The best in the area. I know a lot about him. His coach, who was a big time LB  "back in the day" said he is the best cover MLB he has coached. Good day for Coach Roc.

Really nice to see FAU getting a couple great PB County kids. Brown and Ferguson will make great additions to the team. I am particularly happy that FAU FINALLY tapped into one of South Florida's biggest producers of D-1 talent. Atlantic HS. It took a while for the Chad Ward hurt to go away. The new HC there only wants to see his kids succeed. No grudges.

Good stuff!

To me, this is the kind of stuff I value. To hear from someone who has actually seen the kid play and has some knowledge of the situation instead of a guy working from home in Missouri deciding the guy is 2 stars.

Welcome Chanler, good choice!

Good to see the us get an Atlantic recruit and the bridge isn't burnt

Now we need a deep threat WR

This isn't  the NFL draft where someone would think "hey we didn't have deep threat last year so lets go get one''
With recruiting the projections of what type of player they will be are farther down the line.
We have 1 WR entering his senior year next year and I do not think he is a scholarship  player.
It is very unlikely we take another WR when we seemed to be stacked at WR and 2 more coming this year.

I agree.  You have to look 2-3 years in the future when it comes to recruiting.
