One of the articles mentions that a few of the kids are flying under the radar and might be god catches. I hope FAU reads about them and at least checks them out.

Re: Treasure Coast recruiting?
For instance, I'm not surprised when some local high school coach is exasperated because he thinks he has a bunch of Division I players and hey, it's right in FAU's backyard so why aren't they all getting scholarships to FAU. Every year there are players that are "under the radar." Every year we hear about these people. It's unfortunate when these kids get left out, it really is, but it's not like the FAU coaches are bumbling in the dark here: they know their needs and what guys they want. And I'd rather us take the guys we're targeting rather than signing potentially less-talented players just because we need to build/maintain a pipeline to some schools. I just don't think that's the best way to do business at this point.
Also, taking a kid that has no other D-1 offers is a definite gamble. We do it occasionally, of course, but we're at the point now where we shouldn't have to. With the beautiful new stadium and the C-USA affiliation, we shouldn't be patting ourselves on the back for "stealing one" away from the Bethune-Cookmans of the world.

Austin Bland, Greg Hankerson and Robert Miller are all from Broward County. If they land Juste he is a Treasure Coast kid, and if Jakobi Smith commits he would be from Dade County.
I know I might catch some flack for saying this, but it's not like Palm Beach County has treated FAU well the past two years. Mikey Bullard didn't make grades last year along with Tremaine McCullough. Bam Howard committed early in the process this year and then had academic issues.
FAU was the first real school to go after Suncoast's Ke'Tryus Marks this year, but they can't help when Arkansas steps in with the full package.
I would have to say they have faired pretty well, especially with Keith Bryant set to visit this weekend. It's not like they can hand out an offer to every kid in the area simply because they play football close to FAU.
