This is hilarious. In the article on 247 sports (4-Star QB Jeff Sims has decommitted from Florida State) about the de-commit, it mentions that the new staff is now going after USF QB commit Tate Rodemaker. Ironically, Rodemaker does not list an offer from either Memphis or Auburn (where OC Dillingham came from).

He's got an offer from Memphis (they were late on him). He also just visited Pitt & NW and got an offer from Baylor. He's obviously been rated as a G5 type QB, but his numbers are solid: 71% completion, 43 TDs as a senior - plays at a HS powerhouse and his dad is the head coach.

I was going off of 247 since that's where the article was. I now see on Rivals it does show a Memphis offer.
As a Ga. resident, I am very familiar with Valdosta HS. And while they are supposedly the winningest HS program in the country, they have not been as dominant as they once were. Their state title in 2016 was the first since '98. In that same time their cross town rival (Lowndes Co has won 4 and is trying for another on Saturday (against UF commit Rashad Torrence's Marietta HS coincidentally).

They realign the district? Open new schools?

No idea on that one. Opposite end of the state from me. I do know that back in the 60's through the 90's they won something like 15 state titles playing in the highest or second highest classification. Quite the dominant program at one time. Among the alumni is Gator nemesis Buck Belue.

I just pictured IMG as a school that has just 4 star players as 2nd stringers.

My home town. Cost to attend per year, I believe, is about $85,000. Top athletes get a full ride and it graduates down. Of course in return they give IMG full future rights as their agent if they are successful.

@JohnMartin929: Source: Memphis DC Adam Fuller is leaving Memphis and following Mike Norvell to Florida State. Was a big part of the turnaround with the Memphis defense.
