Thank you for confirming. I remember Michael, and the names, faces, etc. are nearly identical.

I just couldn't find any info on where Michael lives now, but if he's in Hampton, then it's a match. It's weird because Michai's 247 profile says "Hampton" for city and "Creekside" for high school, and Creekside High is in Fairburn. I live about 5 miles north of Creekside High, which is in Fulton County, but Hampton is a good bit farther south in Henry County.

I'd be interested to know why Michai wasn't really on our radar, as we are obviously recruiting in ATL and the kid is a UM legacy. I think Michael went in the 2nd round to the Vikings, correct?

Strange. Maybe the family has Wilson-level beef with UM...

Yup maybe Creekside is hoarding some talent i think he transferred there though..look like he was at Lovejoy previously.

Yea thats how i figured it out...i thought they looked alike as well.

Boireau went high in the 2nd rd....i remember as a kid liking him because i though he had a cool name..i wa sin elemenetary school then lol.

I would think we would get a visit atleast.

So I’ve been thinking about this a lot. Do we realize how fortunate we are here? This recent blip of success has absolutely emboldened Florida fans. I’m sure we all know some. How confident are they right now with this recent run of success? This sets us up so nicely. I mean, Mario cristobal is KNOWN for recruiting. He’s gonna get his and he’s gonna hold on to them. Billy napier has absolutely nothing to sell. And when the season starts, both of those coaches have to show some improvement. So that means Florida has to win at least seven games next year to show improvement and to prove they’re heading the right direction. Meanwhile, Miami has to win six games to show improvement. And we have overhauled our offensive line, switched our offensive system, hired a possibly innovative defensive coordinator. They have made no sweeping changes like that. So of the two teams, looking at their schedule, would you put money on Miami to win 6 or more games, or would you place that money on Florida to win 7 or more games? This fall is going to be so glorious for the tears

Why??? He’s like 400 pounds. I don’t think that fits what we’re doing

A few things that are sticking out to me.... aside from Hayes who else are we actively going head to head against them for? Last year Mario was toying with UF, beating them multiple times head to head. It does not appear Billy is making good on his "footprint" promise and I wonder if that is because he would rather allocate resources to guys outside of the footprint we are not after.

Lagway was brought to the board over a year ago and the poster who did said we werent really on him like that and he did not know way. I have not seen us connected to Filsaime, the texas safety, Hayes we are after, but Myles Graham (LB, GA); Waller (Edge MS), Chiles (LB, MD) Williams (DL, NC); Williams (WR, Tampa) are all guys I really knew nothing about and typically they will be on our board. Amir Jackson I know we were on at one point but unsure if we had Lofton higher.

Next, both UF and UM are going into year 2 with new HC. We seem to have flipped the roster in a good way and should show growth, Billy is convincing the fans this is still a major rebuild and they are buying it. So was Miami in a better position 3 years ago and Manny left Mario more than Mullen left Billy? So UF's rebuild therefore will take longer? Or UF was in a better position and Mario is starting to lap them while UF slips?

I think UF is getting lapped. It's not a full lap, but we're at least a quarter of the way in front.

I say that because of our offensive line recruiting. We have a superior offensive line room to theirs. Mario told us that championships start in the trenches. The Gators have a nice DL class if they can hold it, but if we hit on half of our DL targets, we beat them again. Their current OL roster and 2024 class are mostly reaches at best. Billy took both of his OTs from Louisiana in the portal when he took the job. They were his best OL recruits. one is in the NFL and the other is senior.

I expect Florida to have a dreadful year offensively. Perhaps something like what we had last year because they don't have the talent or depth on the OL and their QBs are non athletic mediocre at best. They are going to get crushed on offense!!!!

I always have to think about Dave Chappelle talking to his son during his "3 Daves sketch" when Florida fans glorify Napier.

Anyone with a brain: "Who? Who's Napier?"

Son/Delusional Gator: Daddy, Napier is hilarious.

Anyone: Well **** you, son.

It's just hilarious that in a matter of a week UF fans have flipped and now G5 Billy is the best coach and recruiter out there.

I'll give it to Napier for changing the narrative, but the collapse at the end season on the field and recruiting will be colossal.

But but but, he can lose the weight so easily! He's already down 20 pounds (self-reported)...

He just needs to walk to Miami...

Look, I'm gonna keep it real, with all the success Florida has had with Desmond Fatson's weight, I'm not so sure that Hogtown is the right spot for Boireau.

Well, it is called Hogtown.

I love that they think billy is stuffing Mario in a locker. Who have they really beat us for head to head?

Haven’t beaten us for anyone until ink meets paper… maybe 1 person the TE but if we land Odom look out for their reaction of “our guy is better isn’t scared of the SEC blah blah”

Also I have a feeling a lot of these kids got some upfront $$ to commit now and they’re trying hard to not let them visit anywhere else because they blew their load to try and gain some momentum. They still haven’t gotten Lagway any help it’s mostly been defensive guys
