If you have the type of personality where you get worked up and cant stay light….dont follow recruiting.
Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

Recruiting is entertainment, just dont take it too seriously until after they have signed the LOI…everything up to that point is literally like those magazines in your grocers aisle.

I would say you need to wait beyond the LOI…you need to wait until they are on campus AND contributing on the field…Austin Bland anyone?

Whatever happened to Austin Bland? he was a 3 star recruit from St Thomas Aquinas… Haven't heard much about him. All the articles I've read don't even mention the kid. I know he's still in the roster, will he be getting playing time this year?

Yeah he redshirted in 2013 so there wouldn't have been too much out there about him yet.
I'm sure he'll be in the mix this year.

My point is he hasn't done anything yet…and there was hyper activity about his recruiting. Doesn't mean he won't be a significant contributor in the future, but he has red shirted and was not even mentioned in the spring. Reggie Bain…true freshman getting a lot of hype may even contribute as a true freshmen. I like to see them get on campus and contribute before I get excited about some player. Recruiting hype is a joke.

Here's your entertainment for the day: Rodrick Archer has removed the "FAU COMMIT" from his Twitter bio. He's wearing a Cincinnati hat in his profile picture and his cover picture shows him at USF.

Hell, Archer's Twitter picture is even this…
…
It may all be a smokescreen, or maybe he was moreso excited about playing together with his cousin at the same school, but every man has to stand on his own eventually.Posted On: Jul 11th 2014, 1:21 AM #332497
His pic was with the Owl gloves on, now it is a selfie standing in front of a toilet bowl and his banner is him putting up Bull horns in a USF locker room…

The good news is that we are finding out about these guys a year in advance and have plenty of time to go after others.
Many of the big boy programs lose and steal each others recruits and do not know until signing day.
I don't really think these kids who are all about "the show" and attention are necessarily great fits for where we are as a program any way. There are plenty of kids who want to be here and are willing to work their butts off.

That would be the classy thing to do.
That would be the unexpected response for them.
They would remember that.
Who knows? Things change quickly and there are still many light bulbs to turn on in the mind of a 17 year old.
