Not surprising after all the other Florida guys have left. Floribraska has been as bad as Calibraska.
Move on from Florida. Take 1 or 2 at best.
Focus on the radius and Juco. Jucos don't have time to transfer.

I don't give a crap about player ratings anymore!! We need guys with attitude and passion. If he doesn't want to be here, screw him let's move on.
You knew this was gonna happen. Glad it's over. Would have transferred anyways. Move on to somebody that wants to be here.
It suck but I’d rather have him decide now instead of signing and then transfer before spring ball
I think it’s a Florida thing because there it’s normal for kids to transfer high schools 2-3 times in 4 years. So for them it’s no big deal to get up and leave. I’d say we don’t abandon Florida but only bring in 1 or 2 per year. Recruiting 5-6 guys per class will leave us vulnerable to a mass exodus.
THIS guys is a guy opposing DCs are going to have scheme for. Fidone is going to be a stud.
Guy has a ton of upside but if he isn’t wanting to be here, more downside than upside. Need guys who desire to be here and will find ways to bring out the best in themselves and teammates.
Wish the young man well where he ends up unless he is lined up against the Huskers

God forbid we ever sign an impact pass rusher. The obvious chance of immediate playing time bust be quite a deterrent.
Gotta get them W’s. W’s attract talent.
2021 class still has a lot to like, and we could add a couple more impact guys still.
Just need to get our talent healthy, developed and on the field.

The UCF shine has come off Frost. Better find good players in the Midwest. We cannot have this Florida churn.
I don't think we ever really had him to begin with so this one doesn't hurt in my book. Great pass rush prospect from a talent rich Miami school, but the chances of getting him to sign and getting him to stay were very slim. Especially after the clown show his former high school teammates put on up here-- those guys thought that Nebraska football was so bad that all they would have to do is show up and they would immediately start (workouts & meetings would be optional).
Yes! At this point, I think our best bet is to let the current players and commits who are not "N" get the hell out of here and replace them with high character transfers who have already proven themselves at some level. I think even a standout FCS player would help us a lot more than bringing in more "4 stars" who want to play for the Big Red without having to put in any work.
This year Austin Allen has had 2nd most targets, completions, and yardage on the team. Fidone's probably chomping at the bit.
Until this virus runs its course and kids get to actually visit it will be harder to keep the ones from down South. The team is showing signs of life and if players that come here can see the campus and experience game day again then things will get better.
Interesting that he is going to FSU, a place that makes Nebraska's decline seem like a bed of roses. I didn't see this posted so here is the link on FSU falling off a cliff https://www.espn.com/college-footba...hole-6-year-unraveling-florida-state-football
One takeaway from that article and from what we have all seen, Florida has lots of good players but loads of overrated players many of whom have a false sense of entitlement. I've long felt that about California as well.

Everybody recruits Florida, even lesser programs like Louisville has made their foot print in Florida. So while there is talent, everybody recruits there. The high school scene is different in Florida, specially in Miami. The norm there is for kids to transfer 2-3 times during their high school careers. So kids are perfectly fine leaving for another program once they are in college.
We have 3 remaining Florida players on our roster and I believe they love Lincoln. Like Scott said, The staff just needs to do their due diligence if the kid is the right type of kid that would do well in Lincoln.
What goes through their minds? Do they think they are being overlooked unfairly and that their dreams of playing in NFL will never be realized at their current school? These kids are not getting good advice
