I am not sure I follow what you’re saying. Are you saying we haven’t landed any blue chip recruits from the state of Florida?Have we landed any blue chip from Florida that worked out. I'll wait

Ehhh. I'd disagree with those days being long gone. Here, yes absolutely. However building depth and a solid rotation is more a symptom of kids having respect for their teammates,captains and coaches. A kid will generally stay and fight for something he loves and respects. You notice the transfer markets are generally flooded by the same schools or the kids trying to prove they're not system players. If a kid doesn't trust in the staff and the system he's gonna clear it at the first sign of adversity. That's just human nature and the fight to survive. It's gonna get worse before it gets better. Alot worseI still recall Rod Mack being among the first Butch recruits, starting early on Then got passed up by better guys. But still played a valuable back-up/rotation role and special teams. That's the way it should be
But I really think those days are loooong gone for most programs now

Gurvan in the right system would have a pretty good shot. He needs to play in the boxDo Hall and Jennings know they have no shot at the nfl?
That has been worth a ...... G hall, Lingard, etc etc. A. Williams seems legit but that's really it.I am not sure I follow what you’re saying. Are you saying we haven’t landed any blue chip recruits from the state of Florida?
@Poopscoop ....I can't lie...When I saw him in HS....I honestly thought he was gonna Ball...same for Frierson...Seemed like all they did was make play after play, and against stout competition no less.Gurvan in the right system would have a pretty good shot. He needs to play in the box
I’m at the point. I have to see kids fail in another system to really put the blame on them. All I have seen is kids on defense regress after year 1.@Poopscoop ....I can't lie...When I saw him in HS....I honestly thought he was gonna Ball...same for Frierson...Seemed like all they did was make play after play, and against stout competition no less.
What system? He doesn't really excel at anything you want a safety to do.Gurvan in the right system would have a pretty good shot. He needs to play in the box
The 2021 class currently playing and I guess Nesta.That has been worth a ...... G hall, Lingard, etc etc. A. Williams seems legit but that's really it.
Eh, no more than the dozens of other 4/5 stars that flamed out here.Does Gurvan Hall go down as one of the biggest disappointments we have had in some time?
Literally.Eh, no more than the dozens of other 4/5 stars that flamed out here.
I’d argue Donaldson is a bigger bust.
Literally.
I hope so Bro. But Ive been waiting for over 15yrs. But I'm optimistic with you about the 2021 groupThe 2021 class currently playing and I guess Nesta.
This culture of playing older players over better players was a culture Manny created. He couldn't stick to it with his job on the line.Is the culture changing? Are we becoming a serious football team?
