Donate to the IPF so we can start funding the OCS next.

Discuss the merits of petitions. And argue over Firecharliestrong.com.

We can discuss several of the local HS coaches (Pinellas and Hillsborough) dragging our program over not talking to them and recruits going elsewhere again.  DIdn't realize it until I saw the tweets randomly but of the 19 that signed only 1 each were from Pinellas and Hillsborough.  We had 3 come in from Georgia...so we had more from out of state than we did from the Bay Area which wasn't a good look per these coaches.

I hadn't looked myself.  That is staggering.  Seems Willie wanted to own the Bay and Charlie wants to avoid it?

1) where the program would be if we hadn’t wrongfully terminates CJL

2) how the AAC has been an anchor that has dragged us to the darkest abyss of college football 

3) conference expansion and how we are not a package deal with UCF and how associating with them has been to our detriment 

4) how we should have more feasibility studies 

5) what are our strengths that we should calmly play to

Before you say “avoid it” I would want to know how many did he go after? Did these players choose other schools? I seem to remember dozens of pics showing recruits in the south Florida area with our assistant coaches. A more likely issue is that he can’t close the deal.

Thought we brought him here because of how well he recruits FL.  I guess the Bay area wasn't singled out.

CCS is highly overrated all the way around.  As a HC  a DC and as a recruiter

Paid no attention either as those numbers the last few years had increased and so I thought nothing of us not hitting the area hard. Local coach here in Riverview went after him on Twitter a day or two ago for not building a relationship. 

It’d be interesting to know how much they did recruit local and if the kids did just choose elsewhere or if we had some strange assumption that we could pick and choose now.

Tons of the kids are from south Florida. The issue the coaches had was how few were truly local of this 19 - just two.

Possibly more in the Feb part of the class but 10% of the class being “Bay Made” doesn’t look good in the short term
