re: Wardell Mack commits to Florida

Stamps going to be a stud. LSU finds DBs as good as anyone and they grow on trees in Louisiana which is severely under scouted.

Exactly, they’re going to get their arse beat by Utah too. Their recruits will jump ship.

Florida went 6-7 last year, yet they have the #3 class in the country right now across multiple recruiting services.

It's pretty clear the kids committing there don't care about on the field performance.

C’s, agreed.

This is Billy’s bump year at Florida. He has put together a good recruiting staff and Billy is a really good recruiter. This class is the first full cycle class his staff has had time to evaluate and build relationships with. It’s clear the class is bought into their ability to make an impact and play early as Florida’s roster has had to be turned over. This class has a path to early playing time.

Nothing matters till Dec, unfortunately that is true of our commits as well.

Let's see how many stick by the time signing period starts. They don't care about performance right now because you haven't performed for them to see yet. While the money might be on the table they're being promised a turn around and early PT. If your team ends up doing the same thing if not worse than last year they'll immediately bail because they'll get similar money elsewhere and don't have to worry about who their next HC will be their first year at the program. Less questions about development at that point.

You have to perform in order to sell and I highly doubt Florida is going to perform this year. If they do it will be the biggest surprise in SEC. They may glowing at the money on the table and that early PT opportunity buying into Sunbelt Billy is rebuilding something special but he's going to have to prove that to keep the commits he currently has.

I think lsu will be fine at cb

He's talented no doubt but the position of need thing is dumb. Whether at safety or corner, LSU has elite players committed to this class. It's not like they missed on McKinley here.

There's a lot of folks thinking OU or Texas or even OSU before LSU

Go ahead and chalk up those silent “commits”, they always work out well. You are talking to the wrong fan base if you’re trying to count those chickens.

Fair enough. I just feel comfortable with this one because it was obvious he has been trending our way for so long and the staff likes to do the silent commit deal so they can strategically release the public announcement later. Black has been all Texas for a long time.
