This loss and how it affects our football program (recruits, juniors going pro, etc)

[cedarkey_gator1]

As far as juniors going pro, their stock took a huge hit with the pathetic performance last night. Undisciplined, missed assignments, no pass coverage to speak of, an offensive line that appeared to have spent the previous night on Bourbon Street. Not the highlight film you want an NFL scout to see.

WOW, I'm an idiot now. NIce how fans come together after a game like this....in all kinds of weather, huh champ????????

The game was a one time experience this year. WM was right...we were outplayed and out coached and that's that!

Different recruits will change their minds based on different things. They are each different in motivation, commitment level, and maturity. That being said, when Utah beat Alabama, those recruits did not falter, for the most part. Sure, there may have been one or two recruits that changed their minds after that bowl game, but one or two recruits will always find a reason to change their minds.

I do not think this loss will have a major effect on recruiting. If a kid de-commits today based on this loss, then we do not want him anymore than we want a kid that commits based on one bowl win. We want kids that are all in and committed to the Florida Way.
