I am glad to see some S. FL kids get recruited - but only if they are good enough. IF we wanna be a Nationally ranked program we have to recruit NATIONALLY. I think we should always be able to get a great OL with S. FL as the draw, and now winning under Lane!Posted On: Jun 15th 2018, 8:54 AM #378853
Agreed – but we have to make sure to have pipelines to SoFla schools. Even if a kid isn't highly rated, having good relationships with a hs can play major dividends when you take on their kids. Have to take advantage of the SoFla recruiting ground. I wouldn't worry too much about the ratings on these 3s – all that will get updated throughout the year.

I see they are the top rated Palm Beach County tam so that is good - we gotta start getting more St. Thomas recruits, heck their HC was a Coach here!Posted On: Jun 15th 2018, 3:55 PM #378855
Yup, Gio has already been updated to a 3*. Staff knows talent and glad they are making the connections at Oxbridge. I remember we lost a kid in Kiffin's first class from there that ended up in UCONN.
