Recruiting 2022 Recruiting Thread: Evers and CJ Smith Decommit

[Swamp Donkey]

Even over a top 150 kid from elsewhere, and certainly one from questionable competition outside of the southeast, I personally think we should just stick with the highest ranked or all-state type kids from Florida.

if there's an out-of-state five star or four plus WHO REALLY WANTS TO COME TO FLORIDA, ok. but if it's a four star kid from out of state versus a 4 - kid from florida, I take the in-state kid every time.

it is so ridiculous to watch us flirting with out-of-state 5 stars (who are never coming to Florida) for most of the recruiting cycle, while all the instate 4 stars go elsewhere then losing out to UCF for the leftovers that we ignored the whole year.

It's always important to maintain those relationships with the powerhouse high schools. Booby Bowden used to say you receuit their mamas. This is undoubtedly true. Doc Holliday from Urban staff used to say you recruit the high school coaches. He is correct too.

I am of two minds on this. I believe that standardized tests (in my day) were unfair to minorities. I have seen minorities who mastered quantum mechanics do badly on standardized tests. Still, we need standards. A better solution would be to fix the tests.

or how about the better solution is to keep the NCAA out of it since they don't feel the need to do it for most sports.

Why do I have a feeling our team would be all Asians when the admin refuses to lower the UF bar?

So, nobody with a real major or specialty?

I have no sympathy for the kids really. I remember when the principal at Glades Central threatened to cancel sports because it was interfering in helping kids read. Parents went ballistic. The parents and families are a huge issue here.

Because minorities are too stupid to pass the tests. Got it.

Ive known thousands of kids who played sports and all could read. not sure how cancelling sports helps.

You'd have to know the culture in the Glades.

The whole damn place is crazy. The kids are no different.

It's a standardized test. STANDARD. Study. Take practice tests. Hey I got an idea. Work hard.
Tests tend to measure your knowledge, your ability to think. If you can't pass them you're either stupid or lazy. I'm not a fan of either.

every town has a library. even in the jewish areas, where they thrive on second hand books.

Oh cry me a river. You don't need a tutor. Pay attention in 10th grade algebra. If you can't keep up maybe college isn't for you. Half the test is just being well read. Go to a library. You can buy a helluva a lot of coverless books for the price of a pair of Air Jordan's.
Stupid or lazy.
