I’m not a fan of that part of FL for recruiting. They don’t produce the best. The only players I recall being worth a **** from that area r Ciatrick Fason back in the early 2000’s, & David Sharpe in like 2015 or so that had solid careers at UF. I don’t recall remotely anyone from St Augustine.
I mean think about it:
Lorenzo Lingard
Jarez Park
Jeremiah Payton
CeCe Jefferson
Jacques Patrick
Demorie Tate
Chantz Williams
DeMario Tolan
Aiden Mizzell
These r just off the top of my head as far as blue chips in the past 10 yrs, & I know I’m missing more from this area that were highly ranked & absolutely putrid at the next level. I won’t include CJ Baxter among that group since he blew up his knee in practice on a freak situation, & he showed promise as a true Frosh.
But yeah, I get skittish around that area for football. So I was all for him committing to UF, but now I’m just hoping this is not a stunt to soften the blow for some news in the next coming days a la like when we got Kennedy who we were “cool on” after we whiffed on all the DT prospects we thought we could pull.
