A long time ago, in a county far far away...
Tom McEwen at the Tampa Tribune would publish on Christmas Day a list of top recruits. His method: those being strongly recruited by UF, FSU and Miami were “Blue Chips” and those being recruited by 2 of the 3 were “Red Chips”.
That’s where all this recruiting buzz started for me. I began at UF in January 1980 about the time GatorBait began. It took off from there.
