They guy said they would have a better ranked recruiting class this year.

Nobody brought up composite.

I mean it’s probably going to be so close on talent as far as rosters anyways. I do think Tennessee will have a better class this year but Florida is spending like drunken sailors on nil right now.

Yet in basketball recruits rarely flip once they make their commitment public. Do the offers only change for football recruits and not basketball recruits? Odd the process is so different between the 2 sports.

There’s a heck of a lot less big D1 basketball than FB recruits out there.

I’d be curious if by percent there’s any difference at all.

Media narrative doesn’t help. We have a great year and win ten games, make the playoff, and crickets or discussion about is being first out.

Florida goes 7-5 and has a couple of nice wins at the end and the media can’t help but gobble and slob on Billy Napier after spending the first six weeks heating his seat up for him.

Literally nobody in the media thinks we’re first out. Many of them think we’re hosting and a few of them think Ohio State should drop below us. Stop being a drama queen.

I swear 2 guys flip and everything goes haywire.

Stealing 2 of our recruits is not great though, especially at a position of need

Could be great. Making pronouncements before the HS class and portal adds backfill OR don’t ANY de commit is not an intelligent move. We COULD have NOT gone all in on these guys for a reason. Could be as simple our staff thinks they can get better bang for the buck considering ability AND fit combos. Have they been spending more time working others at those positions. Has our finishing stronger than others peaked interest from potential better guys committed elsewhere or not? Created dialog with this years #3 in the portal?

IF there are no late visits or conversations with these guys post noise that will be a big clue. Until they panic I am not. Especially with the possibility of maintaining 85 as THE number in the air.

Correct, College Basketball recruits usually never decommit from the school they choose. Comparing Apples and Oranges in this situation. By chance if they do decommit it's because the HC got fired or took another job.

Relationships are forged YEARS in advance, coaches are allowed much more access, and they play year round. Not to mention, much much smaller group of kids to recruit.

Football has 17 times the amount of work to do just to fill a roster.

Can you recall the last UT basketball recruit to decommit? I can’t.
Click to expand...
Last one I recall was Chris Clarke from Virginia Beach in 2014. Committed to Donnie Tyndall and a week later decommitted. It wasn't long after, IIRC, that the Southern Miss mess was detailed publicly resulting in Tyndall's dismissal after the season.

I didn’t remember Aaron Craft being committed to UT - thought we were still recruiting him?

Nope. He was committed. That's why he was at that cookout. He was there with two other UT commitments, Jordan McRae and Josh Selby...who also decommitted and went to Kansas.
