According to Ryan Bartow today:
*In terms of South Florida recruiting this is as wide a flood gate as he has seen. Miami has the top 2 RBs (Scarlett and Walton) and the top safety (Johnson). The rest of the top talent is headed out of here.
*What he's hearing from recruits and HS coaches. He said SFL HS coaches have a lot of love for the local guys on staff, especially Ice Harris and James Coley. There is "some disdain among HS coaches in Broward and Dade for a lot of the defensive coaches on Golden's staff." Bartow also said whether it's attitude, ego or work ethic a lot of these coaches have rubbed these great HS coaches in SFL the wrong way. "They're seeing the guys they send there and they're not really used in ways you would imagine, a wide open, spread offense or 4-3 Jimmy Johnson defense."
Says top things recruits he talks to are looking for: facilities, connection with their recruiter, energy, TV, most importantly are they winning and scheme.
*He mentioned Bama, WV, Texas, FSU in particular as having success down here right now: Cristobal getting who he wants in SFL; WV has 9 SFL commits; Strong has 3; FSU has 4 of the top players. Says GA has Deandre Baker, Shaquery Wilson and Juwan Taylor and that Miami didn't offer any of them. BTW's Callaway is a two man battle between Ice Harris and Randy Shannon.
*He also said, next year BTW, Central, STA and AH each have 20+ D1 players. There are more speed/skill D1 guys from PBC down than anywhere else in the Country. Per capita talent heaven.

So there you have it fwiw. Let the spin begin.
