Why can we never get any talent out of IMG Academy in Bradenton? They had three 5* guys! 2 went to Bama and 1 to uga. Last year they had 3 of the top 40 recruits and wen to OK, OSU & Clemson. I can see losing guys to Miami or f$u and the occasional loss out of state, but why can't we keep the majority of these kids in state?
Because f$u pumpers at IMG steer the kids away from UF. Also, some of those kids are from outside the state.
As I understand it, IMG is a sports prep school that draw skids from all over the country. They're a national football talent mill, so many of the kids aren't "local" in the way Lakeland kids are.
Or, IMG has better football facilities than UF? These kids go to IMG to get a jump on what college training entails while still in HS. What makes you think those athletes that gravitated towards the most elite performance training high school in the country are going to agree to train and live in lesser conditions at the college level?
