The one thing that we continue to talk about during this pandemic break – and a conversation that plays out over and over are all the talented prospects there are in south Florida.
Remember, this is an area of the country where top athletes get lost in the shuffle because there are too many quality bodies to see.
One thing about south Florida that we have learned over the years is that more student/athletes transfer than anywhere on earth – and while we usually find out how those moves pay off, this spring has not been too friendly.
With no spring practice – and most likely nothing going on during the summer with this ongoing pandemic, those who made the move over the past five months will have to wait until the fall (crossing our fingers) for things to play out.
There are so many athletes in south Florida that have talents way beyond what colleges are recruiting them for – and that is often times lost in the process.
Many, if not all recruiting services and analysts often focus on a player as a one dimensional, one sport prospect that colleges recruit to play a single position.
During this pandemic, the one thing that we are proud of doing is continue to expose and promote south Florida football prospects via our website and social media – and the remainder of the state on Twitter and Facebook.
Because there are so many talented athletes that normally fly under the radar – do to many fan websites and local media agencies feeling that posting video and analysis on “star-rated” prospects – will enhance their readership and add viewers, many athletes are left out of the mix.
There are a lot of great things about football in south Florida – and one of those is the competition you get the chance to lineup against year-round.
Competing against some of the elite players in the country, a player develops confidence. A swagger that comes along with being able to play against, and win battles, with some of the nation’s premier recruits. It’s been that way for 60 plus years.
