If this comes to fruition, this would be the very definition of "Florida recruits itself".
I've said before, while I wasn't initially a fan of the the portal, the three Fl schools are probably going to gain the most from it. Whether it's a player wanting to go somewhere different/warmer and a better program(Shorter, Grenard, King), or wanting to come back to their home state, it bodes well for whoever is trending at the time.
Part of me thinks this just keeps bailing out bad recruiting by certain ones(ahem, Knox). But there are plenty of other options for this kid as well. So if he chose to come here, it also means we did something right when initially recruiting him. At a minimum, we didn't completely botch it the first go around. We just didn't close.
