Freeman is a good DC, but born and raised in Ohio, and Cincy has only 3 players on the roster from Florida (none from S Fl). He likely isn't tied into the S Fl recruiting scene, especially coming from a G5 in Ohio. So recruiting would be a big question mark. And as impressive as Cincys numbers were, the only P5 they played was UGA, and they were giving up 7+ yards per play. Our experience with Blake Baker has taught me to be wary of hotshot G5 DCs.
Arnett would be coming from a SEC school and all those programs (except for Vandy probably) have tentacles all over Florida. I'd much rather land Arnett than Freeman because I don't think we would have to worry as much about the ability to recruit S Fl.
