Recruiting 2025 Recruiting Thread- 4* OL (Top 150) Peyton Joseph decommits

[Joegator96]

It's definitely a reach. You're hoping for a situation like Condon over on the basketball team. That's a kid that played Australian rules football until he got too tall, and made a very late switch to basketball. He's definitely been a surprise as to how much he's been able to contribute. You could contrast that with a similar guy on the football team in Kamryn Waites who got a little too heavy to be a basketball player and made a late switch to football. Billy took him as a project at Louisiana (where there's a lot more room for projects) and while he's seen the field I'd say the results have been underwhelming.

I get it, BUT KW plays! He has two more years and it's clear he is not going back to the portal. I believe he will contribute a lot to the OL this season and might be a starter next season. He is worth the "reach".

Beginning in the 22/23 athletic year they started increasing their recruiting expenses for football.

How much more money did Florida athletics put into recruiting last school year?

UF athletics boosted its overall recruiting spending by more than $1 million according to its 2023 NCAA Financial Report

UF athletics boosts recruiting spending​

The Gators made a significant investment in recruiting for all sports in 2022-23, spending $4,563,927, compared to $2,966,896 the year before.

The biggest beneficiary was football, which increased its recruiting spending by 78 percent, from $1,641,320 to $2,892,538.

Florida also spent more in men's basketball recruiting ($329,395 to $389,749) and women's basketball recruiting ($220,427 to $293,837).

UF is hopeful that the boost in recruiting spending will result in better results in the standings. In men's basketball, Florida has already won five more games in 2023-24 than it did in 2022-23 and is on the verge of reaching the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2021.

That 78% increase didn't seem to help with the 24 class.

It might have if Tater had not fumbled three games away.

Ok. I have a dog named Tater and he is getting mad at the reference.

UF is only spending 90K more on men's basketball recruiting than women's?

The UAA is awful. They’re the biggest issue with our performance over the last 15 years.

Only 2 decades too late.

He is probably too dumb to be offended.

All the best coaches try to sit on that insurmountable 12 point lead.

Because "analytics."

Dogs (canines) may be smarter than you think.

Well for the record, dogs are much much smarter than donkeys.

Women's basketball loses tons of money. Tons. The UF recruiting budget for that sport should be somewhere between 8 and 15 bucks.

I mean seriously, nearly 300K? On WHAT? Scouting lowly high school girls basketball games for the next girl with a 1.5" vertical? It's beyond belief.

I would guess. in order to be "fair".

I’ve never seen the media push so hard for a sport like they do for women’s college basketball. Well, other than the women’s national soccer team. I’ll bet they’ve gained dozens of fans with that multimillion dollar marketing campaign.

For his mental well-being, you might want to let your dog Tater choose a new name. Cuz the beatings will not stop until morale improves.

("The dog formerly known as Tater" would not be a good choice.)

 

[Swamp Donkey]

their QB went to play for the other clown at Mizzou.

The clown at Mizzu was undefeated vs our clown in the Sunbelt and is 1-1 vs Cajun Taggart at Mizzu.

What does that make our clown exactly?
