The dirty world of S. Fla. recruiting - Chapter 5,120

[Don Caneleone]

Forgive me if this has been discussed previously. I haven't been paying that close to recruiting this year compared to years past. Any way, this is why Henderson and the Southridge boys are leaning to UF.

Southridge basketball coach John Herron hired at University of Florida | Miami Herald

Yep, Florida hired a basketball coach to assist them in football recruiting.

Known about this for a little while. Kids like him and I was told he would get kids to come on visits.

Now in regards to recruiting and commitments. I was told from a guy very close to JHova that anyone who UF wants bad from The Ridge this year, they will get. TIFWIW

So these football players are following a high school basketball coach - who isn't even going to be coaching a sport - to UF??? That's some strong sh-t right there.

They're following a guy who won't even be part of the football staff let alone coach them. Brilliant.

Call it what you want. Street agent.

Do any of these kids actually play basketball? This is hard to believe they are following a basketball coach from their hs.

 

[bolivar]

Do these kids not have parents to guide them? I'm just asking..

Seems like Henderson dad helped us because he must see the big picture . Gators have bigger targets at db and if he does go. They can't have 6 cbs .

We hired rumph

To COACH CBs. I guess we could hire every HS coach to some gofer position, but that kind of thing never seems to work for UM.

We hired rumph

Low energy, slow talking Rumph.

I'm not that excited about the Southridge kids honestly.

Scott, I'm shocked we're still recruiting him . He is to slow we need game changers . Would he ever see the field ?

Probably not. I'd say they cool on him when the bigger targets start to become more clear but right now.. Who else is there? Jeudy is like a 25% chance at best for us, Grimes isn't happening. Harley should be but he's not being considered. I don't see him getting pushed out until the recruiting picture becomes more clear in about November or December

Those guys came in like some lions and are coming out like lambs. They are proving to be a little overrated individually. (besides Dee Wiggins) As a team they should win the state title easily though.

Richt's on record saying he's going to honor all verbal commitments. Scott would have to decommit sensing that he wouldn't play in the future or have a change of heart, but get used to the reality that he's likely in this class.

 

[JHallCanes]

It's one thing trying to make a move on a class changing recruit.

Speaks more to desperation than strategy and those things rarely work out in the long run. Shrug.

Henderson plays at Columbus, not Southridge.
