Yup. I think this is just a case of the staff being satisfied with the personnel brought in at the LB position, I think we can use the scholarships toward next year's class, and Powell had a chance to be a part of this class before he decided to bounce. So, he can pack his bags and head out to LA.
Or we could be in for a massive signing day haul, which seems pretty unlikely. But you never know. I don't believe any reports I hear about "silent" commitments. But I think we pull off the Buster Douglas with a prospect or two. Maybe an unlikely prospect like Collins or Adams decides to pick us. You just don't know.

LOL WUT? Do you wonder if he will ever recruit another Dwyer kid? Clark & Christian didn't just decommit, they QUIT in mid-season.
My guess is our coach didn't like how the last visit went. No big loss, we're not going to see QP in the NFL in 4 years. I saw QP play last year more than this year. He didn't grow at all. His Jr year was big because opponents ran away from L. Williams. All QP did this year was pass rush off the end for sacks. He is too thin to be an SEC LB. He has never played LB and would have taken two years to get on the field at UF. No big deal losing him to Kiffin, UF just helped him make up his mind.

Why would I guess that when the staff was in Dwyer last week? The Dwyer situation is a lot different then the Mainland situation where a coach is pushing kids away from Florida.

Only 11 seniors, so ships are going to be even tighter next year. Add in that much of the easy attrition has already happened and I'm ok saving a couple of slots

Interesting on many levels. He clealy felt, from this tweet to Devin Washinton above, that UF was going to "save him" a scholarship. Whether we promised him (and then with Anzalone, it went through) or whether he's just been very naive in terms of expecting a major programme to wait around on him despite decommitting, I don't know. But it looks like one or the other...

I really didn't expect us to get much on NSD, but maybe there's something going on we don't know about.

Wonder what this is? Ive always liked Stampini, especially when it comes to South FL info, he seems pretty plugged in.

Given his region, I wonder if it isn't Clark and Bostwick that he is alluding to. And maybe a surprise like Collins???

Somebody is going to come out of left field. With all the "not likely's" we have left on on our board, you would have to think one will "shock the world" and sign with Florida.
I just can't see us completely whiffing on like ten prospects on signing day, with as much as Muschamp has been on the road. We're going to have one signing day splash. At least, I hope we do.

Of course its different. Every situation is different, like you going from something Powell said to saying his coach is pushing kids away from UF. Williams live in Cali, and always liked SC. Powell was a different situation, he talked himself out of a UF scholly. Its silly to wonder if CWM will ever recruit the school again. The next kid will be a different situation, like the next kid at Dwyer will hopefully be different than Clark & Christian and more like Elam.

Coaches stop recruiting certain schools all the time. Especially if they feel like a school or coach is pushing kids to another place.

You think Wilson pushed QP away from Florida? He has only been the coach for 2 years. LW was always a trojan fan, lived in Cali before Mainland. Powell is one kid. Mainland has historically had good teams, with some bad kids. Maronto is finally gone, and I like the discipline they show on the field now.

Of course I believe there is influence to go to USC at Mainland seeing that multiple reporters have said LW was talked into going to USC the day before singing day.
We have a poster on here who says he talks to the family and the staff at Mainland was pushing Powell to USC. We also have Powell saying the same stuff LW said like "if they want me they will wait".

Same thing was said about Weiner & Plant for many years but some posters still disagreed that his players are steered away from UF.

Uh hey, UF. I'd like to put one of these scholarships on lay-a-way, for the recruiting season. No, not that one, the other one over there in the back. Yeah, that one.
Hey, I will check back from time to time in my other travels, and if something better doesn't work out and I still want it, I'll just mosey on in and claim it.
Thanks. Really appreciate it. Later.

Powell sounds like a good fit for the Miami Hurricanes. He has the character.

Good thing we kept recruiting a WR is this class who's coach did more steering away from UF than any other coach ever. Coaches don't have final say in a players decision. Every player is different and it would be stupid to write off a primetime program because of a coach.

I would say its a great thing they kept recruiting Robinson and why would they have stopped in the middle of a cycle? I was one of the few advocates on this board for continuing to recruit Tunsil and Walker. That being said the practice of stop recruiting kids at certain schools because of coaches happens all the time.

Well, I think that's dumb and I don't think Will will do it. Especially not in Florida.
