Florida Recruits

It's find the best talent to compete in the B1G.
I guess you don't think players like Grant are important to RU. Everyone was gushing over his announcement 6 days ago.

The last HC actually kept open or slightly widened the Florida pipeline.
Shane Burnham is from Florida. Don't know if he recruited Florida in his previous stops. Agree that RU is leaving a lot on the table if they are not recruiting Florida.

Either Ash thinks Florida players are terrible, and can't cut it on the field, or he is putting his time and effort into areas/players the staff has ties to, and can recruit most efficiently.
I'm sure one of these conjectures is close to the truth, for the life of me can't put my finger on the right one.

RB Sneed ( most likely our starter in 2018 after Hicks and Martin leave) is from FL and was the #40 ranked RB recruit nationally by Scout and #32 by 24/7.
I don't trust a commit from a Florida kid. Too much babysitting those kids to get a signature. If they are any good UM, UF, or FSU will swoop in last minute and take them.

Not a good example, he was a Flood recruit who committed before Ash was hired (before the summer actually) and he stuck with the program when Ash was scrambling to keep the class together.
Has nothing to do with that.
He wants to build a program w jersey kids that will then allow the kids and relationships to do future recruiting.
There are very talented florida (and Georgia) kids that would want to play here that aren't being recruited.
Wasn't assistant coach Aaron Henry who left for NC State the Florida point of contact? Maybe the lack of FL recruiting is why there wasn't too much handwringing when he split.
Mike Epstein of St. Thomas Aquinas. He is visiting next wee. Trying to flip him from Illinois.
That's the one! He looks pretty good. Hope we do flip him. Thanks
His primary recruiter from Illinois says Ryan Cubit.
Indiana just offered. He has a nice offer list.
No, but it seems to me that this program has had success with the "under the radar" Florida kids. In other words, if we have to take a lot of 2 star prospects, I would rather have them from Florida than NJ or NY. (Tim Brown would be a good example.)
Looks that way.
Randall Haynie and Michael Nesbitt were two other Henry Florida targets.
Other Florida contacts:
Jordan Pouncey is listed as a target with Shane Burnham as the contact.
Deon Pate (Appalachian State) is another Burnham contact.
Same for Darrian McNeal (Oregon), DeCalon Brooks (FSU).
Plenty of speed in this class so far. Would be nice to get that pipeline going again, don't get me wrong, but for now this staff's strength's aren't down there. Hopefully coach #10 helps that out a bit!
Charlie Partridge, come on down! (but what would his title be?)
Since the GS days, I've thought RU's head coach should take a hard close look at Florida when a vacancy opens on his staff. I'm sure there are competent hs coaches and college personnel looking to move up the ranks. Sure, Fl is larger than NJ and has more major football programs, but there are FL looking to experience another area of the country, and RU now has the B1G along with the metro market to sell recruits.
here you go...enjoy :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
We have a new coaching staff that came in a year ago with almost no ties to New Jersey. They needed time to get a good handle on recruiting here. Boggles my mind that people are complaining about Florida recruiting already.
seems a lot easier..we've only had 3 decommits and we didnt seem to care all that much in regards to taylor. that number is pretty low especially considering a 2 win season
