Re: 2015 recruits/commitment thread

Its truly amazing the level of talent and athletic football players that the state of Florida has. Just looking at this kid, he is the 61st best player in Florida and he's still a 4**** athlete. Damn that is a lot of talent to chose from. This is the one thing that worries me about RR to Florida. L...

You were able to deduce the that the writer had a favorable opinion of the cactus, right? Ever hear of RGB?

It's going to be harder and harder to play the "no respect" card given the positive attention the program is deservedly receiving. Time to step up our game!
