This video looks like maybe it was done at the beginning of the Under Armour week. Since that time he has been recruited hard by UF commits. Also, Shannon coached his father and has known Jones since he was a kid. Shannon's promotion to DC was very much a positive in his recruitment. We are battling FSU on this one it seems and they get the last visit.

Well spoken young man. Really would like to land him. Depth w quality kids that force on the field competition is key. When we have quality depth these "nagging" injuries heal quicker when there is someone there to take your place!

I'd like to think Shannon's relationship and new title as DC would be enough, but I'm just afraid that on that last visit to Tallahassee he'll get more p***y than Frank Sinatra and the deal will be cut. Hope I'm wrong. We could use some LB's, obviously.

Didn't Shannon have a relationship with Jamal Adams too, that didn't work for us too well

So, you think we start late as usual and finish second?

We have been recruiting him for a while so I don't think we will start late... come in second... who knows.

I thought Texas A&M was in the mix for him also which is my biggest fear since he is from here in Austin.

I saw him play earlier this year and the kid can play. He will be a good one and I really hope we get him!

A&M was the favorite for a long time, but I think he said he wanted to leave the state, so that helps and explains why A&M has been dropping. I think if we can build some momentum in the class he'll hop on board. We should have the parents on our side with the relationship between Shannon and his father. I haven't really heard anything about the parental influence. Too much and they may push him to stay near home, too little and he may go to FSU because kids buy BS. I think he'd be ours if we could close. The fact that Shannon is the primary recruiter helps, but we need to build a class prior to his FSU visit. It'd help if we could get a couple kids to pop next weekend when he visits.

Levi Jones comments on Shannon promotion.
Linebacker Levi Jones-“I like the hire, he deserves it.”
Jones also said this during the Under Armour week when asked about Shannon getting the job. “It would be awesome if he got the defensive coordinator position and it would help for sure because it would show that he’s in a secure spot.”

He also alluded to the fact that if he gets injured and can't play, he wants to be in a good academic situation.
He seems like a smart young man... Can't imagine him thinking a degree in Circus Studies :nole: would be of any benefit.

A degree in sports management, sociology or community studies isn't much different at UF than FSU. The education is filler talk from coaches and players. Outside of STEM degrees of course that's where UF destroys FSU.
