BigWillie Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Bo is making it a point to dip back into the Lincoln HS talent pool. I'm sure a few of you remember the Tallahassee 5 from a few years back. Extremely talented groups of kids from the same HS (although they never amounted to squat, besides Darity) who Bo recruited while he was our DC. With Bo, we nearly landed every single one of them until it became obvious he was not returning as our coach. We held onto Danny Muy, who was already committed. Bo has a great relationship with their coach, so there is absolutely no one that will come from that school that we will not throw our hat into the ring with. Quote Link to comment
Axl_sued_me Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I wonder why Bobby Bowden didn't offer this kid? Quote Link to comment
Ohio Pete Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I wonder why Bobby Bowden didn't offer this kid? Scout has them with 4 Safety commits and in the hunt for 2 :star :star CBs and 2 :star :star CBs. Only so many scholarships to go around. Quote Link to comment
Ohio Pete Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 lets not get to excited to fast here.......on scout he is listed as a 2* with no offers from anyone. not saying that scout is correct but no offers, can they really be that far behind Not sure how Scout missed him.

Huskerballz Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Haha, I always find the term "florida speed' funny. What's that mean exactly? If you're born in Florida are you given a special certificate saying you are now part of the fastest state in the nation? What makes the kids in Florida faster? Intersting. Quote Link to comment

There is a lot of speed from that part of the country. I've heard of "florida speed" and I also hear "SEC speed" all the time. It's a speed conference. Quote Link to comment
Huskerballz Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Yeah? Thanks for clearing that up. Quote Link to comment

If you're born in Florida are you given a special certificate saying you are now part of the fastest state in the nation? What makes the kids in Florida faster? Intersting. It's about talent level. Practicing and playing against kids who are faster, stronger and bigger everyday makes kids work harder. They don't just roll over and decide they have talent. Most actually work their butts off in the weight room. Kids from places like Florida have gone up against unbelievable talent from a younger age. You can call it more about population density or whatever you like, but the 'Florida speed' is not some fallacy. It's pretty easy to notice that 'SEC' (southern) speed when you watch a guy with SEC and ACC players, then compare it to a B12. Quote Link to comment

Anyone remember when Darren McFadden got ran down from behind in the Arkansas Wisconsin bowl game? Yeah, I'm not buying it. Quote Link to comment

Can't remember what school it is in Florida... but ESPN did a story on them a while back. They chase rabbits through fields and try and catch them... apparently it does help with their speed and agility. Kinda weird if ya ask me, but whatever. Welcome aboard, Mr. Byrd.
