It's a **** shame, but until we own the Coastal and show that we are shoulder to shoulder with Clemson that's how it's going to be for us. S. Fl is front-runner central. And I hope Diaz game plans for this much better than Richt. Richt was delusional thinking with his UGA success that he could get whoever he wanted. He locked in on his elite targets and fixated on them until they dropped us at the end and we are left scrambling for our 2nd and 3rd choices, but it was too late by then.
Diaz and Co. have to target the S. Fl elites no doubt but don't put blinders on putting all your stock in hoping these guys will sign. Sign up your Plan Bs so that your needs are addressed but hold a few slots open for the Plan As so that they are the cherry on the top. If they sign, great. If not, no worries because you've already addressed your needs.
Yeah, we've missed out on a lot of elite players, but we've also missed out on a lot of **** good Plan Bs by putting all our eggs in the Plan A basket.
