Bill Buchalter's list updated Top Florida 100

[Papa_Bull]

nah, its good how it is... this shows who we actually have a shot to land.

It's a good thing I didn't add Rod Owens as Bill Buchalter just reported that he gave a verbal to FSU.

Velcro...You can scratch him off OUR recruiting board list:

FSU gets commitment

Jacksonville Wolfson WR Rod Owens (6-1/185), No. 24 on the Sentinel's list of the state's top 100, committed to FSU.

Buchalter's got a decent list, but it's so darn skewed to central, and west FL that it's hardly a good exclusive list to rely on.

I do like where they have Grothe, and anyone that watched Grothe and Beck play Armwood knows exactly who the best QB is in the state.  I mean come on Hayes, Rice, Warr, Deschappell, Turner, Hodges, Tabasky, Taylor, Hicks, and a few others are solid athletes, but top 100?  

He puts CJ Walker, central FL RB, in the top 20, and ahead of Mike Ford- no way, no way.  I've seen both, Walker's got scat back with moves, solid, but Ford could be one of the best in the SE.

Still a decent list, no list is inclusive, and 100% accurate.

There are a few that you didn't highlight with grumblings of USF interest, however, generally they're long-shots and not worth highlighting at this point.  On that list, I am expecting us signing about 12.

i think the oddest thing on the list was Gordon and Phillips being around 50...  I know rivals bla bla bla, but they have him listed as the #4 TE in the COUNTRY... and Phillips is a 4 star guy...  and Eddie Haupt at #10??   like Bien said VERY VERY skewed towards central FL talent

Here for comparison is the post season Rival Florida Top 100. I only listed those players who seem to be still interested in USF.
