions in the first half against Hoover. And he's tough too. And last but not least, he's faster than people realize. I'm excited about keeping this kid in the class.
Unfortunately, I was also excited about keeping Merritt but apparently we moved on. I think his name will pop up in a few years as an outstanding cfb player.

Merritt might actually stick
Did he visit for WF?
I believe he did but I could be wrong. It's silly season with reporting this time of year. I like the kid a lot. Really good athlete and can hit like a truck. If he shows up as an EE he could surprise. We have a great hit rate with these Bama prospects and I expect the trend to continue with Merritt & Upshaw.
