Competitor National Recruiting Director Adam Gorney and National Recruitment Analysts John Garcia Jr.along with Patrick Burnham From TheOsceola.com and Jason Higdon Members of 1standTenFlorida.com discuss three topics and determine whether they believe each statement is fact or fiction.
Gorney’s take: Facts. I’m not sure Solomon Thomas will eventually flip, but there’s definitely something Florida should be worried about.The Gators play in the SEC and they brought in Jonathan DeCosterWith experience in an NFL offense, if he ends up in Gainesville, his family will be an hour or so closer to him.Florida State isn’t that far away, but these are some considerations in making this decision, although if the coach McNorwell and offensive line coach. Alex Atkins As expected staying with the Seminoles may be tougher than some think.
Higdon’s take: Fact. The real question should be, why isn’t Florida worried about him transferring to Florida State?Thomas will officially visit coach Billy Napier and the Gators on June 7. Will Thomas take the Florida State visit? I have a hard time believing he would flip before giving the Seminoles one last chance to impress him and his family. Regardless, Thomas has a “real” chance of transferring from Florida State — and his actions and visit to Florida State tell us all we need to know. The best-case scenario for Florida State is to worry about Thomas flipping and hoping it doesn’t happen.
Gorney’s Perspective: A Novel. If Jones is convinced that DJ Lagerway is the future of Florida State for the next three years, then I have a hard time believing that the four-star quarterback will be waiting behind him, especially as Florida State’s quarterback situation becomes even more uncertain The next few years.
There could be intrigue in Gainesville, especially if some teammates or 7-on-7 friends end up joining the Gators — that’s not certain yet — but I just don’t think that’s going to happen. If for some reason Trammell Jones thinks he can beat out Lagerway, or the five-star freshman has a bad season and Jones sees an opportunity, maybe it’s possible, but I don’t think so right now A flip will be predicted.
Burnham’s Point of View: The Novel. There’s always concern when you have a quarterback who’s committed to your program and has visited your biggest in-state rival multiple times. However, at this point, I wouldn’t say there’s reason to be highly concerned or really concerned. There are several reasons for this.
First, Florida appears to be pinning its near-term hopes on DJ Lagway, while Florida’s long-term future after the 2024 season is less certain with either Brock Glenn or Luke Kromenhoek (Luke Kromenhoek) will be the heir apparent at quarterback. Therefore, Jones has the best chance to play early in his career at Florida State.
Second, I recently asked someone very familiar with Jones’ recruiting situation how concerned he was about Jones leaving for the Gators on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being not concerned and 10 being imminent, and he said there were three concerns about his level of play. point.
Third, I also spoke with another source who said one of the reasons Florida was interested in Jones was that he was a high school teammate of Jaime French and Hilton Stubbs, as well as French And 7-on-7 teammates with Vernell Brown, as well as a few other prospects close to the Gators’ radar. Some of those prospects may want to go to the same school together, which could lead to Florida ultimately trying to flip and sign Jones.
Additionally, Florida State has two quarterbacks scheduled to take official visits this summer, but Jones is not one of them. Florida State is also very committed to Jones, and while they may be talking to other quarterbacks, either because they’re worried about his commitment or because they have someone who’s as promising or better than Jones, they’ve been They are very low-key in how they deal with these potential customers.
Gorney’s take: Facts. In some recruiting cycles, we had a pretty clear idea of how we wanted to draft a five-star quarterback: We took Trevor Lawrence over Justin Fields. We prefer Bryce Young to DJ Uiagalelei. Dylan Raiola and Julian Sayin were very close last recruiting cycle. This cycle is very close now as Julian Lewis has been great for years and has the brilliance of a high first round pick in the future. Bryce Underwood is nowhere near as polished, but he has incredible physical gifts, so he shouldn’t be underestimated for the No. 1 spot overall. Is Underwood a thicker Jaden Daniels with the athleticism of Anthony Richardson? perhaps. This is worth considering first.
Garcia’s Take: A Novel. Even though Underwood has excelled at every position this spring, the jury should still be out on this all-important fight. The case for Underwood is obvious, as he’s 6-foot-4, over 200 pounds and has the natural arm talent to shoot anywhere and anytime on the court. He also impressed with his maturity and ability to make second and third reads during OT7, minimizing any expected “holes” in the game. Still, this measure remains Lewis’s best attribute. He remains more efficient and poised at a younger age. As Lewis’ size is mentioned less and less, the USC commit’s most questionable attributes are minimized.Last month, before heading towards quarterback MVP honors Rival Training Camp Series In Atlanta, the rising senior stands over 6 feet tall and weighs nearly 190 pounds. Each five-star quarterback has a lot to stand on, and each answered long-standing questions, so let the debate continue between the two best quarterbacks in the country.
