FIRST off - last year was his only solid receuiting year and it wasn’t worth crap a week before NSD. They completely pulled a rabbit out of a hat.
This year’s class looks awesome but it’s still not signed. But how about this: ZERO Top 20 State of Florida kids in this upcoming class.
Here is some info regarding the historical recruiting against our rivals and why keeping him would further castrate our program.

- In the state of Florida, the Gators struggled under McElwain. Including IMG Academy prospects, McElwain signed only two Top 20 players in the state in 2017 (
Zachary Carter
and Robinson) and zero in the Top 10. In 2016, Florida signed only two in the Top 20 again, with both being in the Top 10 (
Chauncey Gardner
,
Feleipe Franks
). By comparison, in 2017 Florida State signed five in the top 20, and in 2016 the Seminoles signed four in the Top 20. Miami signed more Top 20 players, as well in 2016. And so far in 2018, Miami and FSU have seven Top 20 players from the state of Florida commit, while the Gators have none. And in-state players like
