Florida recruits

[22 HORN]

With Miami, FSU, and Florida so close and strong...how does Strong get these kids to commit? Seems unlikely / unusual,

What effect will this have on future recruits from Texas? Maybe, it will cause them to rethink their loyalty?

Early play time a factor?

Early playing time is always a selling point, but Charlie gets these players primarily because of one thing. Trust. He does things in a certain way, says he is going to do it that way, and follows through exactly as he promises. It is known in Florida because he took players to UL and did it just like he promised. They also see that he has spherical bodily objects made of steel to take the blame, be patient, and do it his way at Texas too. They know they have nothing to worry. It helps when even Uncle Luke Campbell is tweeting at Florida kids that they should go play for Charlie. There are a lot of people who are big Charlie believers around the country and especially in Florida, unlike we see among the doubting-Thomas Texas fans.

Glad you affirmed my thinking!
Good things will start happening to this teams production when we get talented / loyal / high character / passionate kids that want to 'be more like Charlie'....it is close!

Future Texas high school athletes are not going to shun UT because some of the players on the team came from Florida. In fact, I think it will make them more motivated to secure their slot if they know Charlie can go out and bring in the best players from anywhere and space is limited. They care about winning, trust and getting developed to play at the next level. Mack was consistent with offering two out if the three for the most part, until the last few years when the win/loss column plummeted. With the third, some guys got to the NFL in spite of Mack because of their superior talent. I think Charlie is offering all three, but we'll have to wait and see on that one.

I read that BON article on the Florida 5 pipeline. Really good read.

This has to be a shrewd plan by CS to keep his name in front of the football stars in that state. His
momentum there is now building even more. This is more than a simple story. It is a saga that has
a chance to build in future recruiting.

No issues as long as he/they can back it up on the field.

Interesting how Coach Strong promoted the players taking ownership, and expressed that in several ways during the season. Now it's interesting how this Florida group, primarily around Cecil Cherry, has been doing just that via social media and attitude. Albeit the art work is not by them but they are absorbing it and buying into it and taking it up, so to speak.

One of these images should wrankle a certain school not far from 40 Acres. Ohio State may have a thought about it, too. For now, the to-be-recruits are leading the fan base and setting the tone.

Imagine a spirited competition between the DBs and LBs !!!!

These were retweeted by Cecil Cherry.

The University didn't have to change conferences to stir things up.

We're Texas!

Hey, if they bring some of that "U" mentality and keep it on the field, then I for one welcome our Florida overlords.
