The latest piece from the Athletic if you are a subscriber is interesting. They have a roundtable with 2 talent evaluators one from Tampa the other from Miami and 10 high school coaches from across the state from Miami to Panhandle. Talk about a variety of topics from best recruiters in the state to best out-of-state schools at recruiting.

The Athletic article
Some of my takeaways:
- Interesting how two different coaches can have such different opinions which I assume is reflective of what programs are focusing in what areas. The Ft. Lauderdale coach said UF is non-existent in the area, while the Miami coach said UF was "attentive, thorough, and constant"
- Norvell seems to be making some positive impressions on high school coaches.
- UF seems to have dropped Jax and Panhandle reading between the lines of high school coaches comments
- T-Rob and actually Mullen seemed to be the most cited as best recruiters among state teams. Apparently Air Jordans make a huge impression.
- Depending upon area of state coaches think UCF is recruiting at P5 level (although do see that in results?). While others cite USF and FIU.
- Alabama has reached a whole different level at their ability to recruit, per coach from Miami "Alabama, their mentality is we can jump into the fray at any point and jump automatically to the top. And they usually do.".
